Personal Statement
My ultimate goal is to get a higher education while living my dream of playing volleyball at a collegiate level. After God and family, academics is my first priority, although volleyball is very important to me as well. My family and I have sacrificed time, money and physical and mental challenges for the love of the game. After seeing how it has shaped me, it was and never will be described as sacrificial. I understand what it means to be motivated and successful. I will do everything to achieve my goals. The most rewarding thing about volleyball is seeing the early morning conditioning, late night practices, and weekends thought to be "wasted" by peers and hundreds of repetitions amount to the perfect timing and execution of a play. No one but myself will truly understand the fulfillment it brings me. The satisfaction of a successful "perfect play" is what drives me. I love the process. I am a leader on the court, and I am a team player. I advance from my mistakes quickly. I am an aggressive, smart player who can lead and follow directions. I love running a quick offense, and a quick lateral defense. I appreciate you taking time out of your busy schedule to learn more about me. Thank you.
