Personal Statement
My name is Marcelle Rutherfurd, and I am a student at San Francisco Waldorf High School. I bring a lot to the court in terms of effort and personality. I always work as hard as I can on my own skills and to bring my team together. I believe that working as a team is key in this sport. As someone who has been a team Captain several times in my career, I am loud on the court and supportive of my team. I don't let my playing get worse if I make a mistake. I don't believe in shutting down on the court, and it's something I don't tolerate. I keep playing through anything.
I am very committed to school and sports. I turn in every school assignment early or on time, and I keep my grades high. I participate a lot in class, and I am driven and hardworking when it comes to my education. I read and write often in my spare time, and do other outdoor activities like swimming, hiking, surfing and running. On the days that I don't have volleyball, I go to the gym. I believe in keeping my body healthy and strong, and am very serious about nutrition and fitness.
I believe that I am a strong asset to any team, and that I fit in very well with new teammates and will work hard in any situation. I am very coachable, and come with high recommendations from previous coaches about my attitude and skills.
