According Barbanti (2000) scientific discoveries, methods and discussions related to issues and events of the sport were characterized by so-called cross-cutting, interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary sciences. In the process Cruz (2003) stated that the sports sciences should be considered plural, because the social impact of sport phenomenon expresses a multifaceted reality and needs the assistance of other areas of scientific knowledge. The Brazilian Volleyball Confederation, in its administration, among sports, considers the Brazilian Volleyball as an example to be followed by other sports federations, there is the view-ISO 9001: 2000 certification received in 2003. Thus, studies such as those by Araújo Fernandes Netto and Son (2008) and Araujo Neto, Neves and Santos (2005) describe how this process occurred in Brazil and can contribute significantly to issues related to innovation, management and sports management, which may serve as a model for other confederations and subsequent studies This article provides analysis through the SWOT method of discourses of elite volleyball players, highlighted in the period of transformation and evolution of Volleyball in Brazil, which Kasznar and Graça Filho (2006a), can contribute not only to reflect on the sport Brazilian, but mainly with the development of public policy and directing the activities related to education, sport and leisure of the population.

Beachvolleyball ist doch eine riesige Party, an der wir teilnehmen dürfen.” Emanuel kennt Spiele wie das gegen Harle y/ Pedro zur Genüge. Nir gendwo ist der Konkur- renzkampf so hart wie unter den Brasilianern, „da ist die Motivation noch größer”. Emanuel sieht die Duelle gegen die Landsleute mit gemischten Gefühlen. 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. Seit fünf Jahren spielt Emanuel Rego mit einem schlafenden Riesen Emanuel, der seit 1994 international Beachvol- leyball spielt, hatte bislang zehn P artner, von denen drei herausragend sind: Ze Marco de Melo, Jose Loiola und Ricardo Santos. Die erfolgreichste Phase seiner Karriere erlebt er seit 2003 mit Ricardo, der drei Jahre zuvor mit Ze Marco in Sydney Silber gewonnen hatte. Ricardo Santos sei ein „schlafender Riese, den keiner wirklich kennt”, sagt Mauricio Kaya. „Er ist die ideale Ergänzung für Emanuel”.
