One of the goals in our Down the Line experience is to help connect with some of our Alumni, and use their stories to help guide our current athletes down their recruiting journey. I was honored to have the opportunity to catch up with one of our Tribe Alumni, and part of our 2018 graduating class, Shari Stenglein. Shari graduated from a small school in Fort Lauderdale, and then had the chance to play college volleyball in the Ivy League, in one of the biggest cities in the United States. During our conversation Shari reflects on her recruiting process, and some of the factors that led her to choosing Columbia University. Then she discussed some of the adversity she had to face which led to embracing some different roles early in her college career, that ultimately led her to to a very successful senior season. She also offered some insight as to what athletics looks like inside one of the top academic schools in the country, and gives her advice to future athletes from lessons that she learned along the way. I hope that you enjoy the time with Shari as much as I did, please look for future episodes where we reconnect with former Tribe Athletes, who share their unique recruiting journeys and playing experiences!
