Kerri Walsh quotes about
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.
role-models my-family being-the-best
I want to be the best role model I can be for my family.
honestly olympian
I honestly feel like my job since I was 22 has been to be an Olympian.
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.
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.
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.
volleyball winning journey
We had two goals...One was to cherish every moment together, cherish the journey because the journey allows you to learn and grow. The other was to win a gold medal.
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.
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.
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.
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.
volleyball beach feet
Well there's only one way to prepare for playing beach volleyball, and that's by getting in the sand. But offseason is really important because generally I'm staying off the sand and getting my feet under me, and it's really important for my body to know what it feels like to have sound footing under me.
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.
