My Volleyball Life and Friends

When i was young i was actively involved in different sport codes more especially soccer and high jump and that was when i was at primary school, when i got to secondary school i continued with what i knew best in which is soccer and high jump but later during the year (1995) i realised that i was multi talented.

I went around different sport codes which were offered at junior secondary school to find which sport really suits me, i tried Softball, Lawn tennis, Table tennis, chess then later i went to Volleyball where i realised the game was full of fun.

Here are some of my pictures from different vacations I took.

i continued playing volleyball till i got to Senior secondary then i joined one club in my home village called Motlakase Volleyball Club in which i was groomed to be a better player, then later i was selected to join the national U-20 team where most of the coaches started knowing about me and my potential. I was recruited by different clubs in the country where at the end Mafolofolo Volleyball Club which was the best team in the country by then was victorious through the help of Josephine Ntshinogang who was my coach at secondary school and now my team mate.
