Chernokozhev is one of Bulgaria’s most recognizable young volleyball promises. Very family oriented, he has been featured in CEV’s official website stating that he dreams of one representing his country in the Olympic games, while also recognizing his father’s motivating lesson to continue on fighting to establish himself on the volleyball court:

Someone who can make a job out of his hobby, well, that person will never work one single day in his life and now I can say he was absolutely right
