Eden Taddei '18 Recruiting Profile

Hi,

   My name is Eden Taddei. I am a senior this year at Hollidaysburg Senior High and will graduate in 2018. I am currently maintaining a 3.8 GPA while being enrolled in some advanced and honors classes. I am planning on majoring in business with a focus on economics and finance.

I have been playing volleyball since I was in 4^th grade and have loved it every day since. I also played basketball but stepped away from it going into high school to focus strictly on volleyball. I attended Bishop Guilfoyle Catholic High School in Altoona, Pa my freshman and sophomore years.  While there I was the only freshman moved up to varsity where I played as a starter and lettered both years. My parents made an academic decision and transferred me into Hollidaysburg before the end of 10^th grade due to the higher academic standards and classes. My junior season was capped off by a District 6 runner up and varsity letter while playing on a senior heavy team. I just recently finished my senior season with another District 6 Runner up. I am now moving on to our club season where I play for the Horseshoe Volleyball Club in Altoona, Pa. I have played with them for the past five years always playing on an older team. I have gotten to play in some great tourneys especially in State College, Pa at Penn State’s Happy Volley tournament as well as The Capital Hill Classic in Washington D.C.

I feel that I would not only make a great addition to your volleyball program, but to your school as well. I am very often described as being of great character, and being a hard worker. I strive and work to make myself better academically, athletically, and personally, but I also love to help make those around me better as well. I learned early playing with and behind girls that were older and physically bigger and better than me, that I had to work harder than they did to be where I wanted to be.

Everything that I have learned and experienced has taught me to work hard and to never settle. I try to make the most of every and any occasion I have to make myself a better student, player, and person. Thank you for your time and for allowing me the opportunity to tell you about myself, I would love to get the chance to show you in person.

Sincerely,

Eden Taddei
