About My Journey as a Player
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.
