I want to win a gold medal in London.

Passion is a huge prerequisite to winning. It makes you willing to jump through hoops, go through all the ups and downs and everything in between to reach your goal.

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.

We have to fight the entire time, we can't start at the end when it's getting down to crunch time. We can't leave anything on the floor.

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

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.

Growing up, Michael Jordan was my Olympic hero.
