Josie Salzman '20 Recruiting Profile

I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed.”

                                                                                                                Michael Jordan

For half my life, I have played volleyball.   My goal is to play at the next highest competitive level that I can in college while furthering my education.  Like basketball for Michael Jordan, volleyball is a sport filled with failures but it also creates opportunities if you focus your goals on winning.  I like to believe, I’m a proven winner!

For Club last year, because of my athleticism and our team dynamics, I played a six rotation OH as well as OH for High School.  My comfort zone is back row where I can hit and read the court and the ball which makes me a great defensive player.  Coaches at every level I've played expressed my skill set as:

• High Volleyball IQ
• Positive Attitude
• On Court Leader
• Great Work Ethic

As I have learned more and more about myself and my desire to play volleyball in college, I realized it’s not all about athletics.  It also includes team chemistry, my coach, my teammates and our combined goal to work hard and be selfless. 

Life is a journey and I’ve learned something valuable at every level I’ve played.  I look forward to including new teammates and new coaches in that journey!
