Angela Blinderman '22 Recruiting Profile

I am a powerful and determined outside hitter from New Richmond, Wisconsin. I originally started as a setter in elementary school and continued that position throughout middle school. I transitioned to being an Opposite Hitter my sophomore year of high school before taking on the full time role of Outside Hitter and Middle Hitter my junior year, as that is what my team required of me as a player. Because of my hard work throughout my highschool career I was awarded All Conference Honorable Mention and Tiger Pride my 2020 season for my growing leadership and intense passion for putting the team first. 

I have started as a 6 position player my whole volleyball career. I have been consistently playing JO volleyball since the 4th grade with 2 years being at Kokoro JO and currently with Osceola JO. In 2018 my JO club team, Kokoro 14-1, placed 3rd at the USA Volleyball- National Division National Championship in Orlando, FL. I am also very passionate about Track and Field. My freshman year I placed 3rd in conference for the 400M dash. My 1600M relay won All Conference in the 2019 season. I was also recruited my junior year by the varsity coach of the girls basketball team even though I had never played before. He was impressed by my passion for competition and my electrifying presence on the court and he desired that on his team.

My coaches throughout the years have described me as a team player, leader, disciplined, versatile and extremely coachable. I’m looking for a program that will continue to challenge me physically and mentally. I would like a University that supports my desire to continue in the sports field along with coaching. I am open to Universities that are a good fit and will be my home for the next 4 years.
