The Big Shooter, King of the Beach, John May joins the show! As a player John lead the York Lions to 3 OUA Championships, and was a 2x 1st Team All Star. Fun fact, May would play one season at BYU in the NCAA. Later on John stopped playing to create the Labatt Tour that would help Canada compete at the highest level on the FIVB Tour. John would go on to coach Mark Heese and John Child at the 2004 Olympics where the team finished 5th. John would make another appearance at the Olympics, this time coaching Jamie Broder and Kristina Valjas/May at the 2016 games. John was also with the squad when Broder/Valjas captured Canada's first ever FIVB Gold Medal on the women's side! Another first for Canada was when Sam Schachter and Garrett May won our first Youth World Championships where John was a part of the coaching staff.
No stranger to the indoor game, early on in his coaching career John lead the U of Toronto Women's Team to their first OUA Championship. More recently John coached the York Lions Women's program. John was also the man behind Crush, one of, it not the most dominate club team to ever play in Canada.
John has put a lot of time into our sport and had a lot of influence on several levels of volleyball. We really appreciate him coming on the show and hope you enjoy this episode!
