Personal Statement
As a young athlete, I try to remember one key phrase, "You get what you give." To me this means, that hard work and determination will always help you reach your athletic and academic goals. Over the last 5 years of playing club volleyball, I have realized the key fundamentals to the sport include teamwork and effort. I learned at a young age it is not just about me, it is about a team as a whole. It is about communication and learning to trust your teammates. I am a very competitive person so I am always striving to compete not only with those around me but with myself.
My team was fortunate enough to qualify for GJNC last summer. It was an amazing experience and helped me grow as a volleyball player. We were the underdogs but my team was able to physically and mentally push through and we came in 3rd overall. It was a proud moment.
I am looking forward to the next 4 years in high school where I hope to continue growing and learning academically and athletically.
