Why John Hyden ranks #46 in Volleyball
John Hyden ranks 46th among Volleyball athletes on GOAT Rank and 2674th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 87.3 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 82, Peak 90, Longevity 94, Honours 84, Statistics 88. Those categories are normalised against the full Volleyball reference universe of 308 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 1998–2021 with 24 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2010, which sets the Peak component at 90. Longevity is the defining strength of the profile at 94 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes avp titles 27, fivb world tour medals 12, avp most valuable player awards 1, seasons on tour 24.
Immediately ahead sits Paolo Nicolai on 87.4, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Jaqueline Carvalho on 87.0. The position moves whenever the verified record moves: new titles, new seasons or a corrected source all feed straight back into the same formula, and every change is dated on this profile.
