Personal Statement
I was proud to captain Downers Grove North HS to a 32-8 record, and a school best Sectional Final advancement in the state tournament, putting DGN in the final sixteen teams in Illinois. North finished ranked #9 in Illinois. After my team's success, I received the following individual awards; WSC All-Academic Team, WSC 1st Team All-Conference, 1st Team All-DuPage County and 3rd Team All-State.
At my church I am involved in Youth Ministry, Alter Serving and assisting my father's Knights of Columbus council.
I am blessed with athletic genes, as my father played Division I soccer at Loyola University of Chicago and is a former PGA Golf Professional, and my mother's father played football at Northern Illinois University and was invited to tryout for the Chicago Bears.
I am determined to play volleyball in college at the highest level possible that affords me personal and team success, while getting the best education possible. Please reach out to all of my listed coaches to learn about my sportsmanship, coachability and my overall value to the school I choose to enroll.
Sincerely,
Brian J. Long
