jobs blessed work-out
My job is to be fit and I'm really blessed that I get to go and work out and live a really healthy lifestyle.
growing-up hero jordan
Growing up, Michael Jordan was my Olympic hero.
children ifs-and giving
The advice I will give my children, if and when they have Olympic aspirations, will be to go for it.
volleyball sleep kids
I used to sleep, eat, breathe volleyball. Now I have that with my kids.
mom way my-mom
My mom is a constant in my life in so many ways.
volleyball thinking play
I think the hard part is over. Now it's time for us to play.
beautiful girl sports
I take my role as an ambassador for the sport, and as a role model for boys, girls, mommies, daddies - whoever it is - very, very seriously. I know the impact my role models have had in my life, and I'm in a really beautiful position to be able to be that for others.
journey support-systems mind
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.
growing-up fun husband
I want to be the best role model I can be for my family. I want my husband and I to be the ones our kids look to for guidance, to be the great role models that I had with my parents growing up, so for as hard as we work, I want our kids to see us having fun. I want our kids to know that we have to feel our bodies. And nutrition is a huge part of that.
sick water different
Every time I've gone to Brazil I've gotten sick upon return. You know, it's just a different situation there. And I take every precaution - eating cooked foods and staying away from tap water, brushing my teeth with bottled water - and yet I still manage to get sick. So I'm just going to stay on point, bring my probiotics.
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.
role-models my-family being-the-best
I want to be the best role model I can be for my family.
smart nutrition being-smart
[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.
honestly olympian
I honestly feel like my job since I was 22 has been to be an Olympian.
