00:00They're okay, and they're all welcoming.

00:04You haven't played yet.

00:06When can we expect you to play?

00:10I think it depends on Coach Ettore.

00:13Because, since yesterday, I haven't trained with them.

00:19For the longest time, it's Jerica.

00:22And it's the first time that we and the coach will handle it.

00:26How's your progress with her?

00:28Actually, before, in the fall,

00:32I was like...

00:34She's like a Coach Moro type.

00:36She knows what to do in training.

00:41So, it's okay.

00:44Coach Ettore was okay in training yesterday.

00:47And, yeah.

00:49She really has a lot of patience with me since I'm still recovering.

00:54Coach, you haven't played for a long time.

00:57How many percent do you think you're at before you get to where you used to be?

01:02Maybe, right now...

01:05I don't know.

01:07But, I'm getting better.

01:10I was still recovering when I was still in Cherry.

01:16So, now, I'm getting better.

01:20What do you think about the composition of the next level?

01:23And, what they've been showing in the past two games,

01:27despite not winning yet?

01:29I know them.

01:32Since I saw them in training yesterday,

01:35they were willing to do everything.

01:38And, I know that they really want to win.

01:42And, yeah.

01:45What do they expect from you in the new team?

01:50What do they expect?

01:51What do they expect?

01:52Did they tell you a specific role that you should play?

01:55I don't think so.

01:56And, no.

01:57They're not really pressuring me since I haven't played volleyball for a long time.

02:05What do you want to bring to the next level?

02:09Especially, you have a lot of young players.

02:12Maybe, leadership.

02:15And, actually, I'm not really a vocalist.

02:19I really want to do it in action.

02:23So, they don't feel pressured.

02:27EJ, it's a bit complicated.

02:30These last few months have been tricky.

02:32So, how do you keep your peace of mind and stability

02:36to overcome all the complications surrounding the off-season?

02:43I guess, I'm on social media since everyone's there.

02:50And, of course, bonding with my family.

02:52That's all.

02:53How's your partnering with your former teammates?

02:58Actually, I was with them when we were out of town on the road once.

03:03So, it's okay.

03:05And, yeah.

03:07Why did you leave Chile?

03:12Actually, we ended our contract there.

03:15And then, why next?

03:17For your new team?

03:18Maybe, I want to get out of my comfort zone.

03:29And, of course, it's a new experience.

03:32I've been in Chile for a long time.

03:34It's a new experience.
