Episode 71: Kerri Walsh Jennings, Four Time Olympian and Three Time Mom, "Untapped Potential"

Kirsten and Susie sit down and talk to Kerri Walsh Jennings, mom, wife, athlete, entrepreneur. They have so many wide-ranging discussions from Title IX to how volleyball helped Kerri find her voice and her hunter mentality. They touch on self-talk, growing up in a competitive household and how parenting athletes is getting out of the way.

We think it’s our best episode yet. We were all taking notes, learning from each other!

We knew she was a Champion athlete; we love that she’s a Champion parent and podcast guest!!
