Annette Angeles '21 Recruiting Profile

I personally strive to do my best everyday.  But perfection is not what I’m trying to achieve.  I just want to push myself to improve and get better at anything I am doing.  Specifically playing volleyball is what is helping me to improve in life.

There will always be challenges to overcome.  There will always be mistakes along the way.  The great thing about volleyball is that it helps me practice the skills I need to come up with solutions and learn from my mistakes.  When I get a bad grade on a test, I think of the encouraging words that are said in volleyball cheers, “Shake it off, you got the next one.”

I have learned so much from my experiences as a Libero and am grateful every time I get on the court.  My volleyball community supports me and I support them.  Whether I’m with my club team, my varsity team or with my open gym friends, we always encourage one another to work hard and get better each time we play.

Volleyball is a teacher that shows me how to improve on and off the court.  Volleyball is a motivator that allows me to believe in myself no matter how many mistakes I make.  Volleyball will always be part of my life.
