There’s a rumor in Brazil circulating that FIVB is thinking of allowing teams to be able to bring 14 players in the OG (but still 12 for matches) It could be nothing… but that would be interesting this change needs to happen eventually tbh. Hopefully it does |

Bringing Hentz seems obvious...
but for the 14th... would it be for another OH or a 3rd setter?
given the team and then Tokyo... I have to imagine a 3rd setter is more likely

I have to imagine a 3rd setter is more likely *If Poulter returns to a high enough level. Otherwise it's the two setters we had this summer.. and thus you'd think that spot would go to a pin. It's real sad to think a few great pin hitters will be left off the roster come summer  |

It's real sad to think a few great pin hitters will be left off the roster come summer i think this is exactly right. evans adds nothing. if both carlini and hancock somehow got injured in the olympic games, evans isnt gonna drag us to a medal. but guaranteeing someone like plummer on the roster could. if she isnt starting, her as a front row sub for larson or KRook at point could save us. plus, plummer and larson can set right?  |

I'd put Larson as my number 2 setter right now. |

Regla is not happy.
Original
Hola a todos los amigos y conocidos. Trataré de ser breve pero no sé si podré lograrlo, será difícil.
Quiero expresar mi agradecimiento a todos los que me han contactado preocupados, preguntando que cómo me sentía, que cómo estaba mi madre o que si me había ido ya para Rusia. Parece que esa fueron las excusas que se les dio a las personas que preguntaron por mi allá en Chile cuando no me vieron en los juegos Panamericanos. Eso no es verdad, nada de eso es así. Yo no sé a cuantas personas se le habrá dicho eso, por eso tengo que decir públicamente la verdad.
Yo me senté con el presidente la Federación Cubana de Voleibol y le dije que no iba a participar en los Juegos Panamericanos, y que aunque si iba a continuar trabajando en la escuela, ya no trabajaría más con el equipo nacional. Tomé esa decisión cuando regresamos de los torneos de República Dominicana y Canadá. A las personas que preguntaron se les tenía que haber dicho la verdad. Porqué no fue así? No voy a permitir ningún tipo de mentiras ni de escondedera con respecto a mi persona porque yo hablo clarito. Si algo me caracteriza, y las personas que me conocen lo saben bien, es que siempre voy de frente me cueste lo que me cueste y eso me ha costado mucho, muchísimo. No importa. No me gusta la polémica por las redes, yo toco las puertas, las que sean necesarias, cualquiera, así sea la más alta en la punta de la loma, digo lo que tenga que decir alto y claro, sin misterio y mirando a los ojos, así es mejor. Mis redes son para reír y aprender, pero repito como no sé a cuantas personas se le dijo algo que no es, tengo que aclararlo aquí.
Llevo 15 años trabajando en la Escuela Nacional de Voleibol. Llegué con la esperanza después de los Juegos Olímpicos del 2008 de aportar experiencias aprendidas. Todo el mundo sabe que cuando uno se retira y comienza como entrenador@ tiene que ir dejando su mentalidad de atleta y asumir poco a poco su nueva responsabilidad, eso es cierto.
Pero eso fue hace ya unos años.
Por mucho tiempo he visto como agoniza el voley femenino desde adentro. Equivocaciones, malas decisiones, capricho, orgullo, mediocridades, incapacidad, falta de compromiso, la falta de disciplina que conlleva a malos resultados, la infladera, la mentira, los satélites, los especialistas que llegaron a acabar con la escuela cubana de voleibol, los estudiosos, los tira piedras, ME TIENEN CABR@NA HACE RATO, y uno ahí mirando toda la mierda correr a cántaros, con el alma rota, viendo día a día cómo personas que no tuvieron nada que ver con nuestra historia, que es muy grande, más grande que nosotras mismas, la arrollan, le pasan por arriba a lo que un día fue, sin misericordia.
Nosotras tenemos parte de de culpa, digo solo parte porque entiendo el sentimiento de impotencia, desaliento, decepción de nunca haber sido tomadas en cuenta para nada, ni en nuestro deporte ni en el INDER. Eugenio siempre dijo que cuando dejáramos de ganar nadie se acordaría de nosotras. Tuvo razón. Por eso cuando en algún momento se hizo una especie de convocatoria nadie asistió, ya no querían saber nada más por tanto maltrato. Hay puestos ocupados en la escuela por las que no se ha hecho ninguna. Puestos ocupados por satélites. Yo sé que si alguien se hubiera sentado, independientemente de los sentimientos de cada cual que son todos dolorosos, y las hubiera convocado de verdad a una reunión seria y se les hubiera pedido ayuda de verdad y sin orgullo, ellas estuvieran ahí al pie de cañón y aquí en la caliente. No todas hubieran sido entrenadoras, para eso hace falta vocación, pero sí trabajando en otras funciones igual de importantes, referentes a la disciplina y sembrando valores que tanta falta que nos hace. Ejemplo de eso tenemos a la difunta Chela, esposa de Eugenio y directora técnica, de la escuela cubana, femenino y masculino, que sin ser entrenadora era lo máximo y me atrevo a decir que en ocasiones hasta por encima de él mismo.
Me pongo a ver partidos viejos y a veces lloro por mis compañeras y por mi. Cuando las miro a cada una recuerdo sus lesiones, las lágrimas derramadas por regaños, por cansancio, por dolores y apretar los dientes y seguir. Los sacrificios por años, los entrenamientos diarios entre 6 y 8 horas diarias, la sangre en el tabloncillo por los raspones, las operaciones. Entregando todo, pero todo día a día por tanto tiempo, no se es tres veces campeonas olímpicas y 3 mundiales entre otras cosas de otra manera. Nuestras fajazones y reconciliaciones a la hora de jugar, nuestra hermandad imperfecta y dura, porque sé que aunque no tenga la mejor relación con alguna, a la hora necesite ahí va a estar sin condiciones, fuimos un equipo de locas luchadoras, pero son mis locas por siempre. Lloro en silencio por tanta incomprensión y también por tanto descaro, porque se ha escogido la manera más fácil, (ellas no quieren apoyar) y no tratar de hablarles con el corazón en la mano, eso no ha existido por parte de nadie nunca.
En cuanto a mi, yo si estoy ahí. 2da 3ra entrenadora no alcanza, puedes sugerir pero hasta ahí por un problema de ética profesional. Me he visto como la entrenadora está ahí para imponer un poco de disciplina, hasta donde se le permita, por supuesto y basta. Me niego a seguir así, me niego a ser el capataz del voleibol, a ser la mala, mientras otros por detrás pasan la mano e intentan quitarte la fuerza moral para ser los buenos de la película. Me niego a que mi nombre ganado a pulso se siga arrastrando por la mierda sin tener voz ni voto prácticamente. ME NIEGO.
Me queda mucho por decir, pero por ahora basta. Ando a caballo y con el hacha en la mano, no machete. ESTOY MUY CABR@NA Y AVERGONZADA, y si alguien se atreve a llamarme para llamarme la atención más le vale tener buenos argumentos para convencerme de lo contrario. La segunda vez que hablé de esto será sin misericordia.
Cuba se merece mucho respeto por parte de nosotros, eso siempre nos enseñaron nuestros entrenadores. Jugamos por Cuba en aquellos años y no por dinero, aquí ganábamos 50 pesos cubanos mensual y dos dólares diarios cuando salíamos fuera, pero cuando salíamos a la cancha nos ripiábamos con cualquiera, a poner el nombre de nuestro país allá arriba en la estratosfera. Lo único que tenía que decir Eugenio era que el pueblo nos estaba mirando.

Hello to all friends and acquaintances. I will try to be brief but I don't know if I can do it, it will be difficult.
I want to express my gratitude to everyone who has contacted me out of concern, asking how I was feeling, how my mother was doing or whether I had already left for Russia. It seems that those were the excuses given to the people who asked about me back in Chile when they didn't see me at the Pan American games. That's not true, none of that is true. I don't know how many people have been told that, that's why I have to publicly tell the truth.
I sat down with the president of the Cuban Volleyball Federation and told him that I was not going to participate in the Pan American Games, and that although I was going to continue working at the school, I would no longer work with the national team. I made that decision when we returned from the tournaments in the Dominican Republic and Canada. The people who asked should have been told the truth. Why wasn't it like that? I am not going to allow any type of lies or hiding regarding myself because I speak clearly. If something characterizes me, and the people who know me know it well, it is that I always go ahead no matter what it costs me and that has cost me a lot, a lot. It doesn't matter. I don't like controversy on the internet, I knock on doors, whatever is necessary, anyone, even if it is the highest at the top of the hill, I say what I have to say loud and clear, without mystery and looking into the eyes , It's better this way. My networks are for laughing and learning, but I repeat, since I don't know how many people were told something that is not, I have to clarify it here.
I have been working at the National Volleyball School for 15 years. I arrived with the hope after the 2008 Olympic Games to contribute learned experiences. Everyone knows that when you retire and start as a coach you have to leave your athlete mentality and gradually assume your new responsibility, that is true.
But that was a few years ago.
For a long time I have seen how women's volleyball is dying from within. Mistakes, bad decisions, caprice, pride, mediocrities, inability, lack of commitment, lack of discipline that leads to bad results, inflation, lies, satellites, specialists who came to put an end to the Cuban volleyball school, scholars, they throw stones, THEY HAD ME GODDAMN FOR A LONG TIME, and one there watching all the %*$# pouring out, with a broken soul, seeing day by day how people who had nothing to do with our history, which is very great , bigger than ourselves, they overwhelm it, they pass over what once was, without mercy.
We are partly to blame, I only say partly because I understand the feeling of helplessness, discouragement, disappointment of never having been taken into account for anything, neither in our sport nor in INDER. Eugenio always said that when we stopped winning no one would remember us. He was right. That's why when at some point a kind of call was made, no one attended, they no longer wanted to know anything more because of so much abuse. There are positions filled in the school for which none have been filled. Positions occupied by satellites. I know that if someone had sat down, regardless of everyone's feelings, which are all painful, and had really called them to a serious meeting and asked them for help truly and without pride, they would be there at the foot of the cannon. and here in the hot one. Not all of them would have been coaches, that requires a vocation, but working in other equally important functions, related to discipline and sowing values that we so need. An example of this is the late Chela, Eugenio's wife and technical director of the Cuban school, both male and female, who without being a coach was the best and, I dare say, sometimes even above himself.
I start watching old games and sometimes I cry for my teammates and myself. When I look at each one I remember her injuries, the tears shed due to scolding, tiredness, pain and gritting my teeth and continuing. The sacrifices for years, the daily training between 6 and 8 hours a day, the blood on the court from scrapes, the operations. Giving everything, but everything day by day for so long, you can't become three-time Olympic champions and three-time world champions, among other things, in any other way. Our quarrels and reconciliations at play time, our imperfect and tough brotherhood, because I know that even if I don't have the best relationship with someone, when I need it, they will be there without conditions, we were a team of crazy fighters, but they are my crazy ones. forever. I cry in silence for so much incomprehension and also for so much impudence, because the easiest way has been chosen, (they do not want to support) and not try to speak to them with my heart in my hand, that has never existed on the part of anyone.
As for me, I am there. 2nd 3rd coach is not enough, you can suggest but that's it because of a problem of professional ethics. I have seen how the coach is there to impose a little discipline, as far as she is allowed, of course, and that is enough. I refuse to continue like this, I refuse to be the foreman of volleyball, to be the bad guy, while others behind you pass their hand and try to take away your moral strength to be the good guys in the movie. I refuse to let my hard-earned name continue to be dragged through %*$# without practically having a say. I REFUSE.
I have a lot left to say, but that's enough for now. I ride a horse and with an ax in my hand, not a machete. I AM VERY CABR@NA AND EMBARRASSED, and if someone dares to call me to get my attention, they better have good arguments to convince me otherwise. The second time I talk about this it will be without mercy.
Cuba deserves a lot of respect from us, that's what our coaches always taught us. We played for Cuba in those years and not for money, here we earned 50 Cuban pesos a month and two dollars a day when we went outside, but when we went out on the field we would fight with anyone, to put the name of our country up there in the stratosphere. The only thing Eugenio had to say was that the people were watching us.

I saw this, too! These swings look amazing, especially that insane sharp angle she had. Notably, China is a lower-tier league. Half of these clips are one-on-one (though with the angles she's hitting they'd carve up any well-formed block anyway). |

@madden55 is Milenkovic done? I see that she's playing Ukraine (which is tantamount to retirement).

Which is inconsistency from the offensive OH and maja being reluctant to set whoever that was. Maja will totally use Brankica and if she’s swinging like that…. Maja/Boskovic Mihajlovic/Busa Stevanovic/Aleksic Jegdic Nobody is beating us if Brankica plays well |
