kenzie’s Story

I started playing volleyball when I was 7 years old and immediately fell in love with the game. I currently am a Junior on the IU volleyball team. I’m from Westfield Indiana so I grew up being an IU fan. While at Westfield High School I was an Under Armour All-American Nominee and was #60 on PrepVolleyball.com’s 2021 Top 150. In 2017 I was named an AAU All-American and set school records for aces in match, aces in a season and aces in career. Once I got to Indiana I knew it had to be my new home. I loved everything about the campus and the coaching staff. I couldn’t be happier with my decision to go to IU! Since being here I’ve been an Academic All-Big Ten selection. I’m also pursuing a degree in Media Advertising Management and plan to graduate in 2025.

WHY ULTRA ANKLE?

I started using Ultra Ankle when I was 13. I struggled with ankle sprains when I was younger and the only braces that helped me were Ultra Ankle. After injuries, these braces helped me get back to playing very quickly. They provide the best stability and comfort while allowing me to move very well. I still use these because they are my absolute favorite braces. Nothing compares to the comfort and security these braces provide.

WHAT IS THE BEST THING ABOUT PLAYING FOR indiana university?

There are so many amazing things about IU Volleyball. One of my favorite things is the people involved in the program. I love walking into the gym every single day because I know the people around me are going to make my day better. They make everything so much fun and I couldn’t do it without them.

WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE YOUNG PLAYERS IN YOUR SPORT?

A piece of advice I would give young athletes is to work on the things you aren’t good at or don’t like. If you can develop your game and expand your range of skills you will be an extremely valuable player!
