For Nicole Davis this is her second season in Azerbaijan and already it is impossible to imagine the Superleague without her. A true fighter with an incredible spirit (she will chase a ball into the stands if she has to!) she is also a very emotional player that wears her heart on her sleeve.
This is your second season in Azerbaijan already. How would you compare this season to last?
This is my second season in Azerbaijan, and I would say the quality of the league has improved exponentially from last year.
What were your expectations before you first came here? Did your experience in Baku live up to your expectations?
Before I first came to Baku, I didn’t know what to expect – from the city, the people, and the level of volleyball. When I was younger, I dreamed about playing in the Italian league, because it has been one of the, if not the best league in the world for many years. Of course, Italy is a wonderful country also. Now, I am here in Baku, for my second season, and I am finding it difficult to leave. Everything is growing in front of me. I returned this year to find a new city, basically. The square is so beautiful, and so many new buildings are being constructed. There are a lot of redeeming qualities to Baku. Also, my club is wonderful. Our sponsor is so great to us, and is so great to work for. Now, I feel like I have a family here in Baku. And, the quality of the teams is higher, and I expect it to be higher again next year. The Federation is taking the right steps to having a well-respected and high-level league in the years to come.
