Kara Thompson '24 Recruiting Profile

Volleyball has been a large part of my life for the last six years; playing both club and high school. Outside of volleyball, I enjoy school and my classes. My favorite classes are history and math.  In my spare time, I like hanging out with my friends and doing other activities such as bowling, ice skating, and playing minigolf. One of my other favorite activities is cooking and baking.  My family and I also regularly volunteer at a local food bank and participate in community service activities with my church.

My goal is to attend a small to mid-size college known for its business and marketing degrees and to continue playing the sport I love for four more years. I have spent the past six years playing middle and outside; however, I am an all-around player and have been successful at both offensive and defensive positions. I have been loyal to the same club throughout my volleyball career and have a tremendous amount of respect for my coaches who now seem more like family. I am a positive leader on the court, always trying to encourage my teammates and keep things fun. But I am also a fierce competitor with a will to win. I hope your takeaways from reading this are that I am caring, loyal, hard-working, and someone you would like to have on your team and at your school.
