Vietnam women's volleyball parts ways with fitness coach

Fitness expert Karl Lim will take a temporary leave from the Vietnam women's volleyball team following the 2025 World Championship.

Fitness specialist Karl Lim confirmed he will step away from the Vietnam women's volleyball team immediately after the conclusion of the 2025 World Championship. He mentioned he will return to Australia briefly to handle personal matters before coming back to continue supporting Vietnamese volleyball in the next phase.

Karl Lim began his involvement with Vietnamese volleyball in April 2025 through a professional support program initiated by the International Volleyball Federation (FIVB). He took on the role of fitness coach for both the national team and the Vietnamese women's youth team.

Throughout this period, the Australian expert has significantly helped athletes improve their physical foundation, endurance, and post-match recovery. These positive changes have been clearly reflected in recent international matches, where Vietnamese players competed with more confidence and stamina against opponents with superior physique and fitness.

After the team finishes their journey at the world championship, the initial training phase will be considered complete. Therefore, Karl Lim will pause his work in Vietnam and return home for a short period.

According to the plan, the Vietnam women's volleyball team will regroup in November for the next preparation phase, and Karl Lim is expected to return to continue working with the team.
