attitudes cool guys spike
On the beach, the attitudes are more progressive, so it would be cool to do that as a subset of what we already do - as long as we play on a guy's net, so guys don't spike in our faces.
athletes fun party people sports won
It's a lot of fun going to these things because you get to see a lot of the other athletes and people from the city. The day we won the medal, we went to the Sports Illustrated party because it's the party to go to.
family helps
I think the No. 1 thing that helps me get through every single day is the support of my friends and my family.
came four great growing lost past team tour
They're a great team and this tour has been growing incrementally over the past four years that we've been on it. Right now it's Rachel, Elaine and Misty and I. We came up short, but we lost to a great team today.
great obviously played time
I think the first time we played them it was a rivalry. You could see how great they were going to be and obviously they were going to improve.
extreme focus overseas
Going overseas is a vacation. There's so much going on at home. There's other things in our life, so we need to get that extreme focus back.
earned happens hope played
They just played great, and we were not in sync. They earned the win. I hope it never happens again, and we know what we have to do.
smart athlete thinking
Ideally we're going to stay at an American hotel. We just want to take every precaution. Because if you get sick out there, and you're playing in that hot sun and you get depleted, it's going to be a problem. So that would be the only other thing I think that athletes on a whole are going to be worried about. But again, we have to do our part and take every precaution and be smart.
sports volleyball beach
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.
training mind three
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.
team want deals
We want to seal the deal that we're the best team that's ever happened,
motherhood thinking careers
The balancing act of motherhood and a career, and being a wife, is something that I don't think I'll ever perfect, but I love the challenge of it.
volleyball thinking years
People think we have coasted the last four years. We fought, we had a lot of battles. We've always had to battle.
volleyball home years
We don't have a World Series or a Super Bowl, so to be able to come home with a gold medal is amazing. I want to do it again in four more years.
