The USA Women’s volleyball team’s green signal to the Paris Olympics has left the American fans thrilled. The team qualified for the premier competition this past week, after earning a 6-1 point score at the Olympic qualifiers in Poland. Moments after the team’s victory in eight-team Olympic qualifiers, a star athlete made a significant career transition.

The American volleyball player was in the starting lineup when her team won over Germany in Lodz, Poland, earning a spot in the 2024 Olympics.

Owing to her profound impact on the national team through her dedication and skills, the champion intends to bring the same to her new job as the Huskers’ new coach.

The update on the career transition was shed light on Twitter by VolleyballMag.com. They stated on their official handle, “From Poland to Lincoln, USA Volleyball’s Jordan Larson jumps right in with Huskers.”

However, Larson’s life is certainly not a bed of roses. After concluding the two-week qualifiers, the athlete had to do some hectic traveling from Warsaw to Munich, Munich to Chicago, and then Chicago to Omaha. Her perseverance is a testament to her great passion for the sport. On Tuesday, Jordan was back on her feet as the third assistant coach for the second-ranked Nebraska Huskers Women’s Volleyball team. Her seamless transition from player to coach was possible through her iron-willed nature and swift adaptability. Larson will be assisting her mentor and Nebraska’s head coach, John Cook.
