Josiah Buss '11 Recruiting Profile

Volleyball has been a very big part of my life since I started playing in 7th grade. All year round I look for ways to improve my game and my attributes on the court to be a better player, leader and example. I am 6' 0" and weigh 168 pounds. One very important accomplishment to me was my club team, Pace Bootleggers, winning the East Coast tournament in Virginia and taking 14th at Nationals in Austin Texas this past summer. Also just recently I broke my record for kills in a game with 35 kills in a single match. I have been the captain of the varsity team in my school since my sophomore when I joined the varsity team. I always look for how I can push myself to go to the next level. I am very open to advice and tips on how I can improve and I am very teachable. The ability to play volleyball in college has been the main thing that I am looking for in a school, with being unsure about my major at the moment. Volleyball is my passion and if that could be a major I would be all over it. My dream is to one day coach volleyball. I am looking for a school fairly close to home(2-4 Hours)that is a fairly small school, but i am willing to look at schools a little farther away if I feel they are the right place for me. My goal in college is to make an impact on the team I am playing with. Whether that is being able to start and being a leader on the court or being able to push the rest of the team in practice to improve and push myself to improve even if that means not playing much as a freshman and having to earn my starting spot. Volleyball is a huge passion of mine and I really hope that i will get the chance to play in college and make a difference to the team that I go to.
