Kayla Maxson '20 Recruiting Profile

I am a 5'5" 135 lb Guard/Forward from Mechanicsville, VA.  I was on  varsity as a freshman and worked to become a starting forward my sophomore year.  Because I was young, I was not a picked captain on my school team, but I have been a captain on previous teams and I know I can be a strong team leader.  Ever since I was in elementary school I've always wanted to make myself better, whether it be going to camps or just running laps outside in my cul-de-sac.  It's just always been my dream to play a sport in college and pursue that sport to the best of my ability.  My hard work doesn't stop when I leave the gym, because I also continue to work hard in the classroom and at home.  This being said, so far I have earned a 4.2 GPA in my first two years of high school.  Personally, I am looking for a school not too far from home but somewhere that will feel like a home away from home.  I am pretty open to different types of schools, but some qualities that I would consider as positives are diversity, christian, strong academics and larger than my current high school (1600 enrolled).  I am not certain what i want to major in but I would love to continue my education in Spanish.  My goal is to get better as a player.  I want to be able to push myself to become the best and be in an environment that would encourage this.
