Personal Statement
My name is Kendra Nicley and I am a 5'9'' outside hitter and defensive specialist from Western Boone Jr./Sr. High School. As a freshman, I was a starter on varsity, and was able to experience my first sectional championship with my team, which was repeated my Sophomore and Junior year as well. My high school and club seasons have been truly an amazing experience for me and have helped me to realize what goals to set for my future. I was able to get involved with volleyball starting my 6th grade year, watching my older sister play inspired me to develop the skills that she had. As I grew up, I realized that volleyball was my passion and that I wanted to go further with it. My sophomore year, I ran into a minor setback in my volleyball career, I tore my ACL and meniscus while playing, and had to sit out a whole season. This obstacle only made me mentally stronger, striving to get better to play with my team again the following year. I am hoping to extend my volleyball career after high school and be inspired by new people. I would be a good fit for your team because I am very competitve, willing to learn new skills, and I am always seeking to get better.
