Kaylie Petrusky '19 Recruiting Profile

My largest aspiration in life is to come out successful, doing so by hard work and effort. Not meaning that it will be easy, because it won't. Everyday is a challenge and I won't ever stop trying my best to rise above those hardships by learning and becoming a better version of myself each day. Ever since I was little, it was in my nature to nurture and to help, regardless of what difficulties stand in the way. This mindset not only contributed in my desire to be a nurse, but it created just the beginning of my love for volleyball. I can't say that I'm the best volleyball player you've ever seen, but I'm confident in saying that I will support my team like its the best thing I know how to do. I've been on teams that are temporary, and only have the single goal of winning in their eyes. Winning, to me, is just the bonus of being on a great team filled with players who never fail to bring each other up when they're down. I believe that skill doesn't make a player, or a team great, its the determination and growth built up along the way.
