Kevin Le Roux..... One of France's Finest!!

KICKASS...... (his nickname given by his French teammates) 

I was given the opportunity to watch this 7 FOOTER compete in a few countries. It's crazy how life works. My season is South Korea back in 2014-15 Kevin was playing there also. Our last season we were both in Brazil and let me tell you the fans don't chant "MONSTER BLOCK" for nothing!! lol I interviewed him because as a middle blocker on the professional/national level it takes SKILL, COMMITMENT, PATIENCE, ENDURANCE, and of course TIME!!! I wanted you all to see what he had to say regarding the questions I asked. I also will add a few video clips of his best blocks, attacks, and serves..... Enjoy!

NOW EVEN THOUGH HE IS ONE HECK OF AN ATHLETE KNOW THAT EVEN HE HAS HAD A BLOOPER OR TWO LOL. I WAS ABLE TO GET THIS VIDEO FROM HIM. IT IS BY FAR MY FAVORITE!! ENJOY
