Personal Statement
My name is Saniya Gardiner and my goal is to play at the collegiate level while studying Art/Law and getting my degrees. I love to read books and write stories/scripts for my freedom of expression, mainly ones with historic and non-fictional plots, so my expertise is Art and Writing, and I plan to keep up my education so it can be essential to my future success as a student, player, and professional. I am an all around outside hitter at my school, and in club I am a defensive specialist/outside, and can hit from any spot. I've always loved volleyball and wanted to play in college ever since I saw my first college volleyball game. I'm very passionate and positive about volleyball which motivates me to play and train hard on and off the court. I love to inspire my teammates during a game, and in the classroom, as motivation to continue to work hard to achieve success. I have great athleticism, the skills/ability to be a versatile player, and I am a positive team leader who encourages and supports my teammates. I give my all in every practice and work endlessly outside of practice and whenever there is extra practice to further better my skills and learn more. I am a very coachable player and I always look for input of what I can do to be better. I'm dedicated, supportive, hard-working, and determined to be the best volleyball player I can be, I am willing to sacrifice everything for the ball and for my team. I know the hard work it would take to be at your program and I believe I would be a great asset.
