Personal Statement

Thanks for checking out my profile.  I've played school volleyball for 6 years and Club the last 2 and am excited to have made the NCVA HP team this year. With my many interests, I am open to a variety of majors including Business, Management, Supply Chain, Architecture, and have a goal to play volleyball after high school, and eventually coaching.  

I spend time off-season doing weights, playing water polo for conditioning, eating right, playing beach and started a beach club at school, attending open gyms, watching video or games, practicing with friends at the beach or parks, coaching an elementary school team, volunteering at FCA and my club team's clinics, and helping with my school's girls team.

I like to think my positive attitude, willingness to help and explain things to newer members, and efforts to improve communication are the most important things I bring to my teams.  I think these things have also helped me be voted as USAVBJN All Tourney Team in 2022.

In volleyball I am most proud of helping bring my school team from the bottom of DIII to D1 this past year.  I am really looking forward to a competitive year of play.                                                                                                         

I'm very active in my community with volunteering, and hold teaching and leadership roles in several organizations locally and throughout the state like 4-H and ARBA and am looking for a school that has involved students or things I can be involved in.

I hope to speak with you and look forward to finding out more about your program, your coaching, and your team.  

Thank you for your time.

Braeden
