Tajai Ling '16 Recruiting Profile

I didn't always play volleyball. In my freshman year I played basketball and football I decided I needed a spring sport to play to keep me in game condition. Since I liked basketball more I chose volleyball rather than track in order to increase my vertical. I played the sport and when I started I was very bad but over a short period of time I gradually adjusted to the speed and technique of the game. I realized I became good in a span of 3 months and that's when I decided to play club volleyball for Ultimate. My sophomore I only played football and volleyball. Now I'm totally dedicated to volleyball.  I started playing club volleyball to improve my skills and knowledge of the game. I realized that my role on the court as a middle, and that's to draw blocks on offense and close blocks on the defensive end. In the school season I am used as an offfensive weapon and I get set and I get kills, I'm not fond of hitting errors and attempts I try to make my chances count. I'm a fun guy who is always trying to hype up my team and get them ready for the game. In the classroom setting I study and work hard because I know it'll pay off.
