A History of the 1984 USA Volleyball Team

Doug Beal tells us what it was like to be the coach (or a member) of the 1984 team. He is quite candid concerning his dislike of Sinjin Smith and the other "beach players", and explains why he made the decisions he did. This is NOT an instructional book; you won't find out how to spike better from this. You will, however, be amazed at some of the things you learn about Karch Kiraly, Steve Timmons, and the rest of the players of the first USA volleyball team to win the Gold Medal.
