From Tragedy to Triumph: Reed Sunahara Leading Hilo Volleyball to Victory

For more than 30 years, Reed Sunahara, Unit 8 member and UH-Hilo women’s volleyball head coach, has been leading athletes to victory.

Reed was a star athlete in his own right, receiving a scholarship to play volleyball for UCLA and later going pro. After a tragic motorcycle accident prevented him from continuing his own professional volleyball career, he decided to become a coach so he could help others achieve their dream. Since then, he’s worked with athletes from all over the nation, including Team USA in the Olympics. Mahalo for all that you do Reed!
