Her love for indoor volleyball grew from there as she progressed through the ranks to represent Australia for a decade stretching from 1982. Kerri captained the national team in 1992 and played professionally in Bologna, North Italy on a Division 1 team in 1990. In 1992, a serious knee injury forced Kerri off the hardcourt. Beach volleyball made its Olympic debut in Atlanta 1996 where Kerri and her partner won bronze. In the same year, they combined for a silver medal at the World Championships, and won the World Tour Event Japan. With the eyes of the nation watching at the 2000 Sydney Olympics, Kerri and partner Natalie Cook won gold in straight sets. The pair was awarded the Order of Australia and named in the Fédération Internationale Volleyball Team of the Decade. After a brief retirement from the games, Kerri made a comeback for 2004 Athens Games. Domestically, Kerri won eight Australian titles and 17 medals from 92 events of the FIVB World Tour events before her retirement. Kerri is currently on the board of Volleyball Australia, is the author of ‘ The Business of Being an Athlete’ and operates a coaching business.

Einerseits sei es gut, ständig gefordert zu werden. Aber weil es in seiner Heimat so viele Spitzenspieler gibt, werden permanent neue Teams gebildet, was wiederum einer langfristigen Entwicklung des einzelnen Athleten schadet.

  • Kerri Pottharst
    Kerri Pottharst Beach Volleyball Olympic Gold Medalist & Keynote Speaker Kerri Pottharst is renowned as one of the world’s most fierce Volleyball competitors and Australia’s most decorated Indoor and Beach Volleyball player. She represented her country for an incredible 20 years. Kerri is also a highly influential motivational keynote speaker. Drawing on her experience as an elite athlete, she works closely with her audiences to deliver inspirational messages of teamwork, skill, trust, relationship building, leadership and communication, and importantly, tangible results. Kerri’s presentations are peppered with unforgettable tales from beach volleyball that combine motivational messages with fun. They can even include a fun session of beach volleyball with the Olympic hero. More about Kerri Pottharst: When Kerri Pottharst took up volleyball at the age of 15, she hadn’t yet dreamed of becoming an Olympic champion. “I was simply given an opportunity, set myself goals, worked hard and most importantly, I loved every minute of it!” In 1992, a sickening knee injury should have ended Kerri Pottharst’s career, but in her typical no- nonsense style, Kerri recovered late in 1993. She changed her life goals and went on to win two Olympic medals in Beach Volleyball. One of those was Bronze at the Atlanta Olympics and then the Gold against Brazil during the Sydney 2000 Games. Kerri and her playing partner, Natalie Cook, brought new ideas and moves to the sport of Beach Volleyball, which are now being imitated by teams from all over the world. As testament to Kerri’s abilities, since 1994 she has never been out of the top 10 and rarely out of the top six in International Beach Volleyball events.

Por tal razón la estructura tradicional de planificación de la preparación que se aplica, no garantiza las necesidades de aprendizaje al ritmo que se desea. Este trabajo persigue como finalidad diseñar una estructura anual de enseñanza - entrenamiento más precisa para la preparación de las selecciones de Voleibol de Playa de la Provincia del Guayas, que se ajuste a características de los modelos contemporáneos de entrenamiento deportivo. Dicha estructura no es más que diseñar una guía metodológica que sirva de instrumento a los entrenadores que se dediquen a la formación de los nuevos atletas de este deporte.
