Zoie Johnson '21 Recruiting Profile

Ever since I first picked up a volleyball, in 2nd grade, I started practicing and knew that I wanted to play volleyball at a higher level. I know that playing at the college level is a once in a lifetime opportunity, but it is definitely one that I desire and work hard to accomplish.

I try to be a team leader by leading by example, hustling and encouraging my teammates.  I feel my positive attitude is contegeous on the court especially when things might not be going as planned.  I try to challenge myself by trying new things even when it's difficult.  My coaches have a lot of knowledge and I try to learn as much as I can from them in both practices and games.  I am also trying to improve my leadership skills by attending an Athletic Leadership Training held by The Positive Coaching Alliance.  I hope to become a positive role model for, not only, my younger sisters but for current and future athletes to come.  I want to be remembered by my teammates by my good work ethic, my competitiveness, and the way I treat people with respect.

In the classroom I am maintaining a 3.929 GPA and belong to the student council.  Outside of the class, I'm either working out, playing volleyball, softball, or throwing shot put and discus for my school teams.  I enjoy drawing, babysitting, reading, helping with our animals and helping out with my sisters' sports teams.

I want to attend a college that will push me to expand my knowledge and my ability to volleyball. I would like to attend a college with a good medical program so I can be on the right track to becoming an orthopedic surgeon.  Life is short; Work Hard; Play Volleyball.
