About Jordyn Hamlin
Coach's Evaluation
High School Coach Evaluation:
"As the head Varsity Volleyball Coach at Southern Regional High School, I have had the privilege of Coaching Jordyn Hamlin for the past 3 seasons. Jordan has also either attended many volleyball camps that I run or has served as part of my staff for numerous camps for younger players. My experience of having Jordyn as a player at Southern and as an instructor for our camps have caused me to view Jordyn as incredible volleyball player and also a positive role model for her teammates and for younger participants at camp.
Last season as a Junior earned 1st Team All State Honors in New Jersey. This well-deserved accomplishment begins to tell the story of how good she is on the volleyball court. In my 23 years of coaching high school volleyball in New Jersey, Jordyn is one of the most talented players that I have seen play at the high school level. Her skill level begins with her athleticism. Her jumping ability has made her one of the top outside hitters in the state. She hammered home 283 kills in 2022 and is on her way to becoming Southern Regional's career kill leader. Along with her outstanding vertical leap is an incredible arm swing which allows her to power the ball down and through an opponent's defense.
As our number one option on offense, Jordyn also takes on a huge role as one of our best passers in service receive. Jordyn's athleticism allows her to get low and move quickly and smoothly into position to handle even the most difficult of serves. That same athleticism makes Jordyn one of the best defensive players that I have ever coached. Her ability read the opposition and react to an opponent's shot is remarkable. In addition to all of the skills already mentioned, Jordyn is an effective server as well. She utilizes a tough jump float serve with precision and accuracy.
Jordyn's physical volleyball skill set is one that any coach would desire. However, as I have experienced her mental toughness and her positive attitude might be her finest qualities. Jordyn's positive demeanor on and off the court has helped foster great team chemistry for our teams at Southern. Always lifting up her teammates after each and every play is one of her hallmarks. Her leadership is evident in the gym whether it be a game or a practice day. She is the hardest worker in the gym every single day. Jordyn's continued growth as a playerstems from her work ethic and her enthusiasm. I have never had to tell Jordyn taht she needs to work harder.
I hope this evaluation/recommendation not only sheds a light on Jordyn's ability as a volleyball player, but also is an indication of who Jordyn is as a person. Without question, I am giving her the highest of praise and recommendation for anyone considering Jordyn to a be a part of their collegiate volleyball program."
