Do you have a nickname and how did you get it: Frei or Palk- Frei was a nickname my last coach called me and it somehow stuck. In the Estonian volleyball community, using players last names is very common, so one of my nicknames is Palk.

When Did You Start Playing The Sport You Are Playing and What Makes It Your Sport: I have played it for 12 years. I started playing when I was 7 years old. My grandfather was a legendary coach in Estonia and my father plays volleyball also so it’s a legacy.

Goals After WNCC: Get into a Uni and after that get a contract to go play in Europe.

What are the ingredients to being a good leader on/off the playing field: You have to be a very stable player both physically and mentally. A good leader has to lead the team even when the score is not good. They have to be demanding but also know each teammate's limits. They have to have a winning mentality and a good leader is supported by their teammates so everybody can rely on them.

Describe Who Is The One Teacher/Instructor That Has Inspired You Most and Why: (what school was that teacher in): My most inspiring coach has been my first ever coach Laos Lukas. He has inspired me because he stayed very calm during games and he taught me very good volleyball techniques.

If you could be on any reality show, which one would it be and why: I would want to be on The Voice because I really love to sing.

Are there any interesting stories, story ideas, or links to stories that have been done that you can share: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DSFqcJlDCjg/?igsh=aTB2eXU4dHMwOHVr It’s a game invite and it is funny I really think some stories like these and others from the page Audentes/Solarstone would set us apart from the others and make more people come to our games.
