Kade Frank '27 Recruiting Profile

Hello,

I began playing volleyball in 3rd grade and I have been playing club for the last 4 years. I have previously played at Kairos Elite Volleyball club in Sioux Falls, SD on the 18s team. On this team I played a variety of positions from lebero, setter, outside, and even middle. This year I am playing with the High Flyers Volleyball club in Lincoln, NE on the 15-1’s national team.  

Volleyball is my passion and favorite sport but I also play other sports. I played basketball from second grade to freshman year. I stoped playing because I have a love for volleyball and wanted to continue and focus on volleyball. I am also on the track team. I do high jump, long jump, and occasionally the 200m dash and the 400m dash.

In the fall I practice with the girls varsity volleyball team and I am a team manager.  I spend a lot of time riding horses in the summer. I used to do 4-H and show horses up until this last year. Even when in season for other sports, I can usually be found with a volleyball in my hand every day. I watch both men's and women's collegiate games and learn a lot of volleyball strategy that way.  

I am a good student with a current 4.0 GPA. Volleyball is very important to me but I also have a love for animals. I live in rural South Dakota and my mom's family also has a ranch where I spend time every summer. These experiences have made me want to become a veterinarian.

My involvement in all of these activities makes me responsible and good at time management. These skills will be helpful as I pursue playing volleyball in college when balancing the demands of schoolwork and volleyball. I am driven to become a better player and hope to find a college where I can pursue my dream of playing college volleyball but also where I can excel in the classroom and life outside of volleyball.
