Recently, he took Canada national team from group 2 to the top 10 of group 1 and made an impressive Olympic tournmanent in Rio 2016. As a player, Glenn is a former international as outside hitter for the Canada men's national volleyball team from 1981-1986. Father of great players like Nick and Christopher Hoag, Glenn advocates that the strategy to promote our sport is a strong world leadership that syncs with clubs and national teams. Glenn also believes volleyball is the ultimate team sport. Strong is the idea that, as a player, he needed other to succeed. Traveling world wide as a top athlete and coach, he learned perspective. There is always someone or something better. There is always someone or something worst. A team with many egos tends to fall, a team without egos tend to rise. He talks about a great book that is friend, the portuguese coach Carlos Prata (the next post here, in ThinkVolleyball, early 2017), gave him, about All Blacks. He also has a curious and "out of the box" view about the beauty of the game (opposites reveiving, setter striking, to stop boring games of serve and error). We learn a lot "seeing" Glenn Hoag thinking volleyball.
