Why Tom Hoff ranks #226 in Volleyball
Tom Hoff ranks 226th among Volleyball athletes on GOAT Rank and 3339th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 79.1 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 74, Peak 86, Longevity 80, Honours 80, Statistics 76. 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 1996–2009 with 14 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2008, which sets the Peak component at 86. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 86 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes olympic gold medals 1, olympic games contested 3, world league medals 2, norceca titles 2.
Immediately ahead sits Max Holt on 79.0, a gap of -0.1 points. Directly behind is Facundo Conte on 79.0. 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.
