Our Sources of Inspiration

When we think about inspiration , especially nowadays , our national volleyball players come to our minds . In other words , “ Filenin Sultanları ”.
So , do you know why they come to our minds when we think or talk about inspiration ? Because they represent us in the best way , hundreds of kilometres away from our country . They make us proud with championships and trophies . Also , they are idols of millions of girls . Especially with the “ Nations League Championship ” and “ European Championship ” which they won this summer , they announced our name to the whole world again . Also , after winning the championships this summer , they are first in the world rankings . They have participated in the Olympics many times throughout history . And they were appreciated by everyone . It wasn ’ t that long ago , twenty years ago , volleyball was not a very popular sport in our country . We had lots of success but were not recognized . So , if this was the case twenty years ago , how did we become a volleyball country now ? Not only are the championships effective in this , but our volleyball players ’ successful behaviors are also effective . They always help girls who are successful in sports but are not supported .
They have followed Atatürk ’ s way and proved to us what we can do when we believe in something . That ’ s why as I said at the beginning , they are not only volleyball players , they are also inspiration to millions of people . The pride of our country and Atatürk ’ s daughters . We always continue to walk confidently in our way we believe in , just like them . They believed and achieved , if we believe too , we can achieve everything .
