Zuma Kan Zuma Kan 5'5" | DS/L/OH Eureka | 2029 CA ‘s mindset is her foundation. She has the ability to move past mistakes quickly, keeping her level steady and bringing confidence to her team. Right now, she is focused on improving her ability to read hitters by slowing the game down mentally and learning patterns, even training with unfamiliar players to sharpen that skill. Her goal this season is to become more consistent defensively while maintaining a strong presence on the court. Coming from a small town with limited volleyball infrastructure and only two years of experience in the sport, her growth curve reflects resilience, adaptability, and hunger to improve.

Zuma competed at the Matt Hartner Memorial Classic in Eugene, where she adjusted to playing outside as an undersized athlete and focused on leading through communication and composure. She was especially effective from the service line, recording multiple aces with her jump float serve while staying calm and organized in serve receive and play execution. Her next focus is becoming louder and clearer on the court, expanding her shot selection, and learning to find holes more consistently from the pins. Off the court, Zuma was recognized as Student of the Month in World Languages for her critical thinking and exceeding expectations, reflecting the same discipline she brings to volleyball.

Zuma will compete next at the CEVA Presidents’ Day tournament on February 14–16.
