Edward Moushikhian '12 Recruiting Profile

After moving from the volleyball capital of the United States, Southern California, to Atlanta Georgia in 2007 I began to competatively play for Southern Storm Volleyball club. Growing from my California roots of volleyball established by my Mom and Coach Walt Ker of Legacy Volleyball club I immediately put full dedication into playing volleyball at the highest level possible. My coaches Brian Teague and John friddle have supported my team and myself in becomeing the best players we can be. 
With my fathers solid build and mothers athleticism my 5 "11" 160lbs frame does not seem the desired body of an outside hitter. Fortunately despite my height I have a 38 inch vertical leap with a 10 "8" vertical jump reach. Being a shorter player in the sport has impacted me in a positive way forcing me to be an acceptional passer and a quick reader. I am not afraid of playing against bigger players or bigger blocks. That is usually where I show my true knowledge and skill of the game.
In regards to me impacting a team I am usually the one to be the most intense. I enjoy creating a competitive edge with my teammates while also building myself as a better player. My wanting to win in unmeasureable along with my love for the sport of volleyball. I do see myself as coachable and as a player that listens and learns my watching and listening to others. Yet if I have questions I am the first to ask them. I want there to be the least possible chance for error in practice and gameplay. I do also consider myself a quick learner in the sport of volleyball. You can put me at any position on the court and I will master that position to the best of my abilities. I have no certain part of the country I would like to go to school in or any particular school i would like to go to. I plan to study business and marketing and to create a strong business base for myself in the career or job I recieve. My athletic goal is to play at the highest level I can possible wheather that be Division 1, 2 or 3 as well as NAIA.
Our 18s team this year beat Impact Volleyball Club for the SRVA region title and i have competed in JO's for the passed 3 consecutive years. At the age of 10 I knew I wanted to play collegiate volleyball and I am positive that I can reach this goal. I am complete volleyball gym rat and I live, eat and breath the sport. I am the first player on the team to get to practice and im always the player to take down the net. Volleyball does not define me but it is what drives me.
