Personal Statement
Hello coaches!!
I want to play volleyball in college. I am a third culture kid (TCK) as I grew up overseas and moved back to the USA at 14. I played every sport I could participate in including volleyball, swimming, tennis and track. Playing volleyball is where I feel at home.
I can make an immediate impact as a DS or Libero. I am a fighter and determined to succeed. I take critique very well and apply it to my game right away. I am a natural leader and a very coachable athlete. I am dedicated to my team and believe we function best as a whole unit, a family. My coaches and teammates say I am focused, hardworking and perform well under pressure. I do not get rattled by big hitters. I like the challenge!
There were certainly challenges being a TCK but those experiences have made me who I am today. I want to be a student/athlete and feel that doing both will only make me more successful in both areas. Currently, I am not sure what I want to major in but I believe that is part of the journey of being a college student. Finding out what fits and giving it a go!
I look forward to hearing back from you.
Lauren (aka Lala)
