Camryn Halstead '23 Recruiting Profile

I have been playing volleyball since I was eight years old. I fell in love with the game the minute I put on my first kneepads in 2nd grade.   Since then, my dream to play college volleyball has grown throughout the years and I understand the grit, determination and work it takes to succeed.   I have participated on school teams, club teams, in group conditioning, personal strength training and a multitude of college camps and private lessons in order to reach this lofty goal. 

I am athletic and quick on the court and have a great sense for where the ball is and where it's going.  I have grown to be a leader on and off the court, setting a positive example for the rest of my teammates.  I have also learned to take the game point by point, to remain confident and to offer positive motivation to my peers. I am very coachable and desire specific feedback to improve my skills.  My coaches and teammates would describe me as a very hard worker, giving my all to each and every practice, workout and game.  

Academically, I have pushed myself with challenging AP and Honors courses so that I can begin college as prepared as possible.  I am on track to reach the highest level of Florida's Bright Futures Scholarship as well as graduating with my Science Lab Coat and Merit Honors Award.  I currently have a 4.2 GPA, and I anticipate improving on that by a few points.  I am very interested in Chemistry, Architecture and Interior Design.  I enjoy being involved in Key Club, National Honors Society and volunteering to help grow the sport with youngsters in my community.  

My goal is to attend a college where I can challenge myself academically and athletically. I am open to ALL options and want to ultimately find the school that will enrich my life while allowing me to bring an immediate and positive impact to the volleyball program.
