Kylie Crohn of Wildhorse is an incredible athlete who has overcome many obstacles in the past year. Kylie has been playing volleyball for seven years, and currently she plays right-side for Club Momentum 14U Navy. Kylie originally began playing volleyball for fun with her friends through CYC for five years. 

Since then, Kylie has been playing club volleyball for various teams. She loves and cherishes the friendships she's made over the years due to volleyball, as well as the excitement of the games and tournaments associated with playing high level club volleyball.

Last June, Kylie tore her right meniscus playing volleyball, an injury that required surgery to repair. She recovered well while doing physical therapy and got back to playing quickly. During tryouts, last October, Kylie tore the meniscus in her other leg. The recovery process from both injuries taught Kylie a lot about dedication and perseverance in the face of hardship. Kylie got her 2nd surgery in November, and after a lot of hard work in physical rehabilitation, Kylie was able to jump into her club season by late December. 

She works extremely hard every day to heal her body, and to improve as a volleyball player. The constant support from her family, friends, and club teammates has helped her overcome adversity.

One of Kylie’s favorite moments is when she got an amazing kill during an important set in an extremely close game. She described the moment as “surreal.” When she's not playing volleyball, she loves to swim with her friends and family in her family’s pool, and she also enjoys teaching her dogs tricks and making bracelets. 

Kylie believes that hard work is the ultimate key to success in sports, stating “Hard work pays off! Everyone starts somewhere so it's important to trust the process.” In the future, Kylie hopes to play for a D1 college, and after college she wants to become an interior designer or an architect. We can’t wait to see what Kylie can achieve in the near future, both on the court and off of it.
