    31- VolleyTalk w Misty May-Treanor 🇺🇸

    “You don’t have to overthink it- you just gotta have fun with what you’re doing and enjoy the process!” [Catch the LIVE replay on Instagram or Youtube to watch behind the scenes!] Today’s episode will always hold a special place in my heart because it’s my first ever face-to-face interview, and also the fact that we recorded it on Olympic Day- and who else better to represent the value of the Olympic Games besides three-time gold medalist Misty May-Treanor?! I’m truly so lucky to be able to sit down and have a chat with Misty about her journey from the moment she stepped onto a volleyball court, to the accomplished athlete that she is today. In this episode, Misty talks about:- - How she started beach volleyball and played in her first tournament with her dad, Butch - Why she thinks she has never had the “perfect” game - Why the Brazilians were always her toughest opponents - How her training regimen has shifted throughout multiple years (in season & off season) - Why every athlete should start a food journal! - Her mentality when facing injuries (this one is really good!) - How to develop the ability to be a step or two ahead of your opponents - The main difference that separated she and Kerri with the other teams - Why being vulnerable is actually so important in our lives And as usual, much much more! This episode with Misty is a very special episode that I will cherish forever. I really hope that you enjoy it and that you’ve learned as much from her as I did!

    30- VolleyTalk w/ Kerri Walsh Jennings 🇺🇸

    “The man who loves walking will go further than the man who loves the destination!” Today's guest of honor is Kerri Walsh Jennings. Most of us know her as a 5-time Olympian who has won 3 golds and 1 bronze, a 3-time World Championships Gold Medalist, countless world tours and AVP events winner, and is considered to be one of the greatest of all times in beach volleyball.  We usually only hear the successful and happy parts of her journey to the top, but many of us don’t know what it took for her to get there- the discipline, hard work, losses, self-doubt, and heartbreaks that she has had to experience to go down in history as a legend.  In this episode, Kerri talks about:- - How she never had the courage or humility to try beach volleyball in her young adult life! - How she feels she’s in an “in-between” stage of her life right now - Why her toughest challenge is overcoming her own self-doubt, and how she has learned to turn that into her superpower - How she feels that beach volleyball athletes need to stand for themselves more and stop settling for less (very interesting insights!) - How she trains during different seasons and the various training method she uses to get in shape - Why she focuses her nutrition plan around protein and hydration - The story behind her organization p1440, and tips for people who want to build a successful organization - The difference between being great vs. good And as usual, much much more! This episode with Kerri is definitely one that I have to come back and listen to again and again and I’m sure every time I will still learn something new. I really hope that you enjoy it and that you’ve learned as much from her as I did!

    29- VolleyTalk w Audrius Knasas 🇱🇹

    “Live your life today as if you would want to live it a 1000 times over!” Today's guest is Audrius Knasas- beach volleyball player from Lithuania who is currently playing professional indoor volleyball in Austria! A literal “walking quote book”, Audrius dives deep into his personal headspace and shares many experiences that he has had in life through a philosophical lens. In this episode, Audrius talks about:- - How he first started beach volleyball in Lithuania but is currently playing pro indoor volleyball in Austria - What being “more than an athlete” means to him - How he began the process of “searching” and finding ways to cope mentally with the strenuous schedule - Why “alone time” is so necessary for him - How playing in Austria has been like for him (this one is really funny!) - What being an Olympian means to him - How he would still like to be in the sports scene in different ways even after he is retired - Why being a “self-learner” is his greatest strength - How anxiousness actually affects him in many ways, but how he has learned to have a “friendly relationship” with himself - How volleyball has taught him self-love on and off the court And as usual, much much more! Speaking with Aurdrius has opened my eyes and mind to a lot of things that I never gave much thought about before. I really hope that you enjoy it and that you’ve learned as much from him as I did!
