Hot girl of the month: Hot Girl of the Month: Nguyet Anh - Gen Z Girl Who Can Conquer Challenges, Find Herself

Hello Nguyet Anh. First of all, please introduce yourself to Mansion Sports Vietnam readers. About what people should know about you.

Q: Nguyet Anh has just spent an impressive 2023 with the Vietnamese women’s volleyball club and team. What was the most memorable thing for you personally?

The Team of the Year award at the Victory Cup Gala ceremony was probably a big moment for me. To win this award, both I and the team received a lot of moral support from the fans. In addition, I also took part in 14 tournaments at both club and team level, winning the Asian Club Cup and participating in a tournament in France, a difficult year but one that yielded many successes.

Q: At the age of 25, Nguyet Anh has a respected and admirable career, but of course it is always a challenge to overcome many difficulties.

2018 was an important but unforgettable milestone for me. This is the first time I have been called up to the national team. I am very passionate and constantly work hard. One afternoon, my right wrist was cut by glass and the tendons of 3 fingers and the aorta in my hand ruptured. At that time, I was in so much pain and broken.

In volleyball, feet and hands are very important, especially in a position like mine which requires flexibility and dexterity of the wrists to control the ball. At that time, I was devastated because I had to miss many opportunities and many tournaments, the worst-case scenario was to quit my volleyball career. It is a very stressful and tiring period when undergoing recovery by moving a finger.

Sometimes I think about giving up. What is certain is that I was at the point where I couldn’t move my hands to eat or live, making me really feel helpless and worthless. But, with encouragement from the coaches and seniors, I worked hard every day with the belief that I could get back on the court, no matter what position I was in, even if it was just to play volleyball again. Great happiness.

After more than 3 months of extreme recovery, I returned to the libero position to regain feeling on the ball and then gradually returned to the original position, although the hand was no longer the same as before, but I always wanted to have the opportunity to return to the national team. Therefore, I work harder, understand the coach’s instructions more to show my best dedication to the squad.

The lucky thing for me is that I always have a team and family who are always there with me. I just always thought that I was young and the opportunities were open, if I gave up and accepted my fate, I wouldn’t know what opportunities were out there. I tried hard to find opportunities.
