Why Phil Dalhausser ranks #11 in Volleyball

Phil Dalhausser ranks 11th among Volleyball athletes on GOAT Rank and 663rd of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 85.0 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 82, Peak 90, Longevity 84, Honours 84, Statistics 86. Those categories are normalised against the full Volleyball reference universe of 310 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.

The record covers 2001–2022 with 17 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2007, which sets the Peak component at 90. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 90 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes olympic golds 1, world championship titles 1, fivb tour wins 34, avp tour wins 63.

Immediately ahead sits Fernanda Venturini on 84.7, a gap of -0.3 points. Directly behind is Ekaterina Gamova on 85.4. 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.
