Natalyah Jones '24 Recruiting Profile

My collegiate goals and aspirations: My goal is to play college volleyball, receive a degree in Occupational Therapy or Radiology. Once I am done with my volleyball career, I will have a degree to help others. I have always wanted to play volleyball at a collegiate level ever since 6th grade. My mother  has had the most influential impact on me. She has shown me love, to never give up and to work hard for what you want out of life. 

What makes you a good candidate for their team?  I will be a great addition to your team because of my work ethic. I am always looking to learn new things. I work hard, I pick up quickly on new things. I feel that I am a good setter but I do know there is always room to grow, learn. I work well in a group or alone. I like to help out where it’s needed. 

I believe that to be able to play on a sports team you have to be able to work as a team so the team can function as one, and communicate. 

What makes you different from other recruits in character, athletics, academics? I strive to be the best person on and off the court, I  don't want people to just recognize me just for my athletic abilities, but I want them to notice who I really am, and that I am  genuinely a good person. I strive to have the best grades because education is very important to me.  I am driven to be the best setter, volleyball player that I can be. Whatever I do I am going to perform at the best of my ability.
