Jamie Koopman '20 Recruiting Profile

Playing college volleyball has always been a dream of mine since the sixth grade and would love the opportunity to play in college! Both on and off the court, I am well known for my outgoing and bubbly personality, my powerful presence, and work ethic. My name is Jamie Koopman and I have been playing volleyball for 6 years. I am six feet tall and weigh about 170 pounds, all legs and arms of course. From the very beginning, coaches liked me specifically because I was tall and very coachable. Since then, I have grown into a formidable middle hitter and have also played opposite side hitter. I am a very quick learner and I am always open to new coaches, new styles, and new techniques. Outside of volleyball, I spend most of my time on school. Sure, I am very social and love a good time, but I am focused on my studies and my dedication to the team. I have an un-weighted GPA of 3.81 and a weighted GPA of 4.89. I achieve mostly A’s and an occasional B. I am very strong in writing and have great leadership skills. This supports my hopes of pursing a career in public relations. I love a good challenge and am not afraid of hard work. If I am given a task, I will not stop until it is completed. I am very goal oriented and focused on getting things done. I take challenging AP classes and any course that provides me with another opportunity to write, I am even taking math classes a year ahead of my peers. I have a natural born talent of “working the room” as quoted by my preschool teacher when I was at a young age of 4. I have a very bold, yet friendly, and energetic personality. This also helps out on the court. I am positive and always making sure everyone is on the same level, spiritually. Talking is the easy part for me. Overall, I am a very happy and funny girl who spends most of my time practicing the sport I love- volleyball.
