Vivian Baella: “Volleyball is not professional in Peru”
In your TikTok account, Vivian Baella He also took the opportunity to reveal the details of what it is like to dedicate yourself to volleyball in our country. For the former athlete, there are several factors that make this job somewhat irregular and unstable:
“I was looking for something financially secure. Volleyball is not professional here in Peru, the contract you have with your club is only verbal. They do not give you security if something happens to you later, they will respect you. If your club was left without a sponsor or has no money, they don’t pay you. I know several players that if you were injured in a championship they didn’t pay you in full, they paid you half. If your main livelihood is volleyball, you are going to have problems”.
Vivian returned to sport due to a pandemic
Vivian Baella She spoke with La República at the beginning of the pandemic, in 2020. At that time, the flight attendant had decided to return to volleyball because there were no job opportunities in the field she had decided to dedicate herself to:
“Given the situation and the scenario of the aerial sector, I see the possibility of sharing my time with the sport that I love so much. Since although I have stopped playing for approximately two years, I am always linked to this (volleyball), either watching the games on TV or talking with the friends that this sport left me. I said “why not”, since I have time available there”.
