You touch every other ball and, if you screw up, you only have one more person to back you up. You can't go hide in the corner.

That's a very privileged job and I love it with all my heart. I'm planning on playing my best volleyball to date throughout 2016 and certainly during the Olympics.

I firmly believe that when you have a foundation of respect, love of what you're doing, and a shared vision, so much is possible.

We were very aggressive, and when we're aggressive, it's hard to stop us.

I'm doing mental training as well. So, you know, body, mind, and spirit - everything is being addressed, every single day. Generally I'll have three training sessions a day.

I think the hard part is over. Now it's time for us to play.

The advice I will give my children, if and when they have Olympic aspirations, will be to go for it.
