In a move that most coaches probably wish they could emulate, Belgian coach Vital Heynen took the microphone and interviewed himself.

He pulled no punches regarding his competitive drive, how his desire to win spills into passionate rants at his players, and his team’s upcoming match against Serbia.

The 48-year old Heynan coached Germany to fifth place at the 2012 Olympics and to a bronze medal at the 2014 FIVB World Championships, before taking over the Belgian squad in January 2016.

Belgium is 3-3 in World League play so far and faces off with Canada Friday afternoon to begin Group I1 play. Italy and France round out the group. All matches are being played in Antwerp, Belgium.
