KYLEE KOPATICH

My name is Kylee Kopatich. I grew up in Olathe, Kansas and attended Olathe South High School where I earned a scholarship to play at the University of Kansas. I graduated in 2020 and started competing in the DREAM LEAGUE Summer Pro-Am and then began coaching with the LTD Youth in the Spring of 2021. My faith has grown tremendously from being a part of LTD. When you surround yourself with positive people who continue to speak the word of God, you’re more likely to adopt those empowering beliefs. In college basketball at a power five school, the type of people you are influenced by aren’t always the best. While being a part of LTD, I am not only surrounded by tremendous people, but I am also encouraged to practice my conversations with God and share His message with others. Faith plays a big role in everything I do. I want to use what God has blessed me with to be a positive influence in the lives of student athletes. God has been a big constant in my life and I want to share that consistent positivity with others." I recently earned my Masters in Elementary Education and I am currently an Elementary teacher. as well as a high school girls coach at Bishop Miege High School in addition my role at LTD.
