Joslin Sadler

I started playing volleyball during the summer of 2021 after playing competitive USTA tennis from the age of 7.

I have been told that my tennis experience translated well to the Libero position as my anticipation, footwork, and ability to play under pressure helped immensely with my transition to volleyball. I am an enthusiastic student of the game and love learning new aspects of it.

I also love playing as an integral part of a team and strive to encourage and help my teammates and coaches whenever I can.

Apart from playing volleyball, I work as an assistant coach for the Northgate High School Volleyball Workshops and also offer my assistance at my home club whenever possible. In my free time, I volunteer at a local urban farm to help supply fresh vegetables to communities in need.

Q&A

What are some of your hobbies?

Gardening, Graphic Design, Art. I also coach the Vibe 12 Tsunami Juniors.

What are three things that people don't know about you?

I enjoy taking care of plants, I am fascinated by forensic psychology, and I used to compete in USTA tennis tournaments.

Is there a family member you look up to the most? Who is it? Why?

My grandmother came from a provincial life in the Philippines and immigrated to California on her own with barely enough money to start a new life. Through her life experiences, she would encourage me to work hard and strive to do my best in any situation.

What motivates you off the field or outside of your sport?

Caring for plants and animals is very rewarding for me, especially after dedicating time, effort, and patience to help them thrive and stay healthy. Sometimes, I volunteer at a local nonprofit farm with my family, where we work to provide organic and sustainable vegetables to families in need. I find it fulfilling to apply my interest in plants to support a great social cause.
