Kiraly sees potential and is inspired by USA Tryout

Posted by Playr

Lausanne, Switzerland, March 6, 2018 - As USA's women embark this year on the defence of their FIVB Volleyball World Championship title and their appearance in the inaugural FIVB Volleyball Nations League, the National Team Tryout set the wheels in motion for what promises to be another great season.

Headed by USA National Team coach Karch Kiraly, the Tryout evaluated 228 athletes, all with the common goal of seeing where they fit into the national team pipeline, this past weekend at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs.

The legendary Karch Kiraly, the only player to have won Olympic gold medals in both indoor and beach volleyball and who led USA as coach to their triumph at the 2014 FIVB World Championship, saw a lot of possibilities.

"I think we saw lots of potential," he said. "The big thing is potential now, and how can each of these individuals maximize their development and accelerate their learning. There are clearly people here at this tryout who have serious USA potential. It doesn't mean it is guarantee though. They have to keep working at it and finding things they can improve."
