She could have been an Olympian but her "education before Volleyball" mindset I think ruined that. She did good, no question, but she could have been Great. She also decided to play for Mexican National team, and that means no Olympic metals. For me, she should have played for the USA.
Beautiful, graceful, moves like a leopard, hits as hard as most men, and picks open spots on floor. I think she is the best of the best. 3X All American. I love to watch her.
Over the Net that's so nice to know. I'm glad. She's full time in the national team mexico and in professional volleyball in europe right? Thanks for uploading the vids, i have u on my notifs
The problem with Bricio is when she says "education before volleyball" it CAN interfere with her being able to be a better player. Athletes NEED to play whatever sport they play in school, specially in college, as if they were all, all players, trying to be in the Olympics. But many times, unfortunately, they don't, no matter how good they may appear for us. There is a lot of overly pride, an arrogance, more so in many Latinos than any other race/ethnicity/etc., where saying "education" is a way for them saying "can we be your friends" to other colleagues, students, etc. It just is. Samantha could have been Greatness, an Olympian, but she and her parents chose not to. She did alright for what it's worth.
