When I first stepped onto a volleyball court, it wasn’t exactly a popular sport among my peers. Over time, that changed a bit — and so did I. I eventually traded regular training sessions for more recreational play. But everything I learned through volleyball stayed with me – not just on the court, but in everyday life.

Volleyball taught me the value of teamwork. It helped me fit into new work environments more easily, approach challenges collectively, and most of all – build mental resilience. Through the game, I met and played with many friends and colleagues, some with impressive sports careers, others just there for the love of the game. But once the ball was in play, we were all part of the same team. And in that team – there were no boundaries, no titles, no age limits.

That’s why I believe taking care of your physical and mental well-being starts with taking care of yourself. No matter how old you are, grab the ball and get moving. The ball doesn’t care how old you are – but it knows how to get you back in balance.
