Leah Romano

My name is Leah Romano, and I'm a senior at St. Laurence High School, playing club volleyball at 1st Alliance in Woodridge, Illinois. Volleyball is more than just a sport to me; it's a key part of my life. It has taught me teamwork, discipline, and the importance of a competitive mindset. Starting young, I’ve learned how vital each player's role is and how working together makes a team successful.



What sets me apart is my mindset and love for the game. I focus on improving daily, seeking feedback from coaches and teammates. Leadership is important to me—I strive to be vocal and positive on the court, helping foster trust and collaboration.



I aim to play collegiate volleyball and pursue a degree in nursing or psychology. Both fields intersect with athletics—psychology strengthens mental resilience, while nursing supports physical recovery. I want a college program that fosters both academic and athletic growth, with a team-first culture. I’m coachable, flexible, and eager to contribute both on and off the court.
