Ryanne Kotte '16 Recruiting Profile

One of my most favored quotes has always been "Clear eyes, Full hearts, Can't lose". I chant this not only to my teammates, but to myself. Every time I step onto the court, I tell myself that "I got this", and truly I know that if I stay working hard and pump my teammates up, that success will follow. Success is key for me. As long as I individually play to my best ability and stay positive, then I will be successful. I aspire to be a leader. I want to continue supporting my friends, family, and loved ones. I play not only for myself, but for my sister. My sister inspires me to be the greatest volleyball player I can be. After my sister left for Arizona State University, my senior year of volleyball has been dedicated to playing for her. I know how proud she would be of me. She always told me she wished she would've stayed playing volleyball because every time she watches me, she aspires to be me too. My sister is my biggest inspiration and I couldn't be more thankful of her support and she has helped make me the confident, aggressive volleyball player that I am. I love what I do and do what I love.
