Contributions to the sport of volleyball

As a player

Beal competed on three U.S. Olympic teams, two World Championships teams, and four NORCECA Zone championship teams. Beal was a five-time All-America player at Ohio State University. In 1969 he was voted Most Valuable Player (MVP) of the Midwest Intercollegiate Volleyball Association. He was also selected MVP of the 1975 USVBA Open Championships. He played on the U.S. Men's National Team from 1970 to 1976.

As a coach

United States National Team

Beal was named head coach of the U.S. Men's National Team in 1977 and became the driving force for establishing a full-time, year-around volleyball training center. The facility was created in Dayton, Ohio, in 1978. The center moved to San Diego, California in 1981 along with the national team program.

With Beal as head coach of the national team, the United States captured its first-ever gold medal in men's volleyball at the 1984 Olympics. Although he stepped down as head coach following his team's 1984 gold medal run, Beal's pioneering offensive and defensive systems continued to impact the U.S. volleyball program, yielding gold medals at the 1985 Volleyball World Cup, the 1986 FIVB Volleyball Men's World Championships, and the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul. After his resignation, Beal became the organization's National Team Center Director from 1985-87. He remained involved with the organization until 1990 when he moved to Italy to coach a top professional team.

Beal returned to the men's national team in July, 1993 as a special assistant to the Executive Director/CEO. He worked closely with former USAV Executive Director John Carroll, and was responsible for FIVB relations and player development for the USA national teams. He worked in that capacity until he accepted the program's head coaching position for the second time in 1997.

During his second leg as head coach of the national team, he guided the team at the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, Australia. He became the second coach in USA Volleyball history to guide three teams to the Olympics when Team USA qualified for the 2004 Summer Games by winning the NORCECA Olympic Qualifying Tournament in Puerto Rico with a perfect 6-0 record. In the 2004 Summer Games, he guided his squad to a 4-4 record and to a fourth-place finish overall at the 2004 Olympics in Athens, Greece

Professional

Beal served a two-year stint from 1990 to 1992 as head coach of the Italian Professional League's Mediolanum Gonzaga team in Milan, Italy. MG won the FIVB Volleyball Men's Club World Championship in 1991 and finished third in 1992.
