Personal Statement
Hi, my name is Matthew Halapin and I am a rising senior at Blessed Trinity Catholic High School. Unfortunately, my high school does not have a boy’s volleyball program, however, I have been fortunate enough to be able to play club volleyball at A5 for the past seven years.
I started my volleyball career as a libero and have had to be adaptable to meet the needs of my team. I have been asked to play setter, outside, and right side and am now back to playing libero. I believe that the opportunity to play all of these positions has made me a more versatile, well-rounded player and increased my knowledge of the game. I have also served as team captain / co-captain for three of my seven seasons.
In addition, I have been able to attend High Performance training with USA Volleyball twice and participated on the Continental team in 2018.
My strengths are adaptability, coachability, positive attitude and leadership. I have stepped up to new positions when asked and have a desire to learn more about the game and how I can improve.
I am looking to continue my volleyball career at the collegiate level and want a college that will push me to be a better student and athlete. Thank you for interest and I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Matthew Halapin
