Why Sam Pedlow ranks #245 in Volleyball
Sam Pedlow ranks 245th among Volleyball athletes on GOAT Rank and 3538th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 76.6 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 70, Peak 82, Longevity 80, Honours 72, Statistics 82. 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 2011–present with 16 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2018, which sets the Peak component at 82. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 82 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes world tour medals 3, canadian titles 3, olympic appearances 1, world championship appearances 3.
Immediately ahead sits Bartosz Kurek on 76.7, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Sheilla Castro on 76.3. 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.
