Why I want to play college volleyball:
I want to play college volleyball because it gives me the chance to keep competing at a high level while also studying something that will set up a career beyond volleyball. By playing and studying overseas, I know I’ll grow both as a player and as a person. Having to balance being a student athlete will push me to develop real life skills, discipline, and time management. While earning qualifications that will help me long after volleyball. It’s a chance to challenge myself in a completely new environment and come out stronger on every level.
