AMINA KYRYKBAEVA — THE PRIDE OF AMANZHOLOV UNIVERSITY

She serves with confidence, receives the ball with composure, and always pushes to the very end. For her, there are no obstacles — only a goal: victory. Amina Kyrykbaeva, a 4th-year student of the Physical Education and Sports program at Sarsen Amanzholov East Kazakhstan University, is an example of strength, perseverance, and true passion for sports.

Amina began her volleyball journey in childhood. From the very first practices, it became clear — before the coaches stood not just a talented girl, but a future leader. Through years of dedicated training, she progressed from school competitions to major national and international arenas, earning the title of Master of Sports of the Republic of Kazakhstan in volleyball.

Today, Amina plays for the women’s volleyball club “Berel.” And at just 19 years old, she already has extensive experience. Her achievements include an impressive list: 12-time Champion of Kazakhstan, two-time national youth champion (2024, 2025), silver medalist of the Kazakhstan Championships (U21, U23), medalist of the 6th Summer Spartakiad of Kazakhstan, and participant of the Asian Youth Championships — Thailand (2022) and China (2024).

Every match for her is a challenge to herself. She knows that behind major victories lie hours of training, pain, fatigue, and constant work on mistakes. But it is this path that makes each triumph truly meaningful.

Amina is not just an athlete — she inspires others with her example. Her classmates respect her for her diligence and leadership, teachers appreciate her discipline and responsibility, and younger athletes see in her a role model proving that dreams can become reality.

Today, Amina Kyrykbaeva continues to grow — both as a professional volleyball player and a future educator. She believes that sport is not only about competition, but also a school of life where character, willpower, and the ability to pursue one’s goals no matter what are forged.

Through her achievements, she brings honor to Sarsen Amanzholov EKU, inspiring the new generation of students to believe in themselves, move forward, and never give up.
