Gavin Schmitt doesn’t want his return to the Canadian men’s volleyball team to mess with its success.
The six-foot-10 outside hitter from Saskatoon, whose crushing kills and laser jump serves are feared internationally, retired after the 2016 Summer Olympics to preserve his beat-up body for his livelihood, which is the pro leagues.
