Personal Statement
My name is Leah Warren and I will be a 2022 graduate from the High School in North Andover, MA. My goal is to play on a competitive college volleyball team where I can learn new skills, improve on existing ones every day, and play with other dedicated teammates. I've always been an active person and team player, on tennis and gymnastics teams for several years and also taking dance classes. I've been playing volleyball since I was 10 years old and started club play when I was 12 and have always loved the game, working hard to improve each year. I also played on our competitive high school teams as a freshman and sophomore on JV and as a junior and senior on Varsity. My position in recent years has been primarily right side, but I really like playing all around. Being an opposite works well for me, especially as a left handed player. What makes me different from other players is my good attitude on and off the court. I always try to look ahead to the next point or game and when I or a teammate makes a mistake, or our team is down, it's important to see past that and give encouragement to move forward. Also, whenever I feel pressure during a game, I don't let it get to my head and affect my play. I just love the game of volleyball and want to continue to play and improve for as long as I can with other players who take the game seriously but also love to have fun with it like me.
