Why Kent Steffes ranks #106 in Volleyball
Kent Steffes ranks 106th among Volleyball athletes on GOAT Rank and 2939th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 84.7 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 94, Longevity 76, Honours 84, Statistics 86. 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 1988–1998 with 11 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1994, which sets the Peak component at 94. Peak 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 olympic gold medals 1, avp tour wins 100, avp mvp awards 2, tour season titles 4.
Immediately ahead sits Fernanda Venturini on 84.7, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Ana Ida Alvares on 84.5. 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.
