October 2019 AGHS...Personal Statement
I have been playing volleyball since I was ten years old. Ever since I fell in love with the sport, I dreamed of playing at the college level. I know that playing volleyball in college is a huge commitment and it is an amazing opportunity.
I am a dependable player, and have a high volleyball IQ. I am a team leader on and off the court. I lead by example and work hard to help my teammates grow. I am very coachable and the hardest working recruit you will ever find. I might not be the most gifted player, but I strive to improve my abilities, get stronger, and push myself and my teammates daily.
In the classroom, I study hard and maintain a 4.13 GPA. I am also taking multiple honors and AP classes in order to advance my education. In the future, I would like to study exercise science or kinesiology and be a strength and conditioning coach.
I participate year-round in a strength and conditioning program with Arroyo Grande High School Sports Performance. My most recent maxes include: Back Squat - 205, Deadlift - 230, Clean - 145, and Bench Press - 125.
I would like to attend a college that pushes me in the classroom and on the court. I am open to all options and would like to find the best college for me with the highest level of competition possible. I hope to fulfill my dream of being a college athlete and completing my college degree.
