Club - NCVC 15-1'...Personal Statement
Hi Coaches,
Hope you are doing well! My goals for college are to play Volleyball and major in Kinesiology, with a minor in Business or Marketing. After college I would like to play professional Volleyball in Europe and then work on getting a Masters Degree.
In the 7th grade I developed a love for Volleyball and have specialized in the Libero position for both high school and club teams. For the 2022 high school season MaxPreps has me ranked 11th in CA and 25th in the Nation for digs. I am one of the hardest working, supportive and positive athletes on the team. Some of my strengths include my consistent platform passing, ball handling, reading the court, quick reaction and communication.
Off the court, school is my priority where I have chosen to challenge myself by taking several AP and college level classes. If I'm not at practice or a tournament, I'm working at my retail job, volunteering for school projects in the community, or hanging out with friends and family. During the week I also work-out with a personal speed and agility trainer.
I have been fortunate to play the sport I love since 7th grade and made lasting friendships with many teammates and coaches. My goal as a college athlete is to continue to use this passion, competitiveness and strengths to contribute to a college volleyball team.
Thank you for viewing my profile and watching my videos!
Take care, Ben
