is hard for me to over state the impact of my experience in
participating in the Maccabi Games in 1969. It was my first real
exposure to international sport as a participant and ignited a passion
for the unique mix of competition, travel, culture and world wide
friendships that have been my life ever since. Going to Israel,
experiencing the other teams, foreign values, different cultures,
shared priorities, and the broader world of international sport can be
a life changing event. The mixture of Jewish heritage and history makes
this event that much more special. This trip helped me grow and helped
shape my view of the world and life, unlike any since ." - Douglas P. Beal (CEO USA Volleyball) Ian Blanchard - UMBC - iblanch@umbc.edu 410-455-3241 Head Women's Coach Maccabi Games Israel 2005 Steve Carlat - Arizona (Men) - scarlat@dakotacom.net Men's Team Member: Maccabi Games Israel 1965,69,73 (Bronze medalists) Assistant Men’s Coach: Maccabi Games Israel 1985 (Bronze medal) Head Men’s Coach: Maccabi Games Israel 1989 (Bronze medal) Head Men’s Coach: Maccabi Games Israel 2001 (Silver medal) Co-Head Women’s Coach: Maccabi Games Israel 2001 (Silver medal) "My
experiences both as a player and coach have had a significant effect on
me from multiple standpoints. The deepening of my awareness of the
difficult life the Israeli people live day to day and the enormous
challenges facing them and the country, the experience of seeing how
all the participants from various countries join together through
sport, yet step beyond the bounds of the games to celebrate their love
for the country and the spirit that the Israeli people display, and
lastly my time in Israel had a profound impact on my personal level of
pride that I have as a Jewish man and the commitment to stand up for
all people's right to live freely without persecution because of their
beliefs.” - Steve Carlat Matt Diaz - Pacific Palisades Volleyball Club - mddiaz5@hotmail.com 310 226-2847 Men's Team Member: Maccabi Games Israel 1997 Gilad Doran - USF - gdoron@usfca.edu 415-422-2908 Women's Team Head Coach: Chile 2003 Burt Fuller - University of Utah - bfuller@huntsman.utah.edu 801-585-3217 Head Women's Coach Maccabi Games Israel 1997 (Gold Medal) Barry Goldberg - American University - barryg@american.edu 202-885-3031 Sue Gozansky - UC Riverside - sue.gozansky@ucr.edu (951)-827-5439 Women's Team Assistant Coach: Israel 1981 Women's Team Head Coach: Israel 1985 Men's Team Head Coach: Israel 1989 & 1993 "My
four trips to Israel were wonderful both from a coaching standpoint and
getting in touch with my Jewish roots. The trips helped me define
myself better as a member of the Jewish community. I am grateful to the
USA Maccabiah Organization for this opportunity. It is one of the
highlights of my life." - Sue Gozansky Mitch Kallick - Cal State Fullerton - http://mkallick@fullerton.edu/ (714) 278-3052 Sandy Kleinberg - VolleyFX - sandykleinberg@hotmail.com 214-562-9837 Men's Team Member: Maccabi Games Israel 2001 & 2005 (Silver & Bronze Medals) Men's Indoor Team Member: Pan-Am games Argentina 2007 (Bronze Medal) Doug Levine - NYC Juniors - Douglvolley@aol.com 917-517-8448 Jon Newman-Gonchar - UC San Diego - jonnewman@ucsd.edu (858) 534-8443 Nir Ofer - UC Riverside - nir.ofer@ucr.edu 714-321-9769 Men's and Women's Team Chair/Assistant Coach: Israel 2005 Women's Team Assistant Coach: Chile 2003 Russ Rose - Penn State University - rdr5@psu.edu 814-863-7474 Head Women's Coach: Maccabi Games Israel 1981 (Bronze medal) Head Men’s Coach: Maccabi Games Israel 1985 (Silver medal) "The Maccabiah games provided some of the greatest memories that I have had as a coach and to be able to celebrate them while in Israel, made the experiences that much more complete." - Russ Rose Mitch Sadowsky - Dig-4-kids- mesadowsky@hotmail.com 414-745-3158 Men's Team Member: Maccabi Games Israel 2001 (Silver Medal) Alan Segal - UAB- asegal07@uab.edu 205-975-9879 Head Men’s Coach: Maccabi Games Israel 2005 (Bronze medal) Assistant Men’s Coach: Maccabi Games Israel 1997 & 1989 Assistant Women's Coach: Maccabi Games Israel 1985 Sam Shweisky - UCF - sammy8sammy@hotmail.com 513-280-0273 Men's Team Member: Maccabi Games Israel 2001, 2005 (Silver & Bronze Medals) Men's Indoor Team Member: Pan-Am games Argentina 2007 (Bronze Medal) Junior Girl's Team Head Coach: Israel 2005 (Silver Medal) Women's Team Assistant Coach: Pan-Am games Argentina 2007 (Silver Medal) "Being
given the opportunity to wear a Maccabi USA-Jersey and represent
America in the sport of volleyball has been one of the most gratifying
experiences of my life. Helping to facilitate young athletes to achieve
the same dream has been extremely rewarding as well. I feel honored and
privileged to be able to give back to an organization that has given me
so much." - Sam Shweisky Dane Selznick - USA Volleyball teamselz@aol.com 310-666-7247 Men's Team Member: Maccabi Games Israel 1973 Gene Selznick - Gene’s Team - geneselz@dslextreme.com 323-464-1699 Men's Team Member: Maccabi Games Israel 1957, 1961, 1973 Men's Team Head Coach: Israel 1957, 1961, 1973 To

Maccabi games have helped shape me as an athlete and continue to guide
me as a coach. Through my involvement in these events I have learned
how truly small the world is and how strong and united the global
Jewish community is. I have a terrific sense of pride in my heritage
and I owe a great deal of it to the Maccabi Experience!" - Greg Spector Mike Spector - Maccabiah USA - mspecs2@cs.com 310-477-9766 Volleyball Chair: Israel 1997, 2001, 2005 Volleyball Chair: Pan-Am games Mexico City 1999 & Argentina 2007 "My
wife, daughter and I went to Israel in 1989 to support my son Greg who
played on the open men's volleyball team. We went again in 1993 and for
1997 they asked me to chair the volleyball teams. I gladly accepted and
have chaired all the volleyball competitions for Israel and Pan Am
since (except for Chile in 2003). Why do It? Three reasons, I love
being jewish, I love Israel and I love sports. The Maccabi games
fulfill all three loves." - Mike Spector JT Wenger - UCLA Men - jtwngr4@hotmail.com 847-207-9717 Men's Team Head Coach: Pan-Am games Argentina 2007 (Bronze Medal) Men's Indoor Team Member: Pan-Am games Argentina 2007 (Bronze Medal) Men's Beach Team Member: Pan-Am games Argentina 2007 (Gold Medal) "Being
a part of the Pan-American Macabbi games in Buenos Aires was an
excellent experience. The competition was great and the team
camaraderie was fantastic. The best part was being able to meet people
from different cultures, and learn about other parts of the world. It
was an honor to represent the US Jewish community overseas." - J.T.
