Career

In 1990 Prosser played his first international tournaments with Andrew Burdin . The duo reached a third place in FIVB tournaments in Yokohama and three fourth places. In 1995 Prosser got together with his long-time partner Lee Zahner . In the 1996 Olympic tournament Prosser / Zahner finished ninth. They took the same rank the following year at the World Championships in Los Angeles . The 1999 World Cup in Marseille went even better , where the two Australians just barely missed the semi-finals. In 2000 they were ninth in the Olympics at the Games in Sydney in front of their own audience, as they were defeated in the second round to the Swiss brothers Martin and Paul Laciga . At the 2001 World Cup they won their preliminary group and defeated the German duo Ahmann / Hager in the first main round before they had to admit defeat to the Brazilians Emanuel / Tande in the round of 16 . At the end of 2002 they parted ways.

Prosser competed with Mark Williams for the next two years and reached the second round at the 2003 World Cup , where there was a defeat against the Swiss Heuscher / Kobel . 2004 in Athens Prosser played his third Olympic tournament and reached the game for bronze with Williams, which the Australians lost with 13:15 in the tiebreak against Heuscher / Kobel, who they were already defeated in the preliminary round.

In 2005 he formed a new duo with Brett Richardson . At the World Cup in Berlin there was another defeat against the two Swiss, before Prosser / Richardson failed to the Americans Blanton / Wong . A year later, Prosser ended his international career after the open tournament in Stare Jabłonki .
