Crystyn James '20 Recruiting Profile

Hi!

Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile.

Before I started playing volleyball I use to play the piano and was a very quiet girl. My family and I had just moved to a new city and I had to attend a new middle school, but since I didn't know anyone I was really shy. I would rarely participate in my classes and had very few friends. My grade 6 teacher had noticed how deserted I was and consulted my parents about it and told them that maybe playing the piano was not best for me because it’s an individual activity. She told them that I should attempt playing a sport that makes me use my voice, preferably a team sport and because I was tall I chose volleyball, it seemed like a fun sport. I decided to try out for my middle school team and made it. Playing volleyball for my school made me feel really happy and that’s when I decided that I wanted to take it seriously, I now have been playing since 14U.

I have been described as a coachable, outgoing, funny and unique person who’s always willing to learn new things and is always aggressive on the court. I am searching for a competitive collegiate team where I will be a positive addition to the team.

As for my academics, I would like to major in Animation.

Maybe in the future you might see my name in the movie closing credits!
