Personal Statement
My ultimate goal is to play competitive college volleyball while earning my college degree. I am undecided on a major at this time but I know education is essential to my future success. I know playing volleyball in college is a once in a lifetime opportunity that would be a part of me the rest of my life.
I have the ability and skill to be a versatile player. For my club team, I am a middle hitter. For my high school team, I am a middle and outside hitter as well as setter. I am dedicated, hard-working, and passionate. I am motivated and I play with integrity. I am a team leader that believes in leading by example. I am a supportive and encouraging teammate and very coachable player. I don't make excuses when I make mistakes and I don’t dwell on it but rather focus on making the next play better. I not only give all I have in practice but I work extensively outside of practice to further develop my skills to become better at the sport I truly love.
I have played sports (primarily volleyball, basketball, and softball) ever since I can remember. My parents truly believe and have instilled in me that playing a sport is about more than great athleticism and skill but much more about life…being part of a team, accountability, dedication, hard work, and determination. I have played club volleyball for 5 years; furthermore; I played AAU basketball for 3 years until the club volleyball and basketball seasons overlapped. I am not scared of hard work and I have found a successful balance between family, sports, and academics.
My love for volleyball is undeniable. I know it takes hard work, dedication, and passion to be successful at the next level. I believe I would be a great asset to your program. “Success is a journey, not a destination” by Bob Beamon, Olympic Track & Field 1968…I am ready to embark on this journey!
