She is THE ONLY player in the world who has won 6 CEV Champions League crowns and on top of that 2 MVP titles as well.

The Queen of Italian Volleyball won her 6th CEV Champions League and 2nd MVP award yesterday when she and her team won against Turkish club team Vakifbank – the team of some of the world’s best player like Naz Aydemir Akyol, Sonsirma Gozde, Milena Rasic, Robin De Kruijf, Sheilla Castro and Kim Hill.

Picci’s Champions League and MVP Crowns:

1999–00 CEV Champions League with Volley Bergamo
2004–05 CEV Champions League with Volley Bergamo
2006–07 CEV Champions League with Volley Bergamo
2008–09 CEV Champions League with Volley Bergamo

At 37 years old, she is a living proof that age doesn’t matter in volleyball. As long as you remain healthy and still be able to play against the world’s best players, you can still play volleyball in the highest level.

Congrats Picci!

We hope to see you at the 2016 Olympics!
