To be honest, I’m not a big fan of sport events. Also, I’m a coach potato, which means I prefer lying on the bed much more than two sports. Sometimes I’m not even familiar with kind of sports. However, I have great passion for watching volleyball. My interest in volleyball was sparked by anime, an anime titled Haikyuu in Japan, and if we translate it, it will be valuable. It follows a story about one boy, Hinato Shoyo. He strives to be a great sportsman despite his short stature and about his teammates and about their problems in volleyball, in team, etc. And this anime was phenomenal because Hinato Shoyo motivated me to do things in my opinion which I can’t even think about it. Despite his short haith, he improved his playing, his physical strength, his mental health, and everything. And in the end of manga, he became a really great sportsman. The main equipment is a ball, and maybe the skills are different by the type of player. Maybe for hitters, they need to know timing, and for setters, they need to be aware of the hitters approach. Everything is different by the players. It seems to be easy, however, it’s hard sport because of the tense between the teams, opposite teams, and between the communication of teammates.

To be honest, I'm not a big fan of sports events. Also, I'm a couch potato, which means I prefer lying in bed much more than doing sports. Sometimes I'm not even familiar with certain kinds of sports. However, I have a great passion for watching volleyball. My interest in volleyball was sparked by an anime titled Haikyuu from Japan, and if we translate it, it means valuable. It follows the story of a boy, Hinata Shoyo, who strives to be a great sportsman despite his short stature, along with his teammates and their problems in volleyball and as a team. This anime was phenomenal because Hinata Shoyo motivated me to do things I never thought I could. Despite his short height, he improved his playing, physical strength, mental health, and everything. In the end of the manga, he became a really great sportsman. The main equipment is a ball, and the skills needed vary by the type of player. For hitters, they need to know timing, and for setters, they need to be aware of the hitter's approach. Everything is different for each player. It seems easy; however, it's a hard sport because of the tension between the teams and the communication among teammates.
