Personal Statement
I have been playing travel volleyball since I was eight years old. Since I first stepped on the court, I have aspired to play at the collegiate level. My mom played DI at Radford University and is a high school varsity and travel coach. I would always cheer for her teams and play volleyball all the time! I know that playing in college is a once in a lifetime opportunity. I work hard on the court, in the sand and with my trainer to become stronger, jump higher and be faster! I have been very successful indoor and on the sand, winning Best Digger back to back years and MVP at 15's- Capitol Hill Tournament. Currently, State Player of the Year. Nominated 1st team All- State, Region and District Freshmen and Sophomore years. 716 kills in one season, 1,089 currently. I was nominated to the AVCA Phenom Team, and JVA watch list, Prep VB top 150, Prep Watch 16s and AAU Academic All -American. I am first team all- state and in the VHSL record books for 116 aces in a single season. I won the AVP America Juniors 14U National Beach Tournament. I have had many prospect letters and I look forward to finding the right college academically and volleyball.
I have quick movement on the court and a strong jump serve. I was a captain on my 15's Roanoke United team, played 17s as an 8th grader and last season as a libero/outside for Next Revolution 16 Black. I play for NC Academy as Libero on 16 Diamond this travel season wearing #1. I try to lead by example, while also encouraging my teammates. I am very coach-able and strive to be one of the hardest working players and one of the hardest working recruits you’ll find. I have always played with teammates 2 to 3 years older and that has made me mature and even more competitive.
In the classroom, I study hard and maintain a high 4.0 GPA. I also volunteer and work at local youth volleyball camps and am currently a member of our student government and BETA, Help Save next Girl and Yovaso clubs. I am on Varsity and have 116 aces in a single season, a VHSL Record. I just totaled over100 aces this travel season with NRV16s. Was voted court captain.
I want to attend a college where I can push myself in the classroom and on the court. I am open to all options and want to ultimately find the right college match at the highest level of competition possible. As a get older, I hope to become a great role model to all my peers and youth, make my mom, friends and teammates proud.
Thank you,
Caleigh:)
