Volleyball
Getting a full ride scholarship for volleyball
Overview
My best friend at the time encouraged me to try out for school volleyball in 7th grade because she wanted to do it. I have loved the sport ever since then but I knew in the summer before sophomore year that I really wanted to go somewhere with it. I really love to win. It makes me feel like I am good at something and I love to know that people are proud of me. For junior high I received a medal for my volleyball achievements. I have also received mental achievements like being more confident and a fiercer individual. I've made so many friends along the way and my experiences in volleyball are never going to be forgotten.
Kel Bilger
I look up to Kel Bilger the most because I see her background similar to mine. She started out playing volleyball in 7th grade and improved along the years to become the MVP of the varsity team. She is my motivation to do better and to wow the people around me. Not only is she a role model in volleyball but in academics and life outside of school as well. She's the kind of person that everyone wants to know. I have learned so much from watching her play and taking in a lot of her constructive criticism.
Some of the top jobs include:
Referee
I love to watch the game and see new players everyday so this would be a good job for me.
Coach
This is a common volleyball job. This gives you a chance to interact with the players, mentor them and inspire athletes to continue to learn more about this wonderful sport.
Physical Therapist
This job not only deals with sports but also injuries or disabilities. This would be the perfect job because I love helping people, I enjoy sports medication and I like to hear people's bad experiences and seeing and helping them overcome those adversities.
