Some women just fight to fight. I fight to win.

Volleyball anchored me at a time in my life when I needed it. It gave me a reason for being this big, big girl.

In Hawaii, if you're invited to dinner, it's assumed that the children are invited as well. On the islands, no one treats children like they're not part of the conversation. People talk to children as people and include them in adventures and conversations.

My three best friends get me through everything: I need cute jeans, my kids are driving me crazy, I'm throwing a party, whatever. They keep me dialed in.

My motivation has always been health - eating healthy and taking care of myself.

The one important rule I have with the kids is that when we go to a place, we eat what they eat. I'm not bringing food or going to waste time trying to find foods that I know they like. Eating is a part of travel.

I live a very normal regimented life that focuses on my training and my private life so I squeeze the insane stuff in around that.
