Doce Coaches comentan sobre sus equipos en Copa Pan Am LIMA, Perú, 12 de junio 2015 – La XIV Copa Panamericana de Voleibol de Mujeres se pone en marcha este sábado en acciones en dos sedes - el Coliseo Miguel Grau y el Coliseo Eduardo Dibós con la primera jornada ofreciendo seis partidos que prometen emocionantes jugadas. Doce equipos -siete de la Confederación NORCECA y cinco de la Confederación Sudamericana están tomando parte en la competición intercontinental organizada por la Federación Peruana de Voleibol, bajo la supervisión de la Unión Americana de Voleibol Pan (UPV). Los entrenadores de los equipos comentaron acerca de las características de sus conjuntos durante la entrevista preliminar de los equipos celebrada en el Hotel Los Delfines. Aquí siguen los extractos de sus declaraciones: Guillermo Orduna - Argentina: "Estamos confiados en el trabajo que hemos estado haciendo con nuestro equipo. Nuestro equipo está bien equilibrado, pero estamos bregando con un total de 22 jugadoras ya que este es un año muy cargado. Algunas jugadoras se quedaron en casa. Nuestro objetivo es siempre mejorar cada vez que participamos en la Copa Panamericana. Queremos hacerlo mejor cada año y obtener un mejor posicionamiento". Mauricio Thomas, Brasil: "Esta es una experiencia única para nuestro equipo juvenil. Queremos aprovechar al máximo esta oportunidad de jugar en una competición de alto nivel. Nuestro objetivo es jugar en el nivel habitual de un equipo nacional brasileño. Definitivamente es una buena oportunidad para nuestras chicas desarrollarse como jugadoras internacionales". Arnd Ludwig - Canadá: "En los últimos años hemos estado trabajando para conseguir nuestro nivel completo y mostrar nuestro potencial. Hemos practicado en un buen nivel y espero que podamos salir mejor de lo que hicimos en Cuba, jugando constantemente a lo largo de todos los partidos y no sólo bien por uno o dos parciales. Esa es nuestra meta". Eduardo Guillaume - Colombia: "Colombia es un equipo joven que se prepara para el torneo de clasificación olímpica sudamericano el próximo mes de enero, con grandes esperanzas. Potencial ha sido siempre una palabra característica cuando se habla del voleibol de Colombia. Estamos tratando de llevar este equipo hacia adelante. Tiene mucho dinamismo y volumen de juego". Braulio Godinez -Costa Rica: "Estamos empezando todo de nuevo con sólo tres jugadoras que asistieron al último campeonato del mundo. El resto del plantel lo componen atletas de las categorías inferiores, ya que necesitamos generar un nuevo equipo para mantener nuestro

liderazgo en la región centroamericana cuando el siguiente torneo se lleve a cabo el próximo año. Esta Copa Panamericana es una buena experiencia para las nuevas jugadoras". Roberto García - Cuba: "En términos generales estamos aún completando nuestro equipo. Nos clasificamos para la Copa del Mundo, pero todavía estamos tratando de establecer una alineación titular regular. Nuestro grupo es muy fuerte, pero vamos a tratar de extraer el máximo de nuestro equipo para conseguir la plaza del Gran Premio del año que viene". Marcos Kwiek - República Dominicana: "Nosotros acabamos de llegar de un torneo muy duro, aunque fue corto en Cuba. La mitad del equipo está sufriendo de algunas lesiones, pero todavía nuestro objetivo es clasificarnos para el Gran Premio. Es un grupo mixto, pero aún enfrentamos algunos problemas. Haremos nuestro mejor esfuerzo para obtener un buen resultado". Jorge Azair - México: "Es una experiencia más para nosotros. Este es un equipo renovado. Algunas de nuestras jugadoras no pudieron venir debido a compromisos escolares y otras debido a razones personales. Pero tenemos un equipo competitivo y esperamos calificar una vez más para el Gran Premio y también mejorar a partir del resultado del año pasado". Mauro Marasciulo - Perú: "El equipo está bien, pero siempre enfrentamos algunos dolores. La clasificación a la Copa del Mundo ha impulsado la moral del equipo, pero hay que tener en cuenta que el nivel de la Copa Panamericana es más fuerte. Tenemos muchas atletas jóvenes jugando como regulares por lo que es una buena experiencia para ellas. Espero que podamos representar a Perú lo mejor posible". José Mieles - Puerto Rico: "Traigo el mismo equipo que participó en el Final Four es decir con todos los cañones disponibles. Estamos en la preparación para el Gran Premio y los Juegos Panamericanos y nuestra meta es estar en la ronda de medallas y calificar para el Gran Premio del próximo año. Estoy en el proceso de probar algunas jugadores y Pilar Victoria, quien jugó para la Universidad de Arkansas, es una nueva adición joven como atacante de esquina para el futuro". David Hunt - Estados Unidos: "Tenemos una mezcla de jugadoras jóvenes y mayores, así que nos sentimos muy emocionados de ver cómo juegan juntas. El año pasado perdimos ante la República Dominicana en la final y vamos a enfrentar algunos muy buenos equipos. Estamos muy entusiasmados con el desafío". Yamandú Peralta - Uruguay: "Tenemos un equipo joven que está pasando por un proceso de construcción y básicamente estamos aquí para aprender y trabajar para el futuro del voleibol en Uruguay. Estoy residiendo en Francia y ahora vengo de voluntario para trabajar por un año con la Federación de Uruguay para ayudar como ex jugador en la estructura del personal técnico. Esa es la manera de pagarle de alguna manera con el voleibol de mi país lo que hizo por mí".

Twelve Coaches comment about their teams at Pan Am Cup LIMA, Peru, June 12, 2015 – The XIV Women’s Volleyball Pan American Cup gets underway on Saturday with actions at two venues – Miguel Grau Coliseum and Eduardo Dibos Coliseum – with the opening day featuring six matches promising exciting plays. Twelve teams – seven from NORCECA Confederation and five from South American Confederation – are taking part in the intercontinental competition organized by the Peruvian Volleyball Federation under the supervision of the Pan American Volleyball Union (UPV). The coaches of the teams commented about the characteristics of their sides during the preliminary interview of the teams held at Los Delfines Hotel. Here follow the excerpts of their statements: Guillermo Orduna – Argentina: “We are confident of the work we have been doing with our team. Our team is well balanced but we are dealing with a total of 22 players since this is a very busy year. Some players stayed at home. Our goal is always to improve with each time participating in the Pan American Cup. We want to do it better every year and get a better positioning.” Mauricio Thomas, Brazil: “This is a unique experience for our junior team. We want to make the most of this opportunity to play in a high level competition. Our goal is to play at the usual level of a Brazilian national team. Definitely it’s a good opportunity for our girls to develop as international players.” Arnd Ludwig – Canada: “For the past few years we have been working to get our complete level and show our potential. We have practiced at a good level and I hope we can come out better than we did in Cuba, performing consistently throughout the whole matches and not only doing well for one or two sets. That’s our goal.” Eduardo Guillaume – Colombia: “Colombia is a young team preparing with high hopes for the Olympic South American qualifier next January. Potential has been always a characteristic word when talking about Colombia’s volleyball. We are trying to move this team forward. They have plenty dynamism and volume of play.” Braulio Godinez –Costa Rica: “We are starting all over again with only three players who took part the last world championship. The rest of the squad is made of athletes from the junior ranks as we need to generate a new team to maintain our leading position in the Central American region when the next tournament takes place next year. This Pan American Cup is a good experience of the new players.”

Roberto García – Cuba: “Generally speaking we are completing our team. We just qualified to the World Cup but are still trying to establish a regular starting lineup. Our pool is very strong but we will try to squeeze the most of our team to get the spot of next year’s grand prix.” Marcos Kwiek – Dominican Republic: “We just arrived from a very tough tournament even though it was a short one in Cuba. Half of the team is nursing some injuries but still our goal is to qualify to the Grand Prix. It is a mixed group but still facing some problems. We will do our best to get a good result.” Jorge Azair – Mexico: “It is one more experience for us. This is a renovated team. Some of our players couldn’t come due to school commitments and others because of personal reasons. But we have a competitive team and we hope to once again qualify to the grand prix and also to improve from last year’s result.” Mauro Marasciulo - Peru: “The team is doing well but you always face some pains. The qualification to the World Cup boosted the morale of the team but you have to take into consideration that the level of a Pan American Cup is stronger. We have many young athletes playing as regulars so it is a good experience for them. I am looking forward to represent Peru as well as possible.” Jose Mieles – Puerto Rico: “I am bringing the same team that took part in the Final Four and that is with all the cannons available. We are in preparation for the Grand Prix and the Pan American Games and our goal is to be in the medal round and to qualify to next year’s grand prix. I am in the process of testing some players and Pilar Victoria, who played for Arkansas University, is a new young addition as outside hitter for the future.” David Hunt – United States: “We have a mix of older and younger players so we are excited to see how they play together. Last year we lost to the Dominican Republic in the finals and we are going to face some very good team. We are excited about the challenge.” Yamandu Peralta – Uruguay: “We have a young team which is going through a building process and basically we are here to learn and work for the future of volleyball in Uruguay. I am based in France and now volunteering to work for one year with the Uruguay Federation to help as former player in the structure of the technical staff. That’s the way to, in some way, pay back to the volleyball of my country all the sport did for me.”
