I am pretty most people here know or know of Cody Kessel as the Princeton volleyball player. Some others will know him as the progeny of one John Kessel.
Cody has been player professionally in Germany the last few years and was on the USA Men's team in 2022 taking the silver medal in the 2022 Volleyball Nations League and played in the 2022 World Championships.
On top of all that, he found time to write a book.
Here is the landing page for the book. codykessel11.gumroad.com/l/codykessel11
The man has been prolific, here is a free download of his thesis for Princeton titled : "How an American Gentle Man's Game Became a Worldwide Power Sport: A History of Volleyball 1895-1947" for free download to all: codykessel11.gumroad.com/l/volleyballhistory .
11% of all proceeds from the book will be donated to: Let's Keep the Ball Flying, a volleyball charity focused on providing equal access to the power of volleyball worldwide.
An additional 11% of all the proceeds will go to First Point Volleyball Foundation so that boys in the United States have more access to volleyball.
And also a couple of his blog pieces. How to Jump Higher and So You Want to Go Play Professional Volleyball?
Cody is very erudite and writes very well. His writing is very approachable and are good reads.
Just thought you all might be interested.
I don't get a dime, just so you know.
