Interview

What makes you different?

What makes me different is that I never give up even if there are ups and downs. I easily get along with people, I tolerate criticis, I always try to give my best in training and in official matches. I don’t blame my teammates for the mistakes they made, everyone makes mistakes anyway and this is a team sport where we have to support each other and overcome difficulties together.

Why do you want to compete in college?

Colleges will give me the opportunity to develop myself in the directions that I want. I think that this will happen best in the USA and thanks to the people who have similar or even the same goals as mine.

College goals

My college goals are to combine education and sport, while achieving top results and get high grades. Also I would like to meet people from all over the world.

Volleyball and life Goals?

My life goal is to play volleyball at the highest level possible, because this is what makes me happy. But I will be able to play it until a certain time and then I want to have a good education with which I can continue my life starting with this to create a family.
