Thanks for the link.
Here are Hugh's comments that stood out to me
- Hugh likes that the Olympic tournament is tough. "There are no gimmes. In some ways I like that"
- USA has not played their best volleyball yet. They are aiming to peak in the next two weeks.
- The goal is GOLD. “Why come if you want to come in fifth?"
- Hugh calls Logan Tom "a wonderful volleyball player, with the best volleyball IQ I have ever coached" and talks about her leadership and positive influence on the younger players.
- Hugh comments on Pool B:
“If you look at our pool, we start with Korea, who has really come on the last couple years. They have a couple players who are absolutely world class at their position. Then we go on to Brazil, and that is always a battle. Then you have China, who again is somewhat resurgent in the last two years. Following China we have Serbia, the bronze medalist at last year’s World Grand Prix and European champion. We close out with Turkey, who qualified by being pretty dominant at their Olympic qualifier. So, for us, it is tough to get out of this pool. All of sudden, then you are looking at Italy, Russia and Japan and a lot of other teams on the other side who can cause some problems."
