Bio

Obradovich played volleyball for ECC under the outstanding Coach Don Hay, who also doubled as the head football coach.

After ECC, Obradovich attended USC to continue his education and volleyball career. He also played football in September 1975 for John McKay; he lettered in football in 1976; then played volleyball in the spring of 1977, where USC put together an 18-1 record and their first NCAA Men's Volleyball Championship with a win over Ohio State. Obradovich is the only USC player in history to ever letter in both football and volleyball at the same time.

He later took his volleyball skills to the beach and competed in two-man competitions. Before professional beach volleyball, there was the parks and recreation tour and Obradovich won nine of them. Next came the AVP and nine more wins, including the "Wimbledon of beach volleyball," the Manhattan Beach Open. With that win on August 15, 1976, Obradovich was immortalized with his name on the pier with teammate Chris Marlow.
