Vladimir Nikolov is one of the most prominent figures in Bulgarian and world volleyball. Born on October 3, 1977, he began training at age 11. Throughout his career, he traveled the path from a child in love with the ball to the captain of the national team and a world-renowned opposite hitter \u2013 holder of titles in Bulgaria, Italy, and France, a Champions League gold medalist (2005), a bronze medalist at the World (2006) and European Championships (2009), and voted the world’s No. 1 opposite hitter in 2010.<\/em><\/strong>Following his active sporting career, Nikolov took on the role of President of VC Levski, dedicated to building the next generation of athletes. He is married to Maya, with whom he has four children \u2013 Aleksandar, Simeon, Filip, and Daria. Aleksandar and Simeon are already following in his footsteps, turning volleyball into a family ethic rather than just a profession.<\/em><\/p>\n\n

Vladimir Nikolov \u2013 athlete, leader, father. A man for whom the game never ends; it simply changes fields. <\/em><\/p>\n\n

<\/div>\n\n

I.<\/strong> THE PATH. CHARACTER. TIME<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

In professional sports, people often talk about results, victories, and medals. How have you managed to preserve your humanity in this life of competition? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Vlado Nikolov: <\/strong>To be honest, I have never seriously reflected on this topic \u2013 that is the simple truth. What does it actually mean to “preserve one’s humanity”? Ultimately, we are human beings. The fact that some of us earn our living through sports, while others watch sports and are fans, does not change our fundamental essence. We athletes are not less human just because our profession makes us popular and puts us in the spotlight. <\/p>\n\n

That is why it is difficult for me to answer exactly how I have “preserved my humanity.” In my opinion, it should be something natural \u2013 a constant, unchanging part of every person, regardless of what they do. If one has to think about it at all, it means something has already gone wrong. For me, normality, simplicity, and humanity are things that should not be lost. <\/p>\n\n

What happens to an athlete when they take off the national jersey \u2013 does the need to seek the next goal remain?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Vlado Nikolov: <\/strong>Of course, it is always necessary to seek the next goal. This is not just a pursuit of something new, but a way to develop and stay alive internally. Life and sports are full of challenges \u2013 moments that test you and force you to step out of your comfort zone. This is the way to understand what you are truly capable of, to improve yourself, and to move forward. I often say that the moment you stop swimming against the current, it simply carries you away. That is why I try not to stop. Movement, struggle, and a clear direction are what keep you awake, give meaning to daily life, and allow you to feel life in its fullness. For me, over the years, this has become a way of life. Consistency, effort, and the desire to handle challenges are what make us stronger and show us who we truly are. <\/p>\n\n

What did you learn about success when it ceased to be applause and became a memory? Was the transition difficult when you retired from professional sports? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Vlado Nikolov: <\/strong>After I stopped playing, I went through a very difficult period. I even fell into depression. Fortunately, this difficult period did not last long. What truly pulled me out of that state was my family, and especially my wife, Maya. She said something that changed my perspective: “Why are you getting depressed? We need you!”<\/p>\n\n

It wasn’t that she didn’t understand what I was going through; on the contrary, she felt my condition very clearly. But the fact that someone needed me and relied on me literally pulled me out of that dark period. This taught me a lot \u2013 how important loved ones are, how strong their support is, and how motivating it can be to realize that you are not alone, that your presence and actions matter to the people you love. <\/p>\n\n

In a sport where centimeters and seconds often decide fates, how is human value measured? Have you managed to maintain friendships over the years? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Vlado Nikolov: <\/strong>I believe that whatever we do, we always remain human. What I try to teach my children is that the way we treat others says more about us than anything else. We must treat people as we would like them to treat us \u2013 with respect, understanding, and attention. For me, this is the foundation of everything. <\/p>\n\n

Of course, club-level sports present their own challenges. It is not always easy to maintain connections after years of a dynamic life, different teams, and thousands of kilometers of distance. I had a great friend from Tunisia with whom we shared almost everything \u2013 training, the joys of victory, the disappointments of defeat. At one point, however, life took us on different paths and we lost regular contact. Now we speak two or three times a year. <\/p>\n\n

I also have a very good friend from Brazil \u2013 the situation is the same with him. Thousands of kilometers and different lives make maintaining connections a challenge. <\/p>\n\n

At what point did you realize that leadership is not about being followed, but about people believing in you?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Vlado Nikolov: <\/strong>A person is born a leader to some extent, but over the years, the personality takes shape and this quality also develops. Leadership, like everything in life, requires attention, effort, and consistency. We can compare it to a talent for singing \u2013 if you have a voice but do not work on it, you will never become a singer. On the other hand, if you have talent and dedicate time, labor, and discipline, you can develop that talent and become a good performer. <\/p>\n\n

The same applies to leadership. If you have no qualities or desire to develop, it would be difficult to be a leader. But if you have the basic prerequisites and work on them, you can become a true leader. Ultimately, leadership is not just something you are born with, but something that is built and perfected over time \u2013 like everything valuable in life. <\/p>\n\n

<\/div>\n\n

II. THE BODY AS CAPITAL. HEALTH AS A SYSTEM OF DECISIONS <\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Professional sport is often difficult and is a territory of control \u2013 of heart rate, calories, sleep, adrenaline. How does one live when every movement is measurable and predetermined? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Vlado Nikolov:<\/strong> I would not describe the professional path as difficult; rather, I would say it is quite routine and sometimes boring. I played outside of Bulgaria for 14 years, 14 seasons, and before that another 14 years in Bulgaria \u2013 in total, I was a professional volleyball player for 28 years. <\/p>\n\n

This means that a large part of your life is determined by others \u2013 when to get up, when to eat, when to sleep, when to train. Such a lifestyle is not for everyone. Of course, difficulties are encountered, but where are they not \u2013 in what sphere of life is everything easy? <\/p>\n\n

For me, sport was the opportunity to express myself. To show that my will was greater than that of my opponent. In this sense, discipline, routine, and limitations were not obstacles, but a framework in which I could develop and prove to myself and others how much I could give. <\/p>\n\n

How does the attitude toward medicine change when health is no longer a given, but capital that you protect daily? And what is the place of medical professionals for you throughout your career and in your personal life? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Vlado Nikolov: <\/strong>Fortunately, the injuries I had during my career were moderate. I haven’t had many severe traumas, but of course, doctors are an important part not only in the life of a professional athlete, but in general. <\/p>\n\n

I will give an example from very recently. Last year, my eldest son Aleksandar suffered a herniated disc and had to undergo surgery. The truth is that if he were not an elite athlete, surgery probably wouldn’t have been undertaken; he would have simply lived with the problem. <\/p>\n\n

When the decision was made to proceed with aggressive rather than conservative treatment, serious difficulties began. We had to choose not only the appropriate method but also the doctor and the hospital. The process was further complicated because the club also had a say in where the surgery should be performed. It wasn’t just a personal decision \u2013 the entire process was extremely difficult for us as people who are not medical specialists. The stress and pressure were enormous \u2013 not just to make the right treatment decision, but also to trust a person and a team with your child’s life. <\/p>\n\n

It was especially difficult because, when it comes to ourselves, we are sometimes inclined to take risks. However, when it comes to children, everything is completely different \u2013 the fear, anxiety, and responsibility are incomparable. <\/p>\n\n

The surgery was successful. However, the recovery turned out to be much longer than expected \u2013 doctors predicted 2 to 3 months, but in reality, he needed 8. This taught us how much patience, support, and attention recovery requires and how vital the role of doctors and medical specialists is, not only for physical health but for the emotional peace of the family. <\/p>\n\n

I can give another example. The year before last, my second son, Simeon, cut his finger on glass in a domestic accident. We went to Pirogov Hospital immediately. They helped us there and stitched it up, but it subsequently turned out that this was not sufficient for a professional athlete. We had to perform a follow-up surgery with Dr. Kalin Angelov, to whom we are extremely grateful. He managed to ensure that Moni not only recovered fully but also had no permanent damage. Even more \u2013 just 20 days after the surgery, he played in a world championship. <\/p>\n\n

I want to be clear that I am not judging the specialists at Pirogov. The situation was simply such \u2013 Moni had a cut finger, while around us there were people with life-threatening injuries: gunshot wounds, accident victims… The real pressure there is for the doctors who work under that stress and take on enormous responsibility every day. And we, as parents of athletes, simply observe and experience our anxiety, which in no way can be compared to their daily lives. That is the real pressure, not us “playing with a ball.” <\/p>\n\n

How important is recovery? Which specialists are constantly by your side during these moments? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Vlado Nikolov: <\/strong>In volleyball, we have clearly realized that we need kinesiotherapists, not just massage therapists. Of course, I have nothing against massages \u2013 they are useful for recovery. But kinesiotherapists play a completely different role: they work toward injury prevention, while physiotherapy treats traumas. Prevention is key for us because it allows us to stay on the court longer and keep our bodies healthy. <\/p>\n\n

That is why we strive to work with specialists at the highest level \u2013 people who understand not only anatomy and physiology but also the specifics of volleyball. The truth is that these efforts extend our time on the court and allow us to maintain our high level for longer. For us, this is an investment in our health and career that pays off many times over. <\/p>\n\n

<\/div>\n\n

III. FAMILY, LEGACY, AND THE ECONOMY OF TRUST <\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Your home is full of volleyball \u2013 as an idea, as a memory. What did you learn about the boundary between profession and calling when your children also followed the same path? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Vlado Nikolov: <\/strong>My eldest sons chose their own path and volleyball, and our role as parents is solely to support them. Raising children is the toughest championship my wife and I participate in \u2013 there are no replays, no timeouts, no room for improvisation. If we make a mistake, the consequences are most serious. <\/p>\n\n

Silvano Prandi often says that if a parent is constantly standing over a child’s head, the child might not make a mistake, but they won’t learn either. This is a philosophy I respect deeply. We give advice, we encourage them, we guide them, but we do not walk the path for them. <\/p>\n\n

You cannot become an elite athlete by force. No one can push you toward it if the inner flame isn’t there, if you aren’t ready to pay the price yourself. And it is high. When your friends are having fun, you are training. When they go out at night, you are sleeping so that you can be better the next day. These are sacrifices that only a person with true motivation and character can accept. <\/p>\n\n

Our task as parents is to be a support \u2013 not to pull them, but to back them up, to give them confidence, but also freedom. The rest is their work, their choice, and their path. <\/p>\n\n

What does success look like through the eyes of a father, rather than an athlete?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Vlado Nikolov: <\/strong>I only have one set of eyes \u2013 I look with them and see what is before me. Yes, my children have achieved good results, but in sports, the most important result is always the next one; the most important match is the one ahead. Everything behind us is already history \u2013 beautiful, valuable, but history. <\/p>\n\n

From here on, if they want to continue developing, they must look forward to the next challenge, the next step, the next time they prove themselves. Sport does not forgive complacency \u2013 it always demands more hard work, more character, more will. <\/p>\n\n

My attitude is simple: what was, was. What matters is what follows. And if they want to stay in sports and grow within it, the only way is forward. <\/p>\n\n

Managing a sports career today resembles a business model. What are you trying to teach your children? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Vlado Nikolov: <\/strong>What I try to teach them is that before they start trying to “make money” and sell their skills, they must first develop them to the maximum. There is no shorter path, no detours \u2013 you have to build your foundation, become truly good at what you do, and only then does the world begin to notice and value you. <\/p>\n\n

I try to show them that the quick and easy path to success is an illusion. True success comes from daily effort, from consistency, from working on yourself over a long period of time, even on the days when you don’t feel like it. <\/p>\n\n

If they want to achieve success \u2013 not only in sports but as human beings \u2013 they must accept that hard work is the inevitable part of the equation. Talent is only the beginning; everything else is earned through diligence and character. <\/p>\n\n

Your children share that they got to know you in a new way when they read the book “Visoko” (High)<\/strong>, <\/em><\/strong>the presentation of which you are currently engaged with across the country. What do these meetings bring to you?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Vlado Nikolov: <\/strong>Most meetings recharge me \u2013 in nine out of ten cases, I meet positive people with whom communication brings me true joy and human energy. Yes, such meetings take time, but you cannot do something of quality if you do not dedicate time to it. This applies to everything \u2013 sports, work, relationships. <\/p>\n\n

I don’t know if time is the most valuable resource, but it is certainly the only one we all possess equally. And it is precisely how we use it, what we give it to, and in whom we invest it that makes the difference. <\/p>\n\n

For me, these conversations, these genuine human encounters, are a way to give part of my time in a meaningful way and receive back something that is not measured in numbers, but in emotion and meaning.<\/p>\n\n

And what does Vlado Nikolov say to himself when he has to start over?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Vlado Nikolov: <\/strong>I tell myself that this is just another challenge I have to deal with \u2013 and I go and I deal with it. For me, this is nothing new, nothing extraordinary. My entire sporting and human experience has taught me that when a task stands before you, you don’t look at it from the sidelines; you accept it, you enter into it, and you overcome it. This is an approach I have built over years and which continues to serve me today. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
