Personal Statement
Hello coaches,
My name is Nicole Sparks and I am dedicated to this sport and excited for my future and where it takes me. On my high school team, I was a setter freshmen year, and as I have moved through club teams and high school varsity, I have transitioned out of a setter and into a libero, six rotation outside, and a six rotation right side. Although these have been my main 3 positions, I am capable of playing any position I am put in because I'm a well-rounded player. Aside from high school and club volleyball, I also play beach volleyball during the summer. As I play volleyball, I simultaneously attend and IB high school and have been maintaining a 4.7/4.0 weighted GPA ( 4.0/4.0 unweighted).
I have played volleyball for 9 years and I am confident that I'm capable of playing at the collegiate level. I am dedicated to learning and getting better at any position I am asked to play; I'm always willing to try new things and to give it my all, and I believe that is an important asset I can promise to any team. On the court, I am always the first to help a fallen teammate or reassure my team that we can do anything we believe in and to never give up.
I am open to playing anywhere volleyball takes me and being able to play at the collegiate level would be fulfilling my dream. Financial assistance/scholarships are important to me and my family in my college selection process, whether being through athletic or academic aid.
I would love to make a positive impact on the team and mentor those who may come after me. I look forward to playing on a competitive team and making a difference!
Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to hearing from you,
Nicole Sparks
