Miette Veldman '20 Recruiting Profile

Winning the Virginia state title with my school team has been the highlight of my volleyball career.  From tryouts we knew it was going to be a special season and we were willing to put in as much work as it took to be #1.  Not only did we accomplish this goal, but we were 31-0 and ended only losing 4 sets the whole season. I look forward to the chance of another unforgettable season with my teammates. 

Volleyball is my passion and both of my sisters also play. When I get home from a doubles game or a tournament I always ask if they want to go pepper outside or just play at all.  As an eighth grader, I was a captain on the JV volleyball and basketball teams at Lord Botetourt High School. I have also played club volleyball for 3 years and was selected as captain last year for the NRV 16's team.  These leadership roles became a priority and a major responsibility and I loved it. I have no doubt that my teammates and coaches believe that I excel in leading a team. I am looking for a school that not only has great academics, but also a volleyball team I could contribute to.  I am sure that my passion and determination could make an impact on your program. Being a dual sport athlete and an honor roll student makes me sure that I could be a great addition to any program!
