Dallas Qualifier 18sPersonal Statement
My name is Sophia Verdicchio. I am currently a class of 2026 L/DS on 18 Black at NC Elite Volleyball Club. I attend Wake Young Women's Leadership Academy (WYWLA) and play volleyball on varsity at Needham Broughton High School in Raleigh, NC. While participating in volleyball and academics are my main focus, I also love weightlifting, yoga, photography for sports teams, and any kind of art. This year I was chosen for the unique opportunity to model for Young and Free Photography, a high end, high fashion portrait photographer.
I am the youngest of four children, two of which participated in high level college sports. I plan to follow in their footsteps while pursuing a degree in Interior Design or Architecture. It takes a lot of hard work to get there and I continue to put in every effort possible to achieve this goal and dream.
Please check out my TikTok @volleyballlife15_. I have created a platform to share my accomplishments and sometimes mistakes on the court to show we are all human.
