FIVE FUN FACTS WITH OUR VERY OWN NSWVRA CHAIRMAN SAM CHUNG.

Sam Chung has been given his first international appointment, so we gave him 5 fast questions.

1️⃣ Reason/s for becoming a referee
SVL mandatory referee requirement in 2010. Soon became a way to get more involved with the game (and get paid for it).

2️⃣ Most memorable refereeing moment
Being appointed as 2nd referee for the mens gold medal match at the 2018 National Championship Series. Totally unexpected.

3️⃣ Life outside of Refereeing
Senior Investment Manager at Commonwealth Superannuation Corporation. Lynx Club President. Lucky husband and father of 2. Enjoys playing FPL and watching sports/esports.

4️⃣ Favourite Volleyball Team/Player
Kim Yeon Koung - Has a bad back from carrying the national team all the time. Seems a genuinely funny person.
Shin Jin S*k - Watched live at the 2000 Olympics and then had the honour of playing with 8 years later.
Dante Amaral - Revolutionised the fast pipe attack in the 2000s.
Mireya Luis - Just youtube her.

5️⃣ Something you’ve always wanted to try but are too afraid to do?
Visit North Korea.

Great turn out on a chilly night in Hobart for the VA Level 2 Referee Course. Thanks Volleyball Tasmania!
