Michael Blauschild

Michael has been in Gotham for more than 5 years.

Q: Please describe your prior Gotham volunteer and/or leadership experience, if any.

A: I was an active member of Gotham from 2012-19 (I actually began my first season in Power “F”, the predecessor to the Power Play program). I have not served in any elected positions, but have made myself available for volunteering at tournaments and Gotham community events.

Q: Why are you interested in a Gotham Leadership position?

A: During my 4-year hiatus from Gotham, I realized how much I missed and appreciated the league! I want to give back and am confident that my prior experience in the Power program will give me the unique ability to address players’ unmet needs and help have class run as smoothly as possible.

Q: What do you wish to accomplish if elected?

A:  I hope to serve as a strong advocate on behalf of players who wish to bring issues or concerns with the program to the attention of the league. My ultimate goal is ensuring that in some small way, my contributions help the Power Play program continue to grow and improve in the future.

Q: How do you promote community through the sport of volleyball and embody the spirt of Gotham? 

A: Volleyball is the quintessential team sport, and I am a big believer in open, honest and clear communication both on and off the court. I believe that effective communication is a lifelong learning process and I want to ensure that we all learn and grow together through this class!
