Personal Statement
My name is Jenna Barnak from Indian Harbour Beach Florida. I am a very strong willed and determined student athlete . For 9 years, I have been dedicated to improving my volleyball skills. Currently, I have a full scholarship playing for Eastern Florida State College under Coach Andrea Rasmussen. My primary position is Middle/ Right Side Hitter. I am a sophmore who is grateful for my lastseason with the Titans! Then, I am looking for the next step in my academic and athletic career.
Originally I committed to playing for a Division II school. I decided that the academic focus of the school was not the right fit for me. Coach Andrea gave me the opportunity to play at EFSC. This gave me the time to evaluate where I want to focus. The ability to get my prerequisites completed as a Titan is a blessing! I am a strong student and my academics are a huge priority for me! I am hoping to continue my educational direction in learning to teach children.
When you are a Titan the season doesn't end with the indoor court. Coach Andrea keeps us busy all year long. We have weight training, indoor practice and beach practice . We travel to other colleges and play in sand tournament formats. We also continue to scrimmage indoor with other colleges during the off season.
In my free time I am a volleyball coach for a club team of 13 year old girls. They really teach me the importance of respecting my coach, my team and the importance of all the basic skills of the sport I love. Oh, and how to deal with volleyball parents!
So grateful you took the time to read a bit about me! Jenna
