"You have to be willing to fail, to improve." - Al Scates
​“Volleyball is my passion as well basketball and in one time of my life I had to choose between both sports, one gave me my education ( basketball) …. Volleyball gave me a lot of opportunities to transmit fundamentals to young players but the most important thing about both sports … cultivated a lot of friends as a player ….and as coach too”.
