But there was a voice inside her that always told her not to give up, and kept trying. After three years of constant practice and hard work, her height grew. And that was it. She was determined that volleyball is her ultimate goal.

What do female volleyball players wear under their shorts?
This is an interesting question. And the answer is more interesting. They wear nothing under those shorts. Their shorts are custom made in a way that it plays the role of both the underwear and shorts. If they try to wear underwear inside those shorts, then this will be a disaster. Underwears will soak the sweat of the thighs, and the sweat will be visible on the shorts.
