smart kids appreciate
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.

honestly olympian
I honestly feel like my job since I was 22 has been to be an Olympian.
beach home
Misty May was looking for a partner, I was looking to stay at home, and the beach just came calling.
girl beach home
I switched from indoor to beach I had been playing indoor for 12 years. And, to be honest, to make a living indoors you have to go overseas. I am such a family girl and just wanted to be home, so that didn't appeal to me.
volleyball heart planning
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.
kids nutrition
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.
beach practice two
At some point I go back on the sand to get my sand legs. Because it takes a good month for my legs to catch up with everything, with the displacement and all that stuff. So right now we're training on the beach six days a week for practice, and that's generally about two and a half hours. And then I'm doing pilates three times a week,
shapes getting-in-shape sprint
It's not a sprint to get in shape.
volleyball heart done
In my heart, I'm so far from done.
baby perspective ignorant
And it's given me great perspective. It makes me really focused and efficient, which - I was focused before I had babies but I wasted a lot of time. Prior to having babies I thought I thought I was so busy and now I realize just how ignorant I was.
mother dream children
Well, being a working mommy is something I've always wanted to be. My mother is my biggest role model and she showed me how to do it right. She was very present in our lives and has a great career of her own. Same with my father. So I knew it was possible going in to stay closely connected to my children while also chasing big dreams.
