Zuri Taitt '23 Recruiting Profile

My name is Zuri Taitt and I’m a high school senior.  I have been an athlete since I was five years old playing soccer for nine years and also playing basketball and softball.  When I was twelve I started playing volleyball and immediately fell in love with the sport.  I would practice in open gym every week with my father until I felt comfortable enough to try out for club.  I am loyal and very determined and can be counted on to bring a needed energy to the court.  I’m good under pressure both on and off the court and hope to continue my volleyball career at the college level so that I can continue to be strong both athletically and academically. I'm a goal-oriented leader and have a determination that motivates me to grow and stretch myself in every way. I want to be successful and challenge myself to always perform to my highest potential.

I have learned through experience that focus and awareness are equally as important in the game. I am encouraging and supportive to my teammates whether we are winning or struggling. One of my best character traits is hyper-focus.  If I make a mistake during, I want the next ball to come to me to show that my head is in the game and that I have a drive to win. I am very competitive and want to do all I can to help my team win.

I have plans to major in pre-law as that demonstrates my desire to analyze, push myself and fight for justice. In school, I am a strong student enrolled in AP and Honor classes and I welcome all challenges. I have also been a Girl Scout for 11 years which shows that I am dedicated to making the world a better place through serving the community.
