My Take
Foluke Akinradewo's profile reads like a quietly remarkable arc to me. Born in London, Ontario, she represents the United States internationally, which already tells you something about how borders blur in elite sport. Standing 191cm as a middle blocker, she came through Stanford and took the 2008 Honda Sports Award for volleyball, a marker of real college dominance. What I find most interesting is the Japan chapter, playing for Hisamitsu Springs, since few American players commit to that league. Now competing under the name Gunderson, she strikes me as someone whose career deserves more recognition outside hardcore volleyball circles than it tends to get.
