2015-16
My goal is to play college volleyball.
I am a high energy and very competitive player. When I am on the court I hustle and make the most out of every play. It does not matter if I am in practice or in a game I make it a goal to be the hardest worker on the floor. I have a good attitude on and off the court. I feel like encouraging your teammates is a huge part in being a complete player to any program at all levels. I do not like to lose so being competitive is a big part of my personality.
I started on my high school team and club team as an outside hitter and setter my freshman year (2015-2016). I was a three sport varsity athlete as a freshman at Carbondale High School. As a freshman on my high school team, I lead the team in kills, and was selected to the Class 3A South Seven First Team All Conference and the SICA All South Team. I also was selected for the Team USA National Training Program in Colorado Springs, Colorado in July 2016. I strive each day to be the best player I can be, and I will take any challenge head on. I am an outside hitter as well as a setter. Playing both positions gives me an understanding of both positions. I'm a six rotation player on my club and high school teams so I have the skill sets for all positions on the floor. I have good court awareness and can read defenses. I serve an aggressive jump float, and jump topspin serve. Overall I think I am an aggressive player who has knowledge of the game and passion to make myself and my teammates better. I know what it takes to WIN!
Not only being an athlete I am a student. I take school very seriously. I focus on my school work just as much as I focus on volleyball. I believe school is most important. I have always been on the high honor roll and have a GPA of 4.0.
