Mallori Kucera '22 Recruiting Profile

My goals for college would be to play volleyball at the highest level possible while earning a degree in Interior Design or something along the lines of being able to help someone and deal with sports. Something else that would interest me you be Physical Therapy, or being an Athletic Trainer. I really love getting to know new people as well as getting taught new things by coaches and other players.  I find that it really helps me when coaches show me what adjustments to make and it makes me proud of myself when I do what I was told correctly. I feel that I am a good all around player with all the experience I gained at various clubs and camps.  While playing at VCN, they didn't just teach us just one position, we learned every position.  When I switched teams to Future Stars, I was put as a setter for my first year, and on my second year I was put as a middle hitter due to my increased height.  For school I played setter in seventh grade and then outside hitter this year in eighth grade.  This year I tried out for Elite and made one of their national teams where I have been placed as a middle again. I feel that getting good grades and studying is the same as learning things for volleyball.  So the harder you work for the grades the harder you will for work other things in life and it can help out a lot in your future. Everything has been leading me up to my goals that I have always wanted to reach. It makes me incredibly happy that I can look back at everything that has happened for the good in the sport and learning but also the things that aren't quite going right to help me prepare for my future. To help me get those things corrected and to make myself get better at these things I love having my family, friends, coaches, and myself to help motivate me.
