The true story of how a group of talented volleyball players
learned to put their egos aside, became a team, and changed the
sport of volleyball forever. In the early 1980s, a golden
generation of volleyball players joined the U.S. men's national
team. With the Olympics coming to Los Angeles in 1984, the pressure
was on to build a winning program around these exceptional
athletes. But could a group of individuals put aside their egos and
play as a true team to achieve Olympic gold in their home country?
In If Gold Is Our Destiny: How a Team of Mavericks Came Together
for Olympic Glory, Sean P. Murray shares the incredible story of
how a group of free-spirited players and their demanding coach
captured the heart of a nation and became one of the greatest
indoor volleyball teams of all time. As the team struggled leading
up to the Olympics, head coach Doug Beal mandated a highly
controversial three-week Outward Bound hike across one hundred
miles in the Canyonlands and Abajo Mountains in Utah. Murray
details all the internal strife and heartwarming triumphs from this
unprecedented trip, as players and coaches learned to cooperate and
trust one another. He reveals how the team used this newfound trust
to implement an innovative approach to volleyball that changed not
only their success on the court but the sport itself on a global
scale. Featuring original interviews with players, coaches, and
staff, along with a foreword by three-time gold medal champion
Karch Kiraly, If Gold Is Our Destiny delivers an inside look at
what it takes for a group of talented individuals to overcome their
differences, build a culture of excellence, and become the best in
the world.
