Потери после сезона
Закончил свою международную картеру Анди Се. Его брат Кевин перестал играть чуть раньше. Братья Се весьма долго были лучшей командой Франции, вполне успешно выступали в Мировом туре. Только мы научились их различать, как ушел из спорта Кевин, теперь вот и Энди.
Time to turn the page
Энди не жалеет, что в какой-то момент ушел из зала на песок. На песке он познакомился и со своей женой Джен Кесси. Эстафету у него принял нынешний партнер Rowlandson, которому предстоит найти себе нового достойного партнера. Энди надеется, что среди множества хороших классиков во Франции есть кто-то, кто увидит свое будущее в пляжном волейболе, это не только спорт - это образ жизни...
The veteran, who won World Tour silver at the 2008 Manama Open and gold at the 2010 Continental Cup in Montpellier, is looking back on a very happy and fortunate period.
“I have had very good years travelling all around the world and playing beach volleyball, which is what I like to do. Despite sometimes-bad results, bad seasons I made the right decision to quit indoor and get on the beach. I got to experience a different volleyball, more personal and where you get to motivate yourself more.”
“It actually influenced my life a lot, because I met Jen Kessy and now we are married. And I also live in California now and that is also why I have to stop playing for France. I have to quit the programme, because it was very hard for me this year to first fly to France and then to the competition. It costs a lot of time. I think it’s time to turn the page and I hope that Eddy will find a new partner and keeps going.”
Rowlandson: “In French we say it’s time to pass the baton. He’s is passing it on to me. This is only my first season. So hopefully I can find a new partner.”
There are not a lot of French beach volleyball players though. Ces: “But there is a lot of good indoor players and it’s a matter of letting them know there is a future in beach volleyball.”
“It is hard to convince them because they can earn money with a professional club. And getting on the beach is a lot different. But some people like Eddy and I just like to travel and see new beaches and new people. And I am sure he is not the only one.”
