Personal Statement
As a dedicated athlete with years of experience playing volleyball, I believe that I would be an excellent addition to a university's volleyball team. I possess a unique combination of technical skills, athleticism, and mental toughness that I believe would make me a valuable asset to the team.
First and foremost, I have a deep passion for the sport of volleyball. I have been playing for over 7 years and have dedicated countless hours to improving my technique and honing my skills. I am constantly seeking out new challenges and opportunities to grow as a player, and I am eager to push myself to new heights at the collegiate level.
My proudest achievements include being a varsity starter since freshman year, winning the Far East Division-1 2019 championship, being the Kanto league all-star player for 4 years in a row, being named Kanto Yujo tournament most outstanding player in my sophomore year, and being my team MVP for the last three years.
In addition to my technical abilities, I am also a highly athletic player. I have developed a strong vertical jump and quick reflexes, allowing me to excel at both offences and defence. I pride myself on being a versatile player who can adapt to different positions and playstyles, which I believe would be a valuable asset to the team.
Perhaps most importantly, I possess a strong mental fortitude that I believe is essential for success in high-level sports.

I believe that this mental toughness would allow me to thrive in the competitive environment of collegiate volleyball.
Outside of athletics, I am a hardworking and dedicated student who takes my academic responsibilities seriously. I have a 4.0 unweighted GPA and have been predicted a 40 in the international baccalaureate program. I believe that the discipline and time management skills I have developed through athletics would serve me well in balancing the demands of volleyball with the rigours of academic coursework.
Overall, I believe that I would be an excellent candidate for recruiting university volleyball.
