This study looks into discourses of high-performance Brazilian volleyball athletes and coaches about the process of migration given the several achievements of Brazil’s national teams as well as spectacularization and attractiveness aroused by that sport. The methodology is descriptive and qualitative, using an interview script with coaches and athletes of Unilever and RJX – volleyball teams from the state of Rio de Janeiro. As a result, we found discussions about coaches’ needs to find good athletes coupled with financial management as categories of analysis for them. For players, in turn, international experience, distance from families and financial and professional rise are factors that cause them to migrate. We found that obstacles encountered by the people are mainly cultural, economic and political.
