Personal Statement
Hello. My name is Jessica and I love playing sports and staying physically fit. While I have been playing softball since I was five, it wasn’t until I was in 7th grade that I realized my love for volleyball. In the three years I’ve played, I was a starter each year. And while I love playing volleyball for my school, I wanted to play year-round, further improve my skills, and compete at a higher level. So, I tried out and was invited to join East Coast Power’s 15U club team. I really enjoyed that experience, traveling to tournaments, meeting new people, and playing teams at all levels. I learned a lot about the game but also how to balance sports and schoolwork. In addition to my athletic skills, I am a good listener and I have an incredibly positive attitude. Even when losing or facing challenging situations, I stay positive and try to motivate others.
While I am currently 5’7”, I do not want height to prevent me from playing a sport I love at the collegiate level. I am still growing physically, and I am working hard to improve my vertical jump. Despite being undecided, I am excited about attending college, and am equally excited about joining and making an impact on a collegiate volleyball program. I am working hard each day to make those goals a reality.
