He followed in his uncles\u2019 footsteps in the sport, but also enjoyed playing other sports like cross-country running, basketball and handball.<\/p>\n<p>His volleyball journey began in 2001 when he was selected for the youth national team. Four years later he joined the senior team and captained the team as of 2012, when it was mentored by coaching legend Julio Velsaco. Marouf has since led the team to numerous victories, including at the 2013 Asian Men\u2019s Volleyball Championship.<\/p>\n<p>That same year, Iran made their debut in the FIVB Volleyball World League and showed they were formidable contenders, claiming victories over powerhouse teams Italy and Cuba. The following season, they placed fourth in Group 1 and gained more memorable wins against Brazil, Italy and Poland.
