He is also known as '''Serginho''' or '''Escadinha'''. He plays in the [[libero]] position. In 2009 he became the first Libero to be named [[Most Valuable Player|MVP]] in the World League. == Overview == He is widely regarded as one of the best liberos of all time and is unquestionably the best libero of the 2000s, with more awards than any other libero. Known for his service reception and digging skills, teams often attempted to avoid Sergio when serving. Beyond his defensive abilities, he was also capable of running the offense as a 'second setter' if the setter was forced to make the first contact. This was in large part due to Sergio playing the setting position while growing up and subbing in as a setter for his professional club teams over the years. ==Other websites== * [http://www.fivb.org/EN/Volleyball/Competitions/WorldLeague/2010/Players.asp?Tourn=WL2010&Team=BRA&No=113176 FIVB Profile] * [http://www.legavolley.it/DettaglioAtleta.asp?IdAtleta=SER-SAN Scheda su Legavolley.it] {{DEFAULTSORT:Santos, Sergio}} [[Category:Brazilian volleyball players]] [[Category:1975 births]] [[Category:Living people]] [[Category:Sportspeople from Paraná State]] {{sports-bio-stub}}
