Teagan Pegram '24 Recruiting Profile

I have been in sports as far back as I can remember.  My love of competition runs deep.  I started Volleyball when I was 8 years old at a YMCA camp league.  I instantly loved it and begged my Mom to play.  However, at the time I was in my third year of Irish dancing and a Girl Scout Junior.  I also loved to run an occasional 5K.  So after some discussion with my parents, I gave up dance to follow my love of Volleyball.  I think the athletism of Irish dance which was lots of legs and core gave me the advantage to play Volleyball. I started court mini club and club season in Fall of 2015 I was in a 9U age division.  I loved my teammates and the competition of the game.  I played middle school and am currently playing Varsity Court and Varsity beach.  After many years of court and my second year of beach, I realized my love of playing on sand.  I looked forward to beach season far more than court.  In my first year, I started 5th line consistently.  Last year I played 3drd line and received the most improved players award along with my teammate.  This year I played line 2 and filled in on line one when our line one player was injured. I look forward to my next  year playing high school beach and training with Phil Dalhaussers beach club.  I would describe my character as hardworking, encouraging,  persistent, and coachable.  I enjoy working out and supporting other sports at my school.  I also am a member of FCA and SGA.  It is important for me to develop myself as a leader as well as a player.  As a part of my personal development, I also completed my Silver award in girl scouts last year.  Girl Scouts has been a part of my life since I was five years old and has been a big part of developing my personal character.  It is important to me that whatever I do in sports or life there is no replacement for honesty, kindness, and hardwork.
