Personal Statement
4/29/2019 - I have committed to play volleyball at Northwestern University.
My personal philosophy is anything worth doing should be done at the highest level!
I am a diverse PIN hitter capable of attacking, blocking and passing. I am a competitor on the court with a true passion for volleyball. I look forward to practice everyday and throughout the day. I love trying new skills and technique in practices. I look forward to learning new things to expand my knowledge of the game. Tournaments are fun because of the chance to compete against the best teams in the country.
One of the things I like best is that volleyball is a team sport. I enjoy building relationships with my teammates and coaches. I especially like constructive criticism because you know it will make you better. My coaches would say I am a team player who is encouraging and helps focus my teammates positively.
I consider myself a completely unselfish player willing to play wherever role necessary to help my team win. I have played multiple positions which has helped my teams but has also challenged me, making me a more versatile player.
It would be a dream to further my academic and volleyball career in college in an elite program. My passion is to become a physical therapist and in the future I would like to work with special needs children.
Whether it be volleyball or academically, I work hard and always to the best of my ability.
