Personal Statement
My name is Skylar Fildew and I am a setter for the class of 2023. I have been playing volleyball for nine years. I currently play for Club 1 in Plainfield, Illinois, both indoor and beach. I also attend Neuqua Valley High School in Naperville, Illinois.
I am exploring my college options and my goal is to become an accomplished student-athlete. I want to attend a college where I can push myself competitively on the court and in the classroom.
My coaches would describe me as being determined and one of the hardest working athletes on the court. I love the role of setter because I am a dynamic and energetic person. I thrive under pressure, am focused, and have a high volleyball IQ that allows me to make fast, efficient decisions that better the ball and elevate my team's play. Also, I read the competition well in order to run effective offensive systems. And, my communication and leadership skills create consistent momentum that helps carry my team forward.
Outside of volleyball I enjoy drawing, painting, reading, and spending time with my family and friends.
I am dedicated to being successful in my high school studies and as a setter on the Neuqua Valley volleyball team. Thank you for your consideration of me as a prospective student-athlete at your school.
