Izzy Whittaker ‘24 Recruiting Profile

Personal Statement

I want to play college volleyball. It has been a goal of mine since I began playing in 5^th grade. My brother played college football, I was there when they won a conference championship and got to watch him celebrate with his teammates. I know that moment of joy was due to years of hard work and determination. But it’s more than that. It’s the relationships you build and contributing to a winning culture that puts a program over the top. My high school coach always say’s “add to the process.”  That is what I try to do every day: whether at practice, in the weight room, in the classroom where I have a 3.98 GPA, or even at social gatherings. This year I was a sophomore on varsity. I lead the team in kills but my big sister, a senior and the captain, was the true leader. I will take what I have learned from her and my brother to help me become a leader. So, that I can help my fellow teammates.
