Personal Statement
Hi!
My name is Ainsley but of my friends and teammates call me A. Volleyball is my passion along with strong academics and I am looking for a great school, coach(s) and team where I can make a difference and grow as a person and player!
You may be wondering why I'm still searching for a college home. Last spring I tore my ACL at a volleyball tournament which unfortunately halted my recruiting process. I had surgery in April and have worked every day to return even stronger than I was last spring.
Having volleyball taken away from me for so long has given me such a deep appreciation for the sport, and opened my eyes to how much of a privilege it is to play.
I have earned back the starting Libero position on my CJV Elite team and happy to say we earned a Bid to Nationals in Phoenix, placing Top 3 in Boston.
I hope my story tells you something about me. I am a team leader and am captain of my club and high school teams. I always try to lead by example and strive to be the hardest working player on the court. I also believe volleyball should be FUN and that positive energy goes a long way!
In the classroom, I study hard. I enjoy learning which allows me to earn a high GPA. I also volunteer at local organizations that focus on helping those most in need.
Thank you for you time and consideration!
Sincerely,
A
