Beach volleyball at the Olympics will take place this summer without Misty May-Treanor for the first time since the sport debuted in 1996. And the three-time Olympic gold medalist won’t even be in Rio because she’ll be busy with a new job.
May-Treanor was announced Thursday as the new director of volleyball operations at Long Beach City College, where she will also be the head coach for the women’s indoor and beach teams. She starts the new position the first week of July.
“I really like the community college level,” May-Treanor told the Long Beach Press-Telegram.
