Jordyn Poulter Shines in Times Square After Olympic Success
Attention volleyball fans and supporters of women's sports: professional women's volleyball has officially made its mark in the United States. Today, a stunning billboard featuring Olympic silver medalist Jordyn Poulter was unveiled in the bustling Times Square of New York City. Poulter previously played for UYBA Volley S.s.d.a.r.l., also known as UYBA Busto Arsizio, a historic volleyball club that is majority-owned by Nasdaq-listed Brera Holdings PLC.
“Jordyn Poulter embodies everything that is wonderful about this incredible sport. Her countless achievements and medals are a testament to her exceptional talent and relentless work ethic,” remarked Dicey McGraw, Head of US Operations at Brera Holdings PLC. McGraw, who played on the UCLA women’s volleyball team and served as captain during her time there, knows the sport well.
Poulter, like many of her peers in US women's professional volleyball, began her career in Italy in 2018, a country renowned for having one of the top volleyball leagues globally. Just two years after her time at UYBA, her appearance in the Olympic finals is no surprise.
