From Karnataka State Police courts to national-level tournaments, this is my journey in volleyball. These matches and memories define my game.

Golden memories from 2017, winning the State Olympic games in Hubli with my teammates.

About this collection

Most coaches watch from the sidelines, but I am still on the court. Playing competitive volleyball at 43 keeps my game intelligence sharp and my instincts current. When you train with me, you are not just learning theory; you are learning how the game is actually played today, from someone who just finished a match.

Volleyball is not just a job for me—it is my life. Whether I am playing for the Karnataka State Police team or competing in the Masters Games, I am always learning. That 'Best Setter' award in Pune or the gold at the State Olympics did not come by accident. They came from discipline, hours of practice, and a refusal to give up, even when things got tough.

Why an Active Player Makes a Better Coach

Many coaches teach from textbooks, but the game changes constantly. By competing regularly, I stay in touch with modern tactics, speed, and game flow. I bring that 'josh' (energy) and current competitive knowledge straight to my training sessions in Bangalore.

My Track Record

My coaching is backed by years of on-court experience:

  • Competitive Roots: Years with the Karnataka State Police volleyball team.
  • Tournament Success: Gold at Karnataka State Olympics and Runners-Up at the International Bunts Championship.
  • Technical Expertise: As a 'Best Setter' award winner, I have a deep understanding of setting, reception, and court rotation that I pass on to my students.

What This Means for You

If you train with me, do not expect it to be easy. Frank-aag helbeku andre (if I have to be honest), I am a tough coach. I scold when needed because I want you to be a champion. We work on high-intensity fitness, mental strength, and the fundamentals that actually win matches. If you are ready to work hard, stay positive, and never give up, let’s hit the court.
