She will be 32 if she decides to try and play again for Team USA at the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo. With a bronze medal from Rio in her first Olympics, setter Alisha Glass is on an indefinite leave from the sport and her professional career is also taking a break.
In this article by record-eagle.com, the 2014 World Champion shares her plans after Rio.
“I’m not going overseas anymore, and I’m putting everything on hold. I’m taking some time off, and I’m going to spend some time with my family when I can and my boyfriend, wherever he ends up, and just kind of do the normal life. I’ll see if that doesn’t pull me in a different direction.” -Alisha.
In case you didn’t know, Alisha is dating former NBA player Josh Childress who is committed to play for Texas Legends this season per Wikipedia.
Josh was in Rio during the Olympics to cheer for his girl who was chosen as the “Best Setter”.
Honestly, we’d love to see her again in the near future setting for Team USA. We have a feeling she’d return just in time for Tokyo.
On the other hand, we respect her choices in life. We are so excited to see what the future holds for Alisha!
