Grace Cardenas, U...Personal Statement
I attend Ursuline Academy in Dallas Texas, and will graduate in May, 2018. My goal is to play volleyball in college for a school with an outstanding academic program.
I am a 5'10" setter and right side hitter. As a junior I was captain of my high school team and selected to the All-Disrict and All-State teams. This past club season I played setter for Madfrog 17 National Blue. We finished 13th at USAV Natonals in the Open Division and I am returning to Madfrog next club season. This will be my 7th season of club volleyball. I have received team leadership awards, team MVP awards, and have served as team captain. I have run a 5-1 and a 6-2 as a S/RS, and my teams have performed well in national qualifiers and tournaments.
My sets are consistent and accurate. I read hitters and blockers well, am a good defender, and I am a capable hitter and blocker. I have a positive attitude and I am a good floor leader. I am very coachable, and I am a quick study so I execute game plans well. I believe these things will help me be a successful player in college.
Thank you for your interest.
