Kerri Walsh Jennings

“My childhood dream was to be the first girl in the MLB," says Olympic beach volleyball player, Kerri Walsh Jennings. Little did she know then that she would grow up to become one of the greatest Olympic beach volleyball players of all time. Walsh Jennings grew up playing sports with her older brother and two younger sisters. Before transferring to beach volleyball, Walsh Jennings had a successful indoor career where she was a member of the United States National Team for two seasons and a right side hitter on the 2000 Olympic team.

 


“A true competitor works the hardest, cares the most, and makes the best of what they have.”


Nicknamed "Six Feet of Sunshine" due to her tall stature, Walsh Jennings asked Misty May Treanor for her autograph when she was a sophomore in high school. Nine years later, she ended up partnering with Treanor and won gold medals in beach volleyball in the 2004, 2008, and 2012 Summer Olympics. After Treanor retired in 2012, April Ross became Walsh Jennings' new partner. Two shoulder dislocations last year forced Walsh Jennings to rely on Ross for support. "My injury was such a blessing because it brought us closer together," says Walsh Jennings. Off the court, Walsh Jennings and Ross act like sisters and fit really well together.

With 3 Olympic gold medals and a fourth one in sight, Walsh Jennings plans to dominate at the 2016 Olympic Games. "We're going to kick butt in Rio," Walsh Jennings says. "We've worked really hard and we're ready to go.” This sisterly connection helped them play strong at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio when they took home a bronze medal. "Winning the bronze medal meant so much to me. It was the hardest match I have ever played in my career," says Walsh Jennings. With another medal under her belt, Walsh Jennings is looking forward to Tokyo in 2020.


 

“Adversity, if you allow it to, will fortify you and make you the best you can be.”
