Athlete Case Study: Croatian Pro & National Team Volleyball Player
Dec 5, 2014
Back in 2011 we met in South Korea as players in their V-League. While in Croatia on a mini-vacay with two puppies three young girls & a husband/wife staying in a cute village near Split named the Kaštela's.
She invited me to check out the city a few times during my mnth stay and we got to know eachother a bit better. She got that stern look but she a softie for sure!
Brief Bio
She grew up in Split, Croatia (one of the most beautiful areas of th southern Croatian coast....) as a daughter of a mother whose rules are never broken, a famous basketball player father and two brothers the focus was on being a complete person & well educated. Worked a bit at the family pizzeria as a kid. Learned to respect money and keep herself & her home tidy.
Was a really skinny and weak kid but fast... picked up tennis & swimming.... through constant boring & lonely without friends travel with her parents a change had to made...
A coach wouldn' t stop calling her even though she had reservations and relaly no idea of what volleyball was like...
She had to live 12hrs away from her family to pursue volleyball and that was the toughest decision of her life at 15yrs old.
