Personal Statement
My name is Jaelyn Young and I am a Libero/DS graduating high school in 2018. I have a 3.8 GPA and I have taken accelerated AP/IB courses since my freshman year. I am a member of the National Honor Society. I also volunteer three to four times a month at the Animal Humane Society. I am 2016 High School All Conference Honorable Mentioned player and also was added to the JVA Watchlist for the 2017 club season. In college I am looking to major in Biology and study other courses as well under the science department; Business, and possibly Communications as my minor.
My goals as a volleyball player is to compete at the highest level of competition and continue to meet the challenge head on and exceed the expectations. I am mentally strong, always positive, a proven team player and confident with my play and leadership. I believe what makes me different from other recruits is my passion for the sport of volleyball, my tough love supporters in my family (especially my younger sister) and I have had the luxury of having coaches that have a high level of expectation and push me even harder. With all of these things, I know that I am ready for the next phase at the collegiate level and I am eager to learn more and perform.
