The Setter Behind Brazil's Gold

Bruno Rezende is a setter, the playmaker who delivers the second touch and decides which attacker gets the ball, which is why setters are called the brains of a team. He is the son of Bernardinho, the legendary coach who led Brazil's men to years of success.

With his father coaching, Bruno won Olympic silver in 2008 and 2012, two painful near misses. As captain at the home Olympics in Rio 2016, he led Brazil to gold, beating Italy in straight sets in the final at the Maracanãzinho arena.

Bruno's quick decisions and leadership made him one of the world's top setters. Winning gold at home, with his father on the bench, became one of Brazilian volleyball's most emotional moments.
