It was fun because it's something we normally wouldn't do.
amusement
Just the history, the boardwalk, the food, the amusement park.
couple inspired matter
We made a couple changes, but it was just a matter of having nothing to lose. They're inspired and going for it. We just had to go out and be aggressive.
motivation dad struggle
My dad would tell me to, 'Play for those who couldn't play.' So my motivation is for people who struggle in life daily.

I would like to instill in people just to work hard. As long as they keep at it, their dreams will happen.
volleyball people doubt
A lot of people had doubts. I tried to tell people I never had doubts.
volleyball thinking stronger
I'm stronger than I think I am. Mentally, physically.
volleyball player offensive
I wouldn't be the best offensive player if I didn't have a great setter. She serves me up nectar.
volleyball gold
All my life, I've dreamed in gold.

I didn't want to stop before my time was up.
motherhood goal
My biggest goal for the future is motherhood,
volleyball trying important
Rest, rest, rest, rest, rest. Nutrition is obviously very important, but rest is equally important. At rest is when your body is trying to recover.
party college thinking
I think the most surprising thing about the Olympics would be the amount of interaction and partying that goes on behind the scenes. They have nightclubs at the Olympic Village. It's like college all over again.
