2023 Highlights #2Personal Statement
Hello, my name is Bella Berger. From the second I started playing volleyball, it has been all I can think about. I am a disciplined, energetic player and teammate with a lot of drive. I have strong mental toughness and the ability to manage mistakes. I take constructive criticism and immediately apply it to better my skills. I work hard and I am dedicated to the sport, my team and improving my skills to be the best player I can be.
My skills includes aggressive jump serves, powerful approach, arm swing when hitting, strong passing form, and the ability to read the ball on defense.
I am always so excited for practice because I can't wait to improve, I like the challenge of being the best player I can be. I love being part of a team, enjoy cheering my teammates on and seeing their success.
Currently I am playing Outside, all around. In addition, I have played Right Side, Setter, Libero and Defensive Specialist. I have played 3 seasons of Club Volleyball and I am really enjoying my 4th Club Season. My club team was just ranked #7 in the State out of over 100 teams. We have been invited to play in the RMR Top Flight Tournament on March 26th which is by invitation only for top club teams. I can't wait for the competition in this tournament and I am so proud of my team's accomplishments.
This past fall, I played JV as a Freshman starter for Niwot High School which is 4A school moving up to 5A next year. We finished our season 15-4 and with a Conference Tournament win. I finished the season with the Niwot Varsity team as a "swing" player. It truly was a honor to be part of such an accomplished team. They won Regionals, took 2nd in the Conference Championships and went to the State Championships finishing 5th.
