I played varsity volleyball in high school, college, and business school.
I was a teenager in the 1980s when Karch Kiraly led the USA to two Olympic Gold Medals.
This book describes their improbable path to victory.

You've heard of the Miracle on Ice when the USA beat the USSR in ice hockey.

This triumph is a similar rag-to-riches story where the American underdog defeats the Soviet goliath.

I had no idea, for example, that the 1984 Olympic team went on a 3-week Outward Bound Wilderness Adventure that may have been instrumental in building cohesion in a fractured team.
Ironically, Karch was the only team player who skipped that bonding exercise.
He had to do UCLA school work or else delay his graduation.

It's a gripping story for any volleyball fan.

I would think that a non-volleyball person would enjoy if s/he enjoys sports.
