ABOUT FLO HYMAN
Flo Hyman was one of the most accomplished student-athletes in Houston history. A native of Los Angeles, she joined the Cougars from 1974 to 1976 and made an immediate impact as one of the first female athletic scholarship recipients in school history.
 
Hyman was a three-time AIAW All-American and was recognized as the National Player of the Year in 1976. During her time in the Scarlet and White, she led the Cougars to 120 victories and a Top-5 finish at the AIAW National Tournament every season.
 
Following her collegiate career, Hyman began an award-winning international playing career and led the United States to the Silver Medal in the 1984 Olympic Games. She was inducted into the University of Houston Athletics Hall of Honor in 1988.
 
Hyman passed away unexpectedly in 1986 at the age of 31. Today, she is not only remembered as one of the sport of volleyball's most powerful players but as a leader who worked to uphold the Civil Rights Restoration Act and the strengthening of Title IX legislation.

If Flo Hyman were here today, she would want all players to believe in themselves, teammates and coaches while honoring the sport, and respecting those at Houston. The University of Houston provided her the foundation to become one of the finest ambassadors the U.S. ever had. More

As you sit in the stands at the University of Houston Athletics/Alumni Center this weekend and take in the Cougars' first home game you may recognize the name attached to the front of the tournament. You may have heard a tale or two about the legend of Flo Hyman. A select few may even remember watching the great player attack the net in Cougar Scarlet and White in the mid-1970s.

"If I had to pick one word that best describes Flo," former volleyball coach Ruth Nelson said during Hyman's Houston Hall of Honor induction speech, "the word would have to be inspirational."  Read More



To be true to one's self.....

To be true to one's self is the ultimate test in life. To have courage and the sensitivity to follow your hidden dreams and stand tall against the odds that are bound to fall in your path. Life is too short and precious to be dealt with in any other fashion. This thought I hold dear to my heart and I always try to be true to myself and others that I encounter along the way." - Flo Hyman
