Kumi Nakada (中田 久美, Nakada Kumi, born 3 September 1965) is a former professional volleyball player and former coach of Hisamitsu Springs.[1] She led Japan to a bronze medal at the 1984 Summer Olympics while still in high school and, despite serious and chronic knee injuries, remained one of the world's top setters until her retirement from the sport in 1993. Unusually for a Japanese athlete, Nakada was (and still is) remembered by opponents and teammates alike for her volatile temper, fiery competitiveness, and outspoken manner both on and off the court.
Personal life
After brief stints as a fashion model and motivational speaker, Nakada currently provides colour commentary and makes guest appearances in a wide range of sports and variety media in Japan. She is represented by Sports Biz in Tokyo.[2]
Coaching
In October 2016, Nakada became the Japan women's national volleyball team's head coach.[3] She retired from the position in August 2021, after the team finished in 10th place in the 2020 Summer Olympics.[4][5]
