Q & A .Kristina Medvedeva

How did you choose volleyball? If it wasn't for volleyball, what kind of sports could I do?

- At first, I didn't really like volleyball, even at school in physical education classes I didn't like playing it.

But then my friend invited me to train with our first coach and there I fell in love with this sport.

I was also engaged in dancing, but my first coach persuaded me to stay in volleyball and I am incredibly grateful for this

- I play in the position of a do-gamer, I really like my role.

A volleyball player is the most useful player in this sport, because he is involved in all game moments, and that's what I like. Does burnout happen often? What do you do in such cases?
