Personal Statement

I would like to play any level of Collegiate volleyball, where I can be the most successful, given my height. I have good mechanics, I'm fast, and I have good lateral movement. I was tested by AVCA in May of 2014 and have a 21 inch vertical jump. This was during my spring AAU season. I am a very dedicated player. I work my hardest at every practice and work hard to improve. I am a very coachable person. When my coach tells me something I need to correct, I fix it.
