Katelyn Durkin
About Katelyn
What's your biggest strength as a player, and how does it show up in games?
My biggest strength is how versatile I am. I can play middle, outside, or right side, and I’m comfortable doing more than just hitting and blocking. I like playing defense too, and I’m not afraid to get on the floor or take a tough ball.
I think it shows up in games because I can adjust pretty fast depending on what the team needs. If I’m not scoring, I am defending or rallying my teammate.
What are you working to improve right now?
Right now I’m working a lot on my footwork and jumping so I can be more explosive and get up faster. I’m also working on my transition speed, arm swing, and getting stronger overall.
I’ve been training a lot off the court too, especially on the little things that can make me quicker and more consistent. I feel like I’ve already improved, but I know there’s still a lot I can get better at.
What are you looking for in a college program?
I’m looking for a program where the team is really close and everyone actually wants to compete and get better. I want coaches who are honest with me and will push me, but also actually care about their players as people.
I don’t expect anything to just be handed to me. I’m okay having to earn my spot and develop; I just want to know there’s a real plan for me. I also want a school where I’m happy
Outside of your sport, what should coaches know about you?
I’m pretty easygoing and social. I like meeting new people, and I’m usually the person who can walk into a new group and start talking to everyone.
I care a lot about school too, and I’m interested in things like health, psychology, and business. I also really value being part of a team and having good relationships with the people around me. I’m competitive, but I’m not super serious all the time
What do you want to study, and what career interests you?
I’m still figuring out exactly what I want to do, but I’m really interested in health, psychology, and possibly business. I like learning about how people think and how the body works, so I could see myself doing something in healthcare or a field where I’m working with people.
