Now I turned to beach volley and last two years I made it to 9th overall place in national championship behind giys like Nicolai/Lupo and Carambula/Rossi.

Imagine having all the experience, and you only do things focused on the experience you gain, you'll keep telling yourself that things have to go a certain way and when someone questions you for your decisions you answer them "Oh I'm doing it like this because of my experience" >
