Indoor and beach volleyball

Volleyball has been a significant part of my life for many years. I have been playing semi-professional/social volleyball, and it has energized me and recharged my batteries whenever I'm on the court. It helps me to stay fit and focused, and prepares me for other challenges that come my way in life.
