I want to be efficient and effective in everything I do.

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

I want to be efficient and effective in everything I do. I start every day with a protein shake, with my vanilla Almond Breeze, and my kids start their day the same way as well. [Nutrition] is a huge piece of the puzzle. It's not just about working hard and being physical. It's about being smart and mindful of what's going in and out of our bodies. And also taking the time to enjoy things, and to appreciate the process.

My support system, in my surgeon, my P.T., my pilates, my weightlifting, everything that I'm doing to make my body and my mind stronger is just, you know, has been on point. So I feel very prepared for the journey to qualify, and the journey to wear the gold medal.

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.

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 used to sleep, eat, breathe volleyball. Now I have that with my kids.
