Personal Statement
Hello, I am Lauren Martin and I am EXCITED to play volleyball! My love of volleyball started as a second grader, watching the older girls at my school play. I couldn't wait until I was eligible, and began playing as soon as I could. I began in 6th grade where I played on our middle school "B" team. Through my hard work and commitment I was pulled up to the junior varsity team as a 7th grader where I played for 2 years as a starter. As a freshman, I made the varsity team and I've been a starter for the past 2 years. My desire is to attend college and play the game I love. I am very academics oriented, currently holding a 3.8750 GPA. I will excel in my studies as well as on the court. I am a team player, fully committed to doing whatever is best for the team as a whole. I am a strong competitor with a powerful hit. Although I wasn't able to list it within my profile, I am also on the weightlifting team and advanced to state level competition both years I've lifted. I feel this has definitely contributed to the strength I show on the volleyball court. I am a positive player and always strive to have a positive impact on my team, encouraging my teammates (and myself) to play to our highest potential. Team cohesiveness and camaraderie are important to me. I am loyal to my teammates, my coaches and my school. I am a honest, committed, hardworking student and athlete and will always give 100%.,..and I can't wait to play volleyball for YOU!
