Thanks to Coach Hanson and Coach Mark for continuing the tradition of paying it forward to the next generation. Along with current and former Team Canada members, TJ Sanders, Bryan Duquette, and Paul Duerden, FCVC has trained several volleyball stars and looks forward to continuing that tradition, as the longest-running and most-respected youth volleyball club in London. The coaching Mark received at OSU led to a stint with Team Canada, and FCVC is lucky to have the 6'5' former setter guiding the next generation of volleyball talent. I’m looking forward to continued contact with the coaches and I’m sure we will see them again soon. It didn’t take much convincing and Coach Hanson attended practice for our 16U, 17U and 18U boys and was very impressed with the level of play. I reached out to Coach Hanson to invite him to London on his way to his team's match against McMaster, to see some top local volleyball talent. The past two seasons have been the most successful in the program's history, as Ohio State has repeated as NCAA National Champions. My experience as a student athlete at OSU was nothing short of amazing, and I will treasure the relationships I made for the rest of my life. After a couple of meetings with the coaches, both in Columbus and here in London, I committed to The Ohio State University for enrollment in fall 2000. Oregon took a back-and-forth first set that saw 16 ties and eight lead changes by a 28-26 margin. Pete has been the Head Coach at Ohio State for the past 33 seasons, and Coach Tim has been there for 27 seasons. 15 Ohio State Buckeyes (3-4) wrapped up play at the Big Ten/Pac-12 Challenge with a hard-fought four-set loss (26-28, 27-25, 20-25, 19-25) against No. I first met Pete Hanson and his assistant Tim Embaugh, in the fall of 1998 when my college recruiting process began.
