117. Kerri Walsh Jennings, Pro Beach Volleyball Player & 3X Olympic Gold Medalist

Kerri Walsh Jennings is probably one of the best female athletes of all time. Bold statement, I know, but I grew up watching this beach volleyball player dominate year after year. As 5-time Olympian, Walsh Jennings has come back time and time again, showcasing her tenacity and strength not only in her sport — but as a human. In episode 117, I chat with Walsh Jennings about her journey, growing up in Santa Clara, California, and going on to play a number of sports before settling on volleyball in college. We chat about the hurdles she overcame in her professional career, and how the bronze medal in Rio played a huge role in who she is today. She also tells me what it’s like to work with professional performance psychologist Michael Gervais and shares her essential healthy habits for staying sane during this pandemic at home with her three kiddos.
