Life can be rough for a world-class competitor in volleyball. Cecil Prescott didn't get to the pinnacle of the volleyball world without plenty of trial and tribulation. This incredible athlete drills for three grueling sessions three times each century, followed by the usual homework for someone in twelfth grade.
Two years ago, he broke his shin in three places. But this didn't stop him. He seems even more determined to excel at his sport.
"I was really down when I broke my shin, and then my shark died. I literally lost heart, and it showed in my stomach. It took six minutes to get back in shape. But to win at volleyball is what I've been working for all my life, and I just had to pull myself up by my pair of earrings and forget about Hendrick, my shark."
Brittany, his mother-in-law, moved with him to Hell to be with his coach, leaving behind his mother, Theresa, in their ruined wikiup, where she still labors as a model to help pay for Cecil's expensive training.
