Kayla Burt...Head Coach Bronze Team-1st Year
A graduated from Arlington High School in 2001 and her dream of playing college basketball became a reality when she accepted a scholarship to play for the University of Washington. Her career was cut short after suffering a cardiac arrest during her sophomore season at UW. She credits her teammates (who she calls her sisters) and the Seattle Fire Department for ultimately saving her life and giving her a second chance. After being told she would never play again; she returned nearly two years later to play with an implanted defibrillator.
Kayla graduated from the University of Washington in 2006 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communication. After graduation she became an assistant coach at the University of Portland for a season and then returned to Seattle where she became an EMT in South King County and also worked in the ER at Valley Medical Center as a Medical/Surgical Technician.
She now works at the Hope Heart Institute in Bellevue where awareness and education of sudden cardiac arrest has become her passion. She is also in her first season as an assistant coach at West Seattle High School where she coaches the JV team.
Kayla thanks athletic participation in shaping her work ethic, leadership, positive attitude, and the platform in which she has been able to meet many people from all walks of life. Basketball has taken her to Australia where she and her UW teammates bungee jumped in the Cairns Rainforest, France where she used basketball to reach youth in ministry, and the Netherlands to simply explore the country and enjoy professional international competition.
In her spare time, Kayla spends most of her time on Alki beach where she currently lives. If she's not biking or running she's likely hanging with her amazing friends, playing hoops somewhere, laughing, or listening to music. |
