Kyra Whiteside '19 Recruiting Profile

I love to learn new things. My collegiate goal is to accelerate my personal growth as an individual, as a student and as a great volleyball player. I am very hard working and enjoy focusing on continual improvement through positive attitude, remaining open to feedback and evaluating and adjusting to constructive criticism. I pride myself in being a player that both leads others and is readily coachable. My passion for volleyball shows every time I step on a court, whether it is at practice or in a game. It is so important to be a true team player and I believe that must start with the trust and relationships that are built on the practice court.  I also know the importance of keeping up my academics so that I am always a balanced student-athlete. To contribute, you have to be eligible to compete and that should never be a problem for someone with such an amazing opportunity to play a sport they love at the collegiate level.  I am level headed, calm under pressure and am reliable and consistent, whether on or off the court. I value commitment, excellence and hard work. I strive to be an examplary team member and someone my teammates both respect and relate to.  I understand and appreciate the honor and significance of a college or university investing in a student-athlete and would love the opportunity to showcase my skills and drive at an institution that provides a basis for lifelong success. Thank you for your time and consideration.
