This book tells the inspiring story of the 1984 U.S. men's Olympic volleyball team. After many years playing as underdogs, a maverick coach would take over and push the players to their physical and emotional limits. Their journey to the Olympics reveals the value of teamwork, never giving up, and trusting in an innovative style of leadership.
