\n Jordan Larson finds a much-needed safe haven the moment she walks into the office of longtime U.S. volleyball coach Karch Kiraly.She can take a deep breath and know she will have his support through any life challenge.Larson never expected to be wearing a volleyball uniform at age 37. She retired after leading the Americans to a long-awaited gold medal at the Tokyo Games. Yet after a divorce and some serious soul-searching, Larson finds herself back with the national team and headed to a fourth Olympics.Kiraly is a key reason. Larson realizes she wouldn\u2019t be on this path without him after both started with the women\u2019s team in 2009.\u201cKarch and I have been on this journey now together. … He\u2019s known my whole professional career and all the stuff that\u2019s come between,\u201d she said. \u201cI think there\u2019s obviously more that goes into coaching \u2014 friend, mentor, he\u2019s just the epitome of everything.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kiraly has lifted her up through two divorces, and following the death of her mother, Kae, to breast cancer 15 years ago.Larson credits Kiraly for having \u201can impact without judgment.\u201d\u201cLife gets hard and he\u2019s just been there and consistent for me,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Kiraly, a decorated beach and indoor Olympian himself, helped guide Larson and the Americans to a silver medal at the 2012 London Games. They captured bronze in Rio de Janeiro four years later with him as head coach, and then won that elusive first gold in Tokyo.<\/p>\n
Larson then walked away, ready to move on from a sensational volleyball career as an Olympic champion.Married again and eager to start a family, her sights were set on beginning her new life. No more traveling the world for an international season before returning home to play domestically. Coaching had become a nice option, and Larson embraced the idea of mentoring the next generation of American players.Until that plan all fell apart.<\/p>\n
\u201cI had gotten married right after the Tokyo Olympic Games and I was living in my dream, ready to step away, ready to start a family, and life happens,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019m away a lot so I think it just gets hard at times. I learned some things and needed to step away and figure out what I really wanted to do.\u201dThe volleyball court slowly coaxed her back. Kiraly welcomed her with open arms, as he always has.Larson refers to it as \u201cfinding blessings\u201d during the toughest times.\u201cBeing around the girls really solidified that this is where I\u2019m supposed to be and every day since then it\u2019s just been even more validated in that,\u201d she said. \u201cThanks to Karch for even having the door open.\u201dKiraly is thrilled to have one of the world\u2019s best outside hitters wearing a United States uniform once more.\u201cJordan retired from our USA team after the Tokyo \u201921 Olympics so she was not with us for the \u201922 season,\u201d said Kiraly, himself a three-time Olympic champion with one of those gold medals coming in beach volleyball. \u201cSo she thought her life was taking her in one direction that might lead to marriage, family and coaching.\u201cBut her life took a turn and she got a little back into volleyball, found that she was loving it, her body was feeling much better than she thought it would and that she was missing and loving the game far more than she thought she might.\u201d<\/p>\n
Larson spent part of 2022 at Texas helping with the volleyball program in a volunteer capacity before returning last year to her alma mater, Nebraska, as an assistant coach.Coaching has provided a new perspective for Larson, who cherishes having traveled the world playing her sport but realizes how much Kiraly and the U.S. count on the continuity of college volleyball to build a foundation.\u201cYou enter back in and you have a different outlook and now I see the national team and where our athletes get to go next after college and how it took us 60 years to win a gold medal. It shouldn\u2019t take that long,\u201d she said. \u201cI now see, how can we make all of our athletes at all of the universities thrive?\u201dKiraly understands the value of Larson learning the coaching side and has been flexible with her schedule. She was one of the two starting outside hitters for the Americans during qualifying in Poland last September.<\/p>\n
Playing in her fourth Olympics, Larson trails Danielle Scott\u2019s record of five appearances \u2014 from 1996 to 2012. And Kerri Walsh Jennings played for one U.S. Olympic indoor team and then reached four Olympics on the beach side, winning a total of three gold medals.\u201cTo my mind, Jordan is the best who\u2019s ever played for the USA women\u2019s team, if I were to have to single that out to one person, and that\u2019s really hard to do because there have been so many accomplished people,\u201d Kiraly said. \u201cBut she\u2019s done it at such a high level for so long. Really impressive.\u201dWhatever happens next, Larson will walk away the next time knowing the legacy she leaves and what this sport has given her.<\/p>\n
\u201cI look at these girls in college that I\u2019m now coaching and I\u2019m like, \u2018I was once that\u2019 and I just dreamed of being an Olympian one time,\u201d she said. \u201cI thought I was going to be done in Tokyo and really felt I was in a good place, and I still feel like I\u2019m in a really good place. If something happens and I have to step away, I know what I\u2019ve done in this sport and I can walk away with my head held high knowing that I\u2019ve given everything, so I\u2019m grateful for that.\u201d___AP Olympics: https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/2024-paris-olympic-games<\/p>\n
