Personal Statement
My name is Sophia Meagher and I am currently a Junior at Riviera Preparatory School in Miami, FL, graduating in 2020. I am a 6'2" Middle Blocker on the Riviera Varsity Volleyball team, as well as the Miami Hype Travel Team (17U Team A). In addition to playing Middle Blocker on my Club and High School Team, I also play Right Side and Outside Hitter. This past summer, I played in the USAV Girls' National Junior Championship, where my team, Miami Hype 16 Red, placed second in the nation and I was named to the "All Tournament Team."
I am motivated on and off the court, and have a strong and focused work ethic. I manage my time well, as I am taking AP and honors classes, playing on the Varsity Volleyball School Team and Travel Club Team, while maintaining a 4.3 GPA. I am reliable and a team player. In fact, I was awarded Teammate of the Year for 2018. In the gym, I am constantly looking for ways to improve my game, ready to learn new techniques and be taught by coaches as well as teammates. I strongly believe that as I continue to build on all of these qualities, experiences and accolades, I can become a successful collegiate volleyball player come fall of 2020.
While playing volleyball in college, I would like to study environmental science and business as I am passionate about the protection and conservation of our environment and how it relates to the corporate world.
From the classroom to the court, I look forward to making new friends/teammates, unique learning experiences, and further developing team and leadership skills that will be helpful throughout my life.
Thank you for your consideration,
Sophia Meagher
