Personal Statement
Hi!
I've been playing volleyball since I was 9, starting with rec then moving to club/travel volleyball when I was 11. I am passionate about volleyball and, even though I tried other sports, volleyball is fun and exciting and allows me to be part of team while also contributing and growing on an individual level. In volleyball, I'm usually the calming yet competitive personality on the court and am always positive and smiling which helps the team in tough situations. I take criticism well and that's probably why every coach says that I'm really coachable. My primary position and strength is as an OPP but I have also played OH and did one season as a MH when the team didn't have any. Before volleyball, I did gymnastics which helps me as an athlete and particularly as a hitter. I may not be the tallest on the court but the other side is usually suprised when I block their balls.
I want to continue playing in college and will be a graphic design major. Art, particularly drawing, has always been my other passion and I'm creative and good with technology. No matter where I end up, I will always give 100% and work hard to help the team and myself succeed, as a student and an athlete.
