Personal Statement
Hi, my name is Elyse Fitzpatrick I am a 2019 Middle on the varsity team at Eagle Valley High School and I am played my 7th year of Club Volleyball with Vail Volleyball Club. The last two years in club I was asked to play up an age. I am a 4 year varsity player. I was the only freshman on varsity my freshman year and the only sophomore on varsity my sophomore year as starting MB1. This year we are league champs in the 4A Western slope. Last year we went to the state tournament and were also league champions and Regional champions in the 4A western slope. I was all conference honorable mention this season in addition to being #1 in blocks in the Western Slope League with 80 blocks and .341 hitting %. I was named player of the match in several games with hitting % up to .667%. Starting from an early age at 12 playing on a 13-1s team, I knew that volleyball would be something that I would want to continue throughout the rest of my life. As I keep moving up age groups in Club I feel that I have become more driven, focused, and increasingly ambitious to achieve the goal of playing volleyball in college. I am extremely hard working, driven, and consistent. I never miss a practice, I have a great attitude, and I am always putting in the extra work and training to achieve my goals. I spend the off season training in the gym, going to college camps, and playing on a sand volleyball league. My love for the sport and drive to succeed keeps me training and playing year round.
When it comes to school, academics comes first for me. I completed middle school with straight A's each year with advanced classes. I'm currently enrolled in honors, AP, and Dual Enrollment courses with a GPA of 4.49 and I am a member of National Honor society.
I have been playing the Middle position for most of my volleyball career. I also play all the way around on my club team. I have great teamwork abilities and always strive to help my team.
I am open to any opportunities to play volleyball. I will consider any size of school and location. Thank you for your consideration.
