Personal Statement
Winning a bid to nationals with my club team in St. Louis March 2016 has by far been the proudest moment of my volleyball career, While reflecting on that moment, I realized that it was the journey to the bid where I grew and developed the most as an athlete. Through the journey I put so much work, time, effort and heart into the game and my teammates, and for the first time I finally had a team that was willing to do the same for me. Which not only encouraged me to work even harder to become the best teammate for them, but also to improve on myself to become an exceptional, proficient athlete to compete at the collegiate level.
I am currently going on my sixth year of playing club volleyball and I have served as team captain every year. I was also voted MVP four of the five years. Through my years of play I've come to grasp and appreciate the importance of commitment, sacrifice, and teamwork. I need a program that will help me thrive academically and athletically because I have high expectations of myself in both areas and I intend to exceed them. I would be a great addition to your team because I have determination, discipline, passion, a great attitude, and tons of potential. I'm coachable, and a natural leader who leads by example. I am known for raising team morale and encouraging my teammates to dig deep and finish strong when it counts. And it counts every time we're on the court. I know I have what it takes to be a leader on your team!
