Personal Statement
This senior season, I made 256 kills and 60 blocks. With a hitting percentage of 0.453, I am second in the Sac-Joaqin Section and top ten in California. I made the First All Sierra Foothills League Team in 2022 and 2023. For my team, I was awarded Impact Player of the Year in 2022, and Most Valuable Player in 2023. As a captain, I worked hard this year to motivate my teamates and find my speaking voice. I pride myself on my perfectionism, and the drive to work on a skill over and over again.
Seven years ago, my volleball career began when my mom took me to my first clinic and introduced me to volleyball. Since then, it has become a colossal part of my life. Gaining confidence in my playing ability over the years has gone hand in hand with better mental health and an improved self-image. Learning to play well under pressure, working past negative thoughts, and persisting through daily practice has made me who I am today. I’m looking to continue to play competitively in college and to continue to improve myself as a middle-blocker.
