Personal Statement
My name is Joshua Norman and I am in the graduating class of 2024. I have been passionate about playing beach and indoor volleyball since I was 11 years old. I am a 6'5" outside hitter, and have put a lot of work and effort into passing, ball control and at times have played libero. I have been selected for the USAV High Performance Beach, now National Team Development Program, for the past 4 years. This has added depth to my indoor game, as I have played setter, libero and outside hitter, and feel like my court vision and volleyball IQ has benefitted from these opportunities. I have placed in the top 3 for USAV Beach Nationals, and now compete at the Men’s Open level in beach tournaments. I have played up at least 2 years in age the past 5 Club seasons and am grateful to my coaches and teammates for earning our first Open bid at one of my 14u years, which gave me experience playing at the highest level of competition at Indoor Nationals in Arizona in 2018. I have been blessed this year 2021/2022 season to start on the Front Range Volleyball Club 16 1’s team and play with other competitive sophomores in high school. It is my desire to play as an outside hitter in college. I am passionate about volleyball, and I study the game every day through film or through practices or tournaments. I take pride in working on my academics, skills, athleticism, and mental strength. My main attributes are my work ethic, strength, and desire to win. I am a person that is strong in my faith and I am of good moral character. I know that I will make a good addition to the right school's volleyball program and look forward to being part of a college team and campus community.
