Taylor Pierce '20 Recruiting Profile

My name is Taylor Nicole Pierce.  I live with both of my parents and my older sister.  We live in Basehor, Kansas which is a small rural neighbor city to Kansas City Kansas.  I am currently a senior at Basehor Linwood High School.  I will graduate in the spring of 2020.  

I believe I would fit in with any team.  I am that person that gets along with everyone.  I do have boundaries but I always want to give everyone a chance.  In having this perspective, I have been able to be 2 things in life.  These 2 things are both a leader and a follower.  I am always willing to learn from others and never pass up the opportunity to teach someone else what I know.  

As far as college goes, I want to be a member of a college volleyball team at any position needed that I can successfully contribute to.  I have played all positions on the court with the exception of middle.  I have primarily been a setter through club volleyball while also playing outside and right side hitter.  My high school career is now 4 seasons old.  As a freshmen, I made the varsity team as a right side hitter, I was then moved to outside and finished the season as a DS.  My sophomore year I was a starting setter. My junior year has me at the starting setter position again and practicing at outside hitter as well.

I do want to be successful as a college volleyball player and I am interested in studying Criminal Justice as my major.  

I have played sports since I was in 1st grade.  As I reached 2nd grade, I found that I really enjoyed volleyball and softball the most.  By 5th grade, I focused on these 2 sports mainly.  After 6th grade, I gave up softball and turned my focus entirely to volleyball and have played and trained almost year around since then.  

I also volunteer coach girls volleyball at both the 4th & 5th grade level w one of my high school coaches.

I appreciate the opportunity to express myself and "talk about me" here for you to read about me.

Sincerely,

Taylor Pierce
