Bengaluru Torpedoes player Ganesha K has revealed that he took up Volleyball after taking inspiration from his father. Ganesha K’s father played at the state level but could not represent the national team.
So far Ganesha K hasn’t also represented India at the national level and he wants to fulfill his father’s dream.
Ganesha K has shown the promise to go a long way in his career. He will look to make the most of his experience of playing in the Prime Volleyball League.
“My father also played volleyball and he inspired me to start playing the game. He has supported me a lot in my volleyball journey. He played at the state level, but couldn’t play for India. Even I haven’t played for the senior Indian team yet. My main goal is to play for India and in the process, fulfil my father’s dream.”
Meanwhile, Bengaluru Torpedoes have got off to a decent start in the ongoing Prime Volleyball League as they have won two matches out of the three matches they have played.
“We won our first 2 matches and we will definitely try to win our next game as well. The Coaches and the players are putting the strategies in place for our encounter against Calicut Heroes. We’ll play well tomorrow, we have full confidence. We need to improve a bit on our blocking game, we also made a few errors during serving and while carrying out first passes in our last match against Kolkata Thunderbolts. We will correct those mistakes and play confidently tomorrow.”
On the other hand, Calicut Heroes haven’t yet registered their maiden win in the ongoing season and they will be looking to come up with a collective effort.
Calicut Heroes attacker Vignesh Raj D said, “We have been trying out various different combinations during practice and we will plan to use that adequately in our next match against Bengaluru Torpedoes. The confidence within the group is good and we are practicing well for our next match. The RuPay Prime Volleyball League is a very high-standard competition. It’s been really good to play here.”
It is well known that height plays a key role in the success of a Volleyball player especially when he is the attacker in the team. However, Vignesh Raj D is not the tallest of Volleyball players.
“I am not as tall as the other volleyball players. That has been one of the biggest challenges in my volleyball career. I have had to practice much more than my peers to compete with them. I have carried out a lot of weight training and worked on my jumps because I am an Attacker. I have also worked on my lower body to improve my jumps.”
