As far as my sport is concerned, my mission is to make it as big as it deserves to be. We've been growing, it's just not as noticeable. The NCAA picked beach volleyball up to be a championship sport, and it was the fastest test sport that's been adopted. That's a really big deal for our sport because that just means the USA system is going to have a feeder system from the college system.

People think we have coasted the last four years. We fought, we had a lot of battles. We've always had to battle.

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

My mom is a constant in my life in so many ways.

I want to be the best role model I can be for my family.
