Jordan Larson usually prepares for the Olympics while playing overseas. This time, the volleyball star enlisted the help of Nebraska's staff to train in Lincoln.
Watching Jordan Larson play in the Olympics is always special for people from Nebraska.
The outside hitter for the United States women’s volleyball team is one of the greatest sports stories in the state’s history — a soon-to-be four-time Olympian with a medal in all three colors.
Growing up in small town Hooper, Larson dreamt of playing in the Olympics. One time would have been enough, but she’s about to do so for the fourth time.
Even better, Larson was a starter on the first-ever U.S. women’s team to win Olympic gold, as the Americans triumphed in the delayed 2020 Olympics played in 2021.
Watching Larson in the Paris Olympics this summer will provide a different perspective for Nebraskans, considering some of Larson's training for the Games occurred in Lincoln over five months last fall and winter.

And soon after the final match in Paris, Larson will travel back to Lincoln and rejoin the Nebraska volleyball team, where she’ll be in her second season as an assistant coach.
The fifth-ranked Americans’ first match is July 29, and the 12-player U.S. roster also includes former Huskers Kelsey (Robinson) Cook and Justine Wong-Orantes.
In three previous trips to the Olympics, Larson’s training for the Olympics occurred overseas while she played for professional teams.
This time, Larson opted not to play a pro season, instead training in both Lincoln and the USA gym in Anaheim, California, before the team convened for official practices in May.

Four-time Olympian Jordan Larson joins the USA Volleyball Spring Training Camp at Open Gym Premier in Anaheim, Calif., on March 12.
In Lincoln, Larson did her strength and conditioning workouts four times per week with David Schwartz. He’s the brother of Larson’s Nebraska teammate Rachel Schwartz and the co-founder of Kratos Performance and Fitness.
After Nebraska’s season ended, Larson practiced at the Devaney Sports Center with the help of Nebraska assistant coaches Jaylen Reyes and Kelly Hunter. Also helping were the Huskers’ graduate managers — most of whom played men’s college volleyball.
While they couldn’t match the intensity of six-on-six professional matches, Reyes helped Larson come up with drills to keep her skills sharp.
“I was like, â€OK, Jaylen, we’ve got to get creative here. What are some drills that we can do?’” Larson said.
Larson practiced serve-receive. She did drills to practice transitioning from defense to offense. She hit against two blockers. She served.
“So I was trying to make do with a limited amount of hands,” Larson said. “I’m just so grateful for them sacrificing their time and energy to help me. It allowed me to still be (in Lincoln) and help our girls in the spring a little bit.”
Larson mixed in her training in Lincoln with monthly trips to California, where she trained with U.S. coach Karch Kiraly and other members of the national team who weren’t with pro teams.
Larson’s training in Lincoln was sufficient, but in March, she took her training to California full-time to ramp up for the summer stretch.
Larson is also grateful for the support of her U.S. teammates, who supported her decision to not play a pro season.
“I feel really grateful to be a part of it all,” she said. “And to be in a position to help this team in any way I can. I’m still amazed some days of how I’m still able to play. I mean that in the most sincere way. I feel so blessed. I still love competing.”
It has been 15½ years since the 37-year-old Larson played her final match for Nebraska, during the 2008 Final Four in Omaha.
Once players leave Nebraska, most of their playing careers are out of sight of Nebraska fans because it’s played in other countries and the matches aren’t on network TV.
For the players, there are several championships to play for with their pro clubs, and that’s how they earn the most money. There are also major tournaments with the national team each summer, including the World Championship and the World Cup.
Still, the Olympics ranks near the top because it’s what the players grew up dreaming of.
“It’s always held a special place in my heart,” Larson said. “It’s a true honor in representing our country. I know that there are a lot of men and women sacrificing to keep us safe. While we are not to that extent, I still take pride in honoring our flag and what it represents and what our nation represents. I know that while my journey to the Olympics has been a dream of mine, it’s so much bigger than me and I play for the little girl inside of me at 12 years old. And the little girls that dream of being an Olympian one day.
“I think that’s what makes this all so surreal is that I was just a kid with a dream. I feel like I took all of the right steps in my path, but some days it just feels so surreal.”
While training with the national team, Larson still spent some time working for the Huskers, including recruiting meetings with the coaches and recruits.
Larson was able to spend time with many of the Nebraska players earlier in the summer.
“It’s been so fun getting to know our players. We just have really good kids,” Larson said.
The Americans traveled to Paris on Saturday to begin final preparations for the Olympics.
Next winter, Larson will play pro volleyball for LOVB Omaha, the second pro team to start up in the city in as many years. Nine of the 12 players on the Olympic team are set to play for one of the six LOVB teams.
Larson moving into the recently created third full-time assistant coach position allowed some flexibility that has allowed her to continue to play.
But coach John Cook is still expecting Larson to get back to Lincoln and in the practice gym with the Huskers as soon as possible after the Olympics. Nebraska starts official practice on Aug. 5. The gold-medal match is on Aug. 11.
“I was hoping for a couple of days off, but I think the plan is, â€Hey, it’s go time and we need all hands on deck,’” Larson said. “I don’t know when I return — it just depends on how we progress — but the plan is to be back in the gym the day after.”
Being in Nebraska, and with the Huskers' players and staff, has helped Larson in her latest lead-up to the Olympics.
“It’s been good for my heart,” she said.
