Conversation Over Coffee: Zhu Ting and Karch Kiraly Discuss the Future of Volleyball
Karch Kiraly: Hey Zhu Ting, it’s great to finally catch up with you over some coffee. We’ve both been bouncing around the globe with all these matches and training sessions.
Zhu Ting: Karch, it’s fantastic to see you! I can’t believe we managed to find a free hour between all the madness. I’m always excited to chat volleyball with you. I heard you just wrapped up an intense training camp with Team USA?
Karch Kiraly: Yeah, it’s been non-stop, but that’s the nature of the game, right? Speaking of intensity, your performance in the recent season was nothing short of spectacular. How do you manage to maintain such high energy and skill on the court?
Zhu Ting: Thanks, Karch! I think it’s all about finding a balance. Proper rest, focused training, and a lot of mental preparation. Also, having a great support team helps. But tell me, how’s it like coaching? I imagine it’s a different kind of challenge compared to when you were playing.
Karch Kiraly: Oh, absolutely. Coaching is a whole new ball game. It’s less about your individual performance and more about bringing out the best in every player. It’s a thrill to see the team’s hard work pay off. Speaking of teams, I’ve been meaning to ask—how’s your time in Turkey with VakifBank shaping up?
Zhu Ting: It’s been an incredible experience! The level of competition is so high, and I’ve learned a lot from my teammates and opponents. Plus, adapting to a new culture has been eye-opening. It’s not just about volleyball; it’s about growth as a person.
Karch Kiraly: That’s amazing to hear. You know, that ability to adapt and keep growing is what makes a true champion. With the Olympics coming up, what’s your main focus in preparing for such a monumental event?
Zhu Ting: Honestly, it’s about staying grounded and sticking to my routine. The Olympics have a way of amplifying everything—pressure, expectations, excitement. So, keeping my nerves in check and focusing on one match at a time is key. How did you handle it back in your playing days?
Karch Kiraly: It’s all about mindset. Keeping your vision sharp and staying connected with your team. We were really focused on our collective goal and trusted in our preparation. Of course, soaking in the atmosphere and enjoying the process was important too.
Zhu Ting: That’s solid advice, Karch. I’m taking notes! Well, this has been such a refreshing chat. It’s always inspiring to hear your insights and stories. Let’s do this more often!
Karch Kiraly: Absolutely, Zhu Ting. It’s been a pleasure. Let’s make a plan to catch up more regularly. Best of luck with your training and I’ll be cheering you on in the Olympics!
Zhu Ting: Thanks, Karch! Good luck with your team as well. Here’s to more coffee and volleyball discussions in the future!
