My sister is a nurse, so she and her family had to be extra careful. My parents had retired already so they were locked away in their retirement resort.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Competing in 137 FIVB-sanctioned events during his 13-season (1999-2008, 2010-2012) international career, Slack participated in the Sydney 2000, Athens 2004 and Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. Since his retirement from the sport, he continues to be involved with the country\u2019s elite players.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am still assisting the Beach VolleyRoos with video analysis and statistics,\u201d said Slack, who ranks third among Australians in FIVB events played. \u201cIt is great to still be involved. I may still play on the Queensland State Beach Tour also, winning events as I go.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Beach volleyballers Josh Slack and Bo Soderberg\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/606s14czfMU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>With only Natalie Cook (165) and Julien Prosser (145) competing in more FIVB events than Slack, he said competing in the Sydney Olympics with Matthew Grinlaubs was his \u201cmost memorable. It was my first Olympics, and it was a home Olympics. It was extra special as my family were able to come to Sydney and watch also. As most of our international events were overseas, they didn\u2019t get to see many.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In never playing against Prosser on the World Tour, Slack tabbed his Australian rival \u201cas one of the pioneers for Australian beach volleyball players traveling overseas. His skill level, touch and mental strength made him a great player for many years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-56300\" src=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/a-9.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1400\" height=\"898\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/a-9.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/a-9-300x192.jpg 300w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/a-9-1024x657.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/a-9-768x493.jpg 768w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/a-9-600x385.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" \/><em>Julien Prosser of Australia<\/em><\/p>\n<p>While Prosser posted the best finish by an Australian men\u2019s team in the Olympics when he and Mark Williams advanced to the Athens 2004 Summer Games semifinals, Slack teamed with Andrew Schacht to claim the country\u2019s only men\u2019s medal at the Gstaad 2007 World Championships.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Gstaad event was always one of my favourites and winning a cowbell was definitely one to cross off the bucket list,\u201d said Slack. \u201cTo achieve this against the legends that are Emanuel (Rego) and Ricardo (Santos) made it even more special.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-56301\" src=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/c-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1400\" height=\"934\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/c-4.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/c-4-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/c-4-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/c-4-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/c-4-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" \/><em>Joshua Slack (right) with his world championship medal along with (left to right) Dmitri Barsouk, Igor Kolodinsky, Todd Rogers, Phil Dalhausser and Andrew Schacht<\/em><\/p>\n<p>After losing their first match at the 2007 worlds in the Swiss Alps village, the 16th-seeded Slack and Schacht won their next five matches highlighted by a 2-0 (21-19, 21-16) win over Jian Li and Shun Zhou of China, who had defeated the Australians 2-0 (21-18, 21-19) earlier in the competition.<\/p>\n<p>After falling 2-0 (21-13, 21-19) to sixth-seeded Dmitri Barsouk and Igor Kolodinsky of Russia, Slack and Schacht scored a 2-0 (21-17, 21-19) win in 42 minutes over the top-seeded Emanuel and Ricardo in the bronze medal match.

We had the mentality that if our game could beat them, then it could beat most other teams in the world. Playing against Emanuel and Ricardo made us play at 95-100% of our best at all times, otherwise we had no chance. We trained for this and this was the mentality we tried to bring against all teams.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Gstaad 2007 match was the second time the two teams met for an FIVB medal as Emanuel and Ricardo defeated Slack and Schacht 21 days earlier for the gold medal in Montreal where the Brazilians won 2-1 (17-21, 21-13, 18-16) in 61 minutes.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-56303\" src=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/e-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1400\" height=\"1026\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/e-2.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/e-2-300x220.jpg 300w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/e-2-1024x750.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/e-2-768x563.jpg 768w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/e-2-600x440.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" \/><em>Montreal madness for Aussie Joshua Slack<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Slack also listed Phil Dalhausser and Todd Rogers as another top opponent as the Americans captured the gold medals at the 2007 World Championships by defeating Emanuel and Ricardo (2-1 (21-16, 13-21, 19-17) in the semifinals before claiming the title by defeating the Russians in the final.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey were a great team and at the peak of their abilities at the time Andrew and I were playing,\u201d said Slack. \u201cThe one team that we had some great battles with was Baracetti (Mariano) and Conde (Martin). We had some amazing matches against these guys.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While the Slack and Schacht were 0-3 against Dalhausser and Rogers, who also claimed the gold medal at the Beijing Olympics, the Australians won only one of 10 FIVB World Tour matches with Baracetti and Conde, the 2001 FIVB world champions.<\/p>\n<p>Competing with five different partners during his FIVB career, Slack posted a 293-243 match mark (52.6 winning percent), including a 170-140 record (54.7%) in 69 starts with Schacht.

To be successful family had to be resilient and be exceptionally good at moving on from week to week.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In looking back on his career, Slack said \u201cto be able to represent Australia at three Olympic Games is a huge honoUr for me. But to be able to give back to the sport has been just as rewarding. I still love going to State Tour events and talking volleyball with younger players, sharing my knowledge and experiences.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Slack concluded his final comments by saying \u201cone of the things I love doing now, outside of beach volleyball, is using my smoker.
