Lakin Whealy '16 Recruiting Profile

The goal of any college athlete should be to get a good education.  If you get a good education, you will succeed in life.  Sports have always been important in my life and kept me focused.  Although I have done many sports including basketball, track and softball; volleyball has always been my favorite.  It is hard to describe the feeling I get when I play volleyball.  I love the intensity of the game.  What sets me apart from most athletes is I am very focused, determined and willing to do whatever it takes to succeed in the classroom and on the court.  One of my biggest strengths I have always been told is how "coachable" I am.  I listen and take instruction well.  As a college athlete, I understand the importance of balance between school and athletics.  I am a very organized person with clear goals for my future.  I have qualified for State in track all 3 years, and have placed 2 out of the 3 years in high jump.  I am goal driven and give it my all at everything I do.
