Eric Anthony Sato (born May 5, 1966) is a former American volleyball player, who was a member of the United States men's national volleyball team that won the gold medal at the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, South Korea.
Playing as a defensive player and serving specialist, Sato had a rich history with the U.S. indoor team that also included winning the 1986 World Championships and the bronze medal at the 1992 Summer Olympics. Sato was just a year or two out of Santa Monica High School when he joined the U. S. National Team and just 22 years old when he won the gold medal in 1988. In 2005, Sato was selected as the California State coach of the year and San Diego CIF Coach of the Year.
His sister Liane also played volleyball in both the 1988 and 1992 Olympic games, capturing a bronze medal in 1992.[1]
