5'11 Middle from Sarajevo looking for scholarship

[BIP]

My name is Lajla Rasljanin and I am a 5’11’’ Middle Blocker and I am interested in playing for your university’s program. I am from Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, whose Women’s Volleyball National Team I am a member of and I would love to be considered for the 2023 recruiting class.

In 2019, I have achieved many results with my club, OK Novi Grad. We won first place in the U16 regional championship, which qualified us to the state championship where we placed third. At international tournaments in Slovenia and Croatia, we won 1st place that same year. With good club results, I won the award for the best middle blocker of both tournaments. Then we marked the season with the first place in the Super league qualifying us for the Highest league of our country. In 2020, we again won first place in the championship. The same year, I was invited to play for the national team of Bosnia and Herzegovina, where I was chosen among the top 15 in the country, which was one of my greatest achievements. In 2021, we won 2nd place in the championship. We were also the champions of the Super league. Aside the usual tournaments we played every year, we were invited to the 17th GLOBAL CHALLENGE during the summer of 2022. Global challenge tournament is special because American teams participate together with some of the best European teams. We took a phenomenal 4th place, amongst 18 other teams in the U18 category.

I am a hard worker ready to adjust to any changes or requirements. My jump approach is 9’6’’ and I am convinced I would be able to improve.


Studying in the US would open great new opportunities for my future career, an opportunity almost impossible to find in Europe let alone a country like Bosnia and Herzegovina. Since elementary school, I have always dreamt of studying and playing volleyball at the same time. Not only would I be able to achieve these two things, but I would also be provided with a great choice when it comes to schooling and education. American universities have a wide range of career choices and, what is most appealing to me, put great importance on sports. Undoubtedly, GPA is indispensable and mine is 4.0. I was honored by being named the best student in my elementary school and in high school receiving many praises for my grades and participation in extracurricular activities. I am looking for a full scholarship.


I have attached a short film below and if you could watch it and let me know what you think that would be great! Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Best, Lajla Rasljanin
