Episode 454 - Luke Perry Interview


Listen Later

Luke Perry has risen the ranks of indoor volleyball, going from the suburbs of Perth in Australia right to the very top tiers of the sport in Europe to be widely recognised as one of the top liberos in the sport. But how does a kid from a country that has little volleyball coverage go to the biggest stage in his sport to become one of the best players in the world? We learn from Luke more about his journey and discover just how a promising Australian Football career transitioned into volleyball. We also find out just how he was able to navigate the tricky volleyball landscape coming from Australia, and just where the sport currently sits down under as it prepares to host another Olympics in seven years time. We also find out more about just exactly what a libero is and learn why any volleyball fan on the planet needs to get to Poland to fully experience the sport. It's one wide-ranging chat that you won't want to miss!
