Athlete Info

Introduction

I have been an athlete my whole life. I’ve been through a variety of sports, but none of them fit me well. Until I found volleyball – my passion. I rediscovered myself, while playing. The sport has taught me discipline, diligence, respect, patience and team game. But most of all, it has taught me to fight for what I want and earn it. Playing at a Collage or a University in America will give me a chance to discover my full potential, not only as a player but also as a person and become a better self.

Interview

What makes you different?

Life taught me to be independent from a young age, to take what I need and to fight for what I want. To never wait for someone to give me something or to do something instead of me. I have always worked hard to achieve my dreams and goals. I never give up, even if all the odds are against me, even if I fall, even if everyone tells me I can’t do it, I always keep pushing and faithing until I prove them wrong. I am ambitious, determined, passionate, adaptive, dedicated, imaginative and hardworking. I think my qualities will contribute and complement any team, that’s willing to give me a chance.

Why do you want to compete in college?

I love playing volleyball and I want to keep playing it as long as possible. The colleges and universities of the United States can offer me that kind of opportunity, while they also offer me an education. They also offer a great environment where I can develop my abilities and qualities. The high competition will allow me to grow as a player and the experience of the coaches will grant me new skills.

College goals

Volleyball and life Goals?

I want to keep enjoying the game, while I get better at it. The more I play and learn new things and techniques, I find the game more exquisite and more intriguing. I want to perfect my game and gather as much experience as possible and maybe someday to pass it on to somebody else. I want to achieve my dreams and become the best version of myself, that’ll be the most useful to society.
