Personal Statement
I started my club volleyball journey at the beginning of third grade, and I have been playing ever since. My main position is libero/DS, however I have experience stepping in to play setter, and am always there to help my team in any way they may need. In 2019, I attended the USA Girls Future Select High Performance Skills Camp in Nashville, Tennessee, and was invited to attend the CHRVA NTDP Accelerator. Another big honor I have received was winning the “13U Open Best Passer” award at the Capitol Hill Classic Volleyball Tournament in DC in 2020 volleyball season. This season, my team has received a bid to play in the patriot divison of the USAV Nationals in Chicago, Illinois 7/3-7/6. In April of 2022, I tore my ACL during practice. After having surgery a couple of weeks later, I was back on the court better than ever 10 months later. Overcoming this challenge has made me a stronger play both physically and mentally, knowing how important it is to be thankful for the opportunities presented to us.
My collegiate goals and aspirations for volleyball is to play at a university that will allow me to further my volleyball career at a high level down on the southern part of the east coast. I do everything in my power to make sure that I represent myself, and who I play for in the best way possible on and off the court. I also love to do community service and help others in need especially with my teammates. I am different from other recruits because I am able to play multiple positions when my team needs it, I have mental toughness and smartness on the court, strong knowledge of the game, and my persistent work strong ethic. I love the feeling when my team gets a kill off a spot that I told them was open, and also watching my teammates shine when I do my part to make their jobs easier on the court. I also stand out academically stand out by having a 4.0 GPA, being enrolled in all honors classes, and I was a nominee for the Carson Scholarship Award for my school in eighth grade. I am also smart on the court, and know a lot about the game of volleyball since I began playing at such a young age. I also feel that I am a very coachable athlete since I always have to desire to better myself on and off the court. I hope to become a Physicians Assistant, and Am looking to start my path to becoming one by majoring in a field that is closely relation to that profession. I am looking forward to taking my volleyball career to the next level!
