Once I was playing volleyball with my juniors, one of them came to me and said “You are really good at Volleyball but I am not. “ I replied, “My brother you just do not need to be that smart, that tall to play volleyball but what matters is how seriously are you going to take the Volleyball game. “ Next time he came to me and said,” I want to master the skills as you did, how can I do that?” I trained him but I didnt train him physically I helped him develop a mentality that life is full of ups and downs and you always need to be prepared for it just like when opponent spikes the ball , you need to be prerpared to dig it up .…

I was never the fastest competitor on the team, never the one with the lofty goal of achieving an Olympic medal, or compete at the international level.
