Personal Statement
Hi! My name is Maura Pilafas and first off, thank you for visiting my profile! I am in the class of 2022. I play beach volleyball at Team One Volleyball Club and played indoor at Sports Performance VBC for 8 years. I also played 3 years for Varsity at my school, Metea Valley, and took home our schools first ever state championship this year! Ever since the 5th grade, I’ve had an instant love for the all around sport of volleyball that has driven me to put the amount of time and dedication into volleyball as I do and tradition my dedication into the sand. Especially with the training and atmosphere that my club has provided me with over the past 8 years (and counting), I have become a player who’s not only extremely coachable, driven, and hard working but someone who’s open to any criticism to help myself improve. My overall personality is very laid back and friendly, I love meeting new people making it very easy to mesh with teams of all sorts.
My overall collegiate goal is to find a college that provides a place for me to be the best version of myself and prepare for my future career while at the same time being able to continue playing my favorite sport for another 4 years with a team that I can give my all to. A team I can bring value to whether it’s through my physical playing or cheering on others. Not only will I work hard in my studies, something I’ve also put a lot of work into and have a lot of pride in, but I would bring that same work ethic to practice, lifting and games. I’m beyond excited to try my luck at taking a huge next step in my collegiate and athletic careers!
