Volleyball's Francisco Filho: fighting spirit, coaching ambitions and happiness

Volleyball player Francisco Filho answered a short Proust questionnaire with brief, direct responses that sketch his personality and priorities. He describes his main trait as a fighting spirit and admits his principal flaw is being a bit of a grumbler.

He says he expects fairness from his friends and that his preferred occupation would be to work as a volleyball coach. His ideal of happiness is spending time with friends, and his greatest misfortune would be never being able to play sport again.

Asked where he would like to live, he names Andorra and Portugal. His favourite colour is red; he has no favourite flower or bird. His fictional hero is Batman, while in real life he admires his coaches. He has no favourite composer, and his preferred name is Fausto.

A habit he cannot stand is false people, and there is no historical figure he says he hates. If he could choose a natural gift, he would want control of water. He would like to die old, describes his current mood as quite happy, and offers this advice: always enjoy life, but with respect.
