This week in volleyball, senior\u00a0Jasmine Johnson<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0(Staunton, Va.\/Robert E. Lee) made her mark in the record books. She surpassed the 2,000 career assists mark, and is now second in Eastern Mennonite University history with 2,019 assists.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt feels absolutely incredible!\u201d Jasmine said of her accomplishment. \u201cI have been blessed to have been able to play with the teammates I have and been honored to have been coached by some outstanding people. I could not have reached this point in my career without my team and coaches, and it is an honor to be able to be in the EMU record book.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jasmine\u2019s years at school have been productive – and busy. She played two sports, volleyball and softball, her first two years at EMU, after playing three sports while she was in high school.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am a very competitive and dedicated teammate, meaning that if I didn’t get my work done in the classroom, I wasn’t able to play the sport I love,\u201d Jasmine commented. \u201cI definitely learned to manage my time and do what I needed to do so that I was able to be on the court or field helping my team be successful.\u201d<\/p>\n

Over the summer, Jasmine did all she could so she could come into her senior season in the best possible shape.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wanted this to be my best season yet, physically and mentally,\u201d she explained. \u201cOver the summer, I lost 35 pounds in order to help be in the best physical shape I could be for my senior season…Mentally, I knew nothing could stop me from playing this year and helping my team be successful.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jasmine\u2019s coach, Carrie Bert, notices and appreciates her dedication to progress.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe came in with the ability to play as a freshman, but has grown athletically and as a leader during that time,\u201d said Coach Bert. \u201cI’ve never coached someone with such an innate understanding of the game. \u00a0She is passionate and competitive, pushing her teammates and encouraging them both vocally and in how she plays. \u00a0Her teammates trust, respect, and admire her, and that’s what I’d hope of any senior…I\u2019m not sure what we\u2019ll do without her.\u201d<\/p>\n

Perhaps they won\u2019t have do without her, however. Jasmine is majoring in psychology and currently doing an internship with a school counselor.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am loving it!\u201d Jasmine said. \u201cSo, I am hoping to pursue a career with a counseling degree. My hope for after graduation is to be able to come back to EMU as a grad assistant and be able to help volleyball while getting my masters in the counseling program – wishful thinking!\u201d<\/p>\n

In her free time Jasmine likes to\u2026.well\u2026 \u201cWhat is free time to a student athlete?\u201d Jasmine said, laughing. \u201cBut I love to hang out with my friends, watch Netflix and movies, and listen to music when I have those free moments.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jasmine is excited to see what her team can accomplish this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy overall goal for this season is for us to make it to the ODAC Tournament. We have not been since I have been here, and I want it so so so bad!\u201d<\/p>\n

And the volleyball season is far from over, so stay tuned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
