2020 HighlightsPersonal Statement
My goal is to leave your team in 4 years in a better state than it is today. I’m a natural leader on and off the court, who always plays hard, raises up my teammates, and takes control of my academic, community, and athletic life. My dedication, hard-work, and love for the sport drive my ever growing love for volleyball and strong desire to compete in the collegiate level.
Over the course of my career I have competed in a total of six club tournaments across the East Coast and North East Regions as a starter for the Plainview Boys Volleyball Club. I have never missed a single high school or club practice in my entire 4 year career. I’m a coachable player who gets to practice before anyone else and leaves last while trying the hardest. I take control of the team and lead on each and every serve receive regardless of the score or previous play. My motto is, "Next Play".
Academically, I have a just as strong work ethic. I am a member of both the National and Business Honors Society, and balance those with an Internship.
I want to attend a college that allows me to grow as an athlete and a student. I am open to any and all opportunities that are presented to me, but strongly desire to find the right college for me with the highest level of competition.
