Personal Statement
Hi there! My name is Colby Feldman, and I’m a 6' 1" MB/OPP from the 757 area . I began volleyball at my school in 6th grade. Falling in love with the sport was one of the best things to happen to me, and it has taught me hard work, leadership, coachability, and so much more. Some of my athletic milestones include becoming the only freshman out of 20 to make the cut for my school's Varsity team, playing up at the 2021 AAU Nationals with my previous club's 17's team , and playing up at the 2021 USAV Girls 18s Junior National Championship.
I’ve had an unweighted 4.0 GPA since 6th grade, and my school also offers many opportunities for me to participate in extracurriculars (listed on my profile). Outside of school I have worked with animal shelters, The St. Baldrick’s foundation (to raise money and awareness to fight children’s cancer), and other activities to help give back to my community.
Whether on or off the court, my biggest supporters and inspirations have always been my parents. They both worked hard to attend medical and graduate schools to support the community. I aspire to do the same. They’ve supported and encouraged me from the start and I want to work just as hard as they did to achieve my goals and give back to my community. Volleyball has become my priority and I am not afraid to put in the work and discipline to become a successful college student athlete.
