Spiking excersicePersonal Statement
Since the beginning of my High School studies, I've been making the combination of State Extra-league intense Volleyball trainings and tournaments with a highly academic technical school work. I believe I managed to combine these two programs with successful results.
While competing at the Extra-League level within my own age category, I have also been training, playing & travelling with above my age Extra-League categories since I was 12 years old.
My academic commitments have prevented me from joining the Czech National Team, which I have been offered to join on multiple occasions. However, I am repetitively invited to train with the Czech National Team at their annual intensive training sessions, which I have participated in. These training sessions continue to improve my skillset as a high-level Volleyball player.
The prospect for me to continue my academic journey along with playing Volleyball at a high level has lead me to explore US universities’ options of being a student athlete.
I am adaptable, creative, confident and hardworking.
Thank you for your consideration.
