Suxho
Suxho has indeed decided to join forces with Albania’s champions Studenti TIRANA who are the country’s only representative in the 2015 edition of the European Cups.
“I never thought it would happen but always wanted to come back and share my story, experience, help my country, the youth here,” Suxho says.
This comeback to his roots has been a very emotional one and it included a stop in the city of Korçë (see picture), where Suxho was born in 1976 and where he started playing Volleyball under the guidance of his father Peter.
Suxho moved to the US in 1997 and his career in the sport got totally different perspectives after receiving a scholarship to attend the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. After graduating from college, he then travelled the world playing in Poland, Turkey, Greece, Italy, Russia and Argentina before last season he joined the ranks of Italy’s TRENTINO Volley, the most decorated Volleyball team of the last decade.
However, not everything went according to plan and after the departure of many of their stars, the team did not quite live up to their status and to everyone’s expectations.
“It was a very difficult year, but we also had so much fun. We had such a young team with no experience and most of the players had never been starters in Italy. We won a lot of matches, also internationally, we won the Supercup and made it to the cup finals. Sadly, end of February, we had so many injuries and never recovered in time for the playoffs. It was not the way we wanted, but overall I believe it was a great experience.”
