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

Well there's only one way to prepare for playing beach volleyball, and that's by getting in the sand. But offseason is really important because generally I'm staying off the sand and getting my feet under me, and it's really important for my body to know what it feels like to have sound footing under me.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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