Personal Statement
I have been playing volleyball for 7 years now for school and 4 years for club. It is the absolute love of my life and when i'm playing nothing else in the world matters. I have worked very hard for everything I have gotten in academics and volleyball. As a student athlete I know how important it is to work just as hard at your grades as you would at a sport. I want to attend a school that would suit me in both of those areas. Also, the importance of a supportive team is so great to me because without the motivation and support from others the team just doesn't work, speaking from experience. My teammates elected me team captain last school season and that meant the world to me.
Throughout my experience with volleyball I have learned that mental toughness is just as important or even more important than skill. Attitude is such a contributing factor to the level of the team. I pride myself on never having a bad attitude. I am always going to work for what I want and I really want to play college volleyball.
