Lyla Gery ‘24 Recruiting Profile

Personal Statement

I entered the 11th grade in the fall of 2022.  My first year of varsity volleyball was cut short due to fracturing my foot in practice.  As of Christmas, I am back to full health and getting back on the court.  Attending college, and working towards a volleyball scholarship are my goals. Though I have thought little on all the colleges that would be appropriately suited for me, we have looked closely at Belmont and Purdue,  Both schools that my family members are grads from.   I am also interested in schools that are in Tennessee (where I was born and raised until last year), Indiana, Florida, and Michigan.  Christian schools are a plus.  

I would make a great addition to a team because of my aspiration to improve and succeed. I like to push myself through hard situations, so that I come out as a more experienced person and player. I have performed in a wide variety of sports before making the final decision to pursue volleyball.   I have a fitting athletic character.  All through my school and club volleyball career I have found it easy to get along nicely with other teammates.  Working together to succeed, making me a great addition on the court.   I believe in being humble, encouraging, and having fun.
