Sarah Klug '16 Recruiting Profile

"I've worked too hard and too long to let anything stand in the way of my goals.  I will not let my teammates down and I will not let myself down."    - Mia Hamm

I have always enjoyed the challenge of balancing academics and athletics.  This quote from Mia Hamm helps to keep me focused on the path I have set for myself: to attend an academically challenging college, work to achieve a great education, and play volleyball at the highest level possible.

On the court, I enjoy the commitment to playing relentless defense.  Being a libero/defensive specialist, my teammates cannot perform to the fullest of their abilities unless I can get us in system with a good pass.  Placing team success first drives me to continually improve my individual skills.  By using logic rather than emotion, I am able to shake off mistakes and mentally prepare for the next play.  Playing volleyball in college is one of my lifetime goals because I want to take my game to the next level and push myself to be the best player I can be.

In the classroom, I enjoy learning and am actively preparing myself for medical school.  With honors level courses in math and science, I have been able to maintain a 3.88 GPA and high academic honors.  I am so blessed to have the opportunities to get a great education at Divine Savior Holy Angels High School and to play volleyball at competitive high school and club levels.  I welcome the challenge to excel academically and athletically at the collegiate level.
