Given a terminal diagnosis, Barry Goldberg went back to work at American University.
“Your whole career has been: ‘Make the most of it,’ ” his wife, Bonnie, recently told him.
“We kind of use each other, the team and him,” senior setter Inbal Peleg says. “We need him here, but he also needs us.” Bonnie really didn’t want Barry to go recruiting last summer, but of course she agreed. “It’s his battle,” she says. “The harder he fights, the harder I fight.” He recruited in Israel, Poland and Turkey, finding gifted prospects who liked that AU was in the middle of a big city and didn’t care that it wasn’t in a big conference. He searched youth tournaments for tall players who were not as polished but who he believed someday would be good if he was patient while coaching them. He made himself the coach who didn’t coach in games.
“I think he’s not as focused on winning the volleyball game as he is on building a team and building individual players that can play on a team and building that culture,” Mitch says.
