2013 HighlightsPersonal Statement
There's nothing I want more than to be able to continue playing college volleyball. I've had to move many times and to different states but my desire and drive has never changed. I work hard during the off season by going to the gym, lifting weights, and skill set/agility training. I play hard every moment in a game or in practice. I run winter and spring track to stay in shape and improve my ability to react to the ball quicker. I have improved tremendously playing JUCO volleyball, and I continue to increase my skill sets when out of season. I believe my drive to win and my hatred of losing is key to my being a skilled player. I have heart and talent and the drive to compete with anyone and not back down. Volleyball is not just a game or a sport event, its a lifestyle that I am good at and want to continue getting better. God has given me this love for volleyball, and I play to win.
