It’s always been my dream to play Women’s volleyball. Playing on sports teams at a young age let me develop a strong passion and love for sports. I’m determined to better myself every practice, be a coachable player, maintain a high GPA in classes, all while being an influential leader on and off the court. I’m a strong academic student who strives for balance between sports and the classroom. One of my biggest challenges as a player has been working with a torn ligament in my left ankle. I rolled it badly in grade 9, and after an improper recovery, have worked with that setback since. This experience taught me the importance of strengthening my body, to fight through any hardships I’m faced with, and to always leave a game or practice with no regrets. Being a student athlete has proved challenging, but immensely worth it. I am so ready to take on the next chapter in my volleyball career. In life, volleyball is what excites me and motivates me. I intend to work as hard as I can to go far in the volleyball world. Thank you for considering me for your team.
