| Quote: | As he sweats in his dark sunglasses, pumping his fists with every serve he aces, it's almost impossible to think of Chase Budinger anywhere else but the sunny, gritty courts of the professional volleyball AVP tour.
But it wasn't long ago he was playing another professional sport in another league, on a hardwood court indoors — inside Bankers Life Fieldhouse for the Indiana Pacers. |
| Quote: | In addition to the AVP, Budinger does the FIVB, going overseas to play 12-plus tournaments a year. In the spring, he played in Brazil, China and the Czech Republic. After New York, he is headed to a tournament in Poland.
"It’s really fun, it's exciting, non-stop travel," he said. "I get to see a lot of places I never would get to see."
There is one place he still wants to see, one big mission.
"Hopefully, to represent the United States in the Olympics," he said. "The goal is to become the best in the world." |

| Wow that's a solid career. Play in the NBA, do a funk contest, make decent $ and then go do what you actually love in volleyball. Good for him for pulling that off! |
