5.0 out of 5 stars
An in-depth look at the vollyball legend,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Sand Man: An Autobiography (Hardcover)
When most people tune in to watch the AVP, they often notice one thing - some guy out there is wearing a pink hat. The man underneath that hat is, undoubtedly, the greatest volleball player to ever step on the court (or the sand). This is the life story of Karch Kiraly and his accomplishments in life as well as on the court. Always a gentlemenly competitor, we get to see the few flare-ups and frustrations along with the glory of his storied career. Starting from birth and ending with last season's (1998) success with Adam Johnson, this book chronicles Karch's travels, his loves, the people he admires that came before, and his devotion to his children. A must-read for anyone who enjoys the sport and the man who has helped bring it to new heights.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A must-read for volleyball fans!!,
By JIMSERATT@HOTMAIL.COM (Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Sand Man: An Autobiography (Hardcover)
This book is a must read for volleyball fans as well as anyone who seeks insight into the mind of a world class person. Karch Kiraly is arguably the greatest volleyball player of all time but he prides himself on being much more than that; he is truly a first class husband, father, and role model. Kiraly, like all Olympic gold medalists, has multitudes of God-given athletic ability, but he has other attributes that many other athletes do not - an unparalled work ethic and strong sense of priorities. The book chronicles his life from early times with family to his present pro beach volleyball competitions. Through all of his trials and triumphs, Kiraly has exhibited courage, class, and honor. Thank you Karch for being someone that I will always look up to!

Read this book!,

This review is from: The Sand Man: An Autobiography (Hardcover)
If you are at all a volleyball person, this book is required reading. It's that simple. Karch was called the best indoor player in the world and proved himself the best beach player as well. What's better than hearing the story of the greatest player the sport has yet known from his own lips?
