So sorry to hear this. Was so much fun to watch her play for the Beach. She was carrying her team at times. Condolences to her family

So sad. Phenomenal athlete. Lots of love from Volleytalk in her playing days.
11/2012: “If there is a better all around player in the country then Janisa Johnson, from Long Beach State lets discuss it. I am not saying she is the best at any one position, but as an all around volleyball player she is fantastic.
Certainly one of the most dynamic and athletic players in the country and she is only 5' 8" tall. Janisa does it all, passes, digs, scores, blocks and serves.
Her outstanding athletic ability is showcased in all facets of volleyball.
She jumps as high as anyone in the country, able to score from any position in the front row. Her ability to kill out of the back row is second to no none. She digs balls from every direction and passes as well as anyone. She is a joy to watch!
Karch was extremely impressed watching her play in person.
Janisa brings talent few girls have and is an extremely rare talent of being able to play more than one position on any given night.
IMO would be a strong candidate for libero on the USA team.”

I am so heartbroken, such a joy to watch her play indoor and on the beach. Plus she was a great person. RIP Janisa

man she could jump out of the gym, AVCA Player of the Week back in 2011 in indoor and then she and Tyler Jackson, JJ & TJ, were speed demons on the Sand
dominant as a pair, they were critical to Beach's National Championship. truly an early pioneer standout for the sport of Sand/Beach Volleyball. undefeated one year even.

So sad. She was a terrific athlete, and so warm and friendly. She will be missed, but her spirit remains.

This is so sad. Janisa Johnson is such a well loved player here in the Philippines.
