NSR Female AOD: Amber Hopf, 5’11” hitter-setter from Manteno High, IL, with a 4.5 GPA

Amber Hopf from Manteno High School in Manteno, Illinois, has been selected as our Female Athlete of the Day.  Amber is also a star off the volleyball court, having earned a stellar 4.5 GPA.  She intends to major in Education.  Her NSR scout, Bill Dozier, says that, “Amber is 5’11 who plays the middle, right and has experience as a setter.  She has played at the varsity level since her sophomore year.  Last year she played on an elite travel club (Uno South).  She has worked with her personal trainer the last few years on her lateral quickness and vertical leaping ability.  She has progressed each year in her aggressiveness on the court.  She is a quiet, confident leader and an excellent team player.  She’s a hard working student-athlete both in the classroom and on the court.”  In her essay to college coaches, Amber says, “I am a senior at Manteno High School where I have been on the high honor roll since my freshman year. I participate in Key Club and chorus in school. I play on the Manteno Panthers Volleyball Team as a middle/right side hitter. This will be my third year on varsity. Some other things I like to do when I am not in school is read, shop, hangout with friends, listen to music, watch movies, swim, tubing, knee boarding, ride jet-skis, snowmobile and sledding. My family is always doing something be it traveling or just hanging out in the pool in the backyard.  In college I plan on majoring in Education with a focus in Finance or English. I am looking forward to playing volleyball at the college level while earning my degree.”
