Personal Statement
My name is Oliver Mebs and I am a diver from British Columbia, Canada. I am graduating in 2023 but I am planning on taking a year off of school to focus on diving. I have just re-joined diving after taking six years off because of a mental block of reverse dive. During this time I realized that diving was the only sport that I want to do and I love it too much to stop. I decided to teach myself the reverse dive during a public swim then contacted my old coach to ask to re-join the team. Since returning to diving I managed to qualify for the 2022 Canada Summer Games and received the Rookie Of The Year award for my club.
In addition to my diving skills I excel in the sciences at school with a 100% in physics 11 and 12 and math 11. I am looking for a school where I can pursue my passion for diving as well as continue my education.
I believe and I have been told that I have the determination and work ethic to be a great athlete and I think I can make a great contribution to any team.
