When you get a phone call to play for international volleyball's most decorated coach, Bernardo 'Bernardinho' Rezende of Brazil, you pack your bags.
Canadian setter Brie King didn't need to think twice about making the leap to sign with historic club Sesc RJ Flamengo in Rio de Janeiro last season.
After all, it's another step toward her dream of making the Paris 2024 Olympic Games with Team Canada. "I knew the reputation of the coach and it was kind of a no-brainer for my age and my position.
It's kind of like a dream to play for him," King said in a recent interview with CBC Sports. Since King's four-year U Sports career with the Trinity Western University Spartans, the 25-year-old native of Langley, B.C., has been taking her game to new levels while trotting around the globe.
