2023 SpotlightPersonal Statement
Hi, my name is Annika and I have been playing volleyball since I was really little. My mom is my head coach, so I have pretty much grown up in the gym. I play outside hitter because we are a small school, but I love passing and playing defense, so a libero or DS is what I hope to play in college. I also play varsity basketball and golf. I love working out and being active, so I keep myself busy with JOs, AAU basketball and Junior PGA Golf events in the off-season. I am involved in a lot of activites at my school and enjoy being part of the community. I hope to continue being active through sports and on-campus organizations. I truly love being a part of a team, and over the years as I have played with JO and AAU teams, the best part is building relationships with people who are all as competitive and driven as I am. I think playing volleyball in college will help with the transition, being with like-minded people on and off the court.
