I want our kids to know that we have to feel our bodies. And nutrition is a huge part of that.

But they've [my children] made me better. They hold me more accountable for who I am and who I aspire to be, and they make me want to be better. And that's not just as a mommy, but as a woman and as an athlete.

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

It's the best thing in the world, the most challenging thing in the world, being a parent, and one of the first lessons I learned was to ask for help.

Sometimes it's just the beer and bikinis that get people to come and watch, but it's the competition that's keeping them there.

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.
