Micah DePetro '17 Recruiting Profile

  Ever since I was little I knew that I was going to play college sports. Growing up I played basketball, but when I hit high school, I found volleyball and fell in love. Although I started playing in 2013, I went from JV my freshman year to a starter on Varsity sophomore year, and again starting this last highschool season as a Junior. I currently play on an 18 Club team at my club K2, where I am am developing exponentially, and am owning my craft. I have always been a fast learner and a very coachable player. As a teammate, I am always encouraging and maintain a positive outlook, regardless of the situation. My character and work ethic as a player, and as a person, have matured tremendously and continues to grow the longer I play volleyball. I have the inability to quit, have a positive attitude, and am always energetic and hustle at all times. As a student, I work hard and always try my hardest during every class and every assignment. My education is very important to me, and just like on the court I am a fast learner. Playing sports in college has always been a dream of mine, but I understand that education is the most important thing when it comes to a collegiate career. Even off the court and outside of school, I always try to lead as an example for those around me, whether its my siblings, teammates or my friends. These characteristics describe why I should be considered as a candidate to play on the collegiate level.
