Personal Statement
Hello! My name is Emma Pagliarella from Washington, Michigan. I'm a 5'9" Middle Hitter/Blocker, but can also play as an Outside Hitter. I'm willing to play at any position that my team needs me for. I am outgoing, energetic and competitive. It is my goal to play volleyball at the collegiate level.
I am always trying to become a better athlete and striving to accomplish different goals in regards to volleyball. I love to be a team leader and always show a positive attitude on and off the court. I'm always looking for ways to cheer on my teammates and show my enthusiasm for them and our team.
I have been playing volleyball since the 4th grade, both in school and club. I have been the starting Varsity MB for the past three seasons (2021, 2022, 2023) for Romeo High School, and am one of three co-captains for the team. For the 2024 club season, I am playing MB for the 18U Elite East team for Legacy Volleyball Club in Sterling Heights, Michigan.
During the 2022 Varsity high school season, I was awarded “All-Conference Honorable Mention“, ”All-County 3rd Team“, “All-Academic Team (3.5 or higher)”, and the Bulldog Award (most energetic/spirited).
In school, I have a 3.5 GPA with Honors and AP coursework. I have received the “3.5 GPA or higher” award in both 9th and 11th grades, along with the “PE-Future First Overall Pick”. I am interested in studying to become a Sports Psychologist and I’m currently following coursework in the Health, Human and Public Service (HHP) Academy at Romeo High School.
Volleyball has had a huge impact on my life and I'm excited to continue playing in high school and hopefully in college. Thank you for viewing my profile!
