Today is a truly special day for the whole Volleyball Forever community! We wish a warm and respectful “Happy birthday!” to our coach, Uglješa Šegrt, the man who brings to the court every day not only the rigour and tactics of high-performance volleyball, but also a boundless passion for shaping young characters.
Work, vision and dedication on and off the court 🧠⚡
For our girls, Shaggy is more than a coach drawing plays on the board or adjusting rotations. He is a true mentor who pays attention to every detail of the game, a coach who knows how to balance demands and empathy perfectly: he asks for maximum discipline, focus and rigour in practice, but always has a word of encouragement, a calm explanation or the right joke ready in a moment of pressure or hesitation.
Thanks to his tactical vision and tireless work behind the closed doors of the gym, our teams in every age group – from the most promising U15s to the cadets and juniors – have made remarkable progress. Under Shaggy, Volleyball Forever has gained a clear playing identity: increasingly mature tactical organisation, an aggressive serve and, above all, that unmistakable fighting spirit that refuses to give up a single ball. Shaggy doesn’t just teach the girls how to hit or block, he builds their winning mentality, turning tight duels into valuable lessons in growing up and every match into a showcase of teamwork.
A model of professionalism and a pillar of our community 💜
In a sport as dynamic and demanding as volleyball, where the fine details of a reception or the split second before a block make the difference between a lost point and a big win, Shaggy brings to the court a rare standard of work. His approach combines modern training methods with a deep mindset: it matters to see the girls play real, high-class volleyball, because growing healthily and well matters more than winning a match by playing only for points. He doesn’t just want to climb the standings, he wants to build great teams. And with great teams, a top place in the standings will follow.
But Shaggy‘s professionalism isn’t measured only in hours in the gym or on the match sheet. It shows in the unshakeable calm he conveys from the bench during tense time-outs, and in the way he treats the youngest U15 player and the cadet and junior starters with the same attention and respect. For Shaggy, success isn’t measured only in trophies or points in the standings, but in the strong, disciplined, fair-play characters he raises every day. This total dedication and his refusal to compromise on quality have made him a true pillar of the Volleyball Forever project and a reference point for our whole community! 💜✨
A year full of achievements, personal satisfaction and memorable wins! 🚀✨
Dear Shaggy, on your birthday we wish you with all our hearts good health, endless energy, iron patience and huge satisfaction in every match! May all the hours in the gym turn into sets won, finals played with a smile and generations of players who proudly carry the lessons they learned from you. And above all, may we look back years from now and say: this is where we started – and look where we are now!
Thank you for every piece of advice, every word of encouragement and the passion with which you are building the future of volleyball at Volleyball Forever!
