Kerri Walsh Jennings on WINNING Olympic Gold and being a Hall of Famer, a role model and a MOM Kerri Walsh Jennings grew up in California in an active family. As a somewhat shy kid, she used sports as her outlet playing both basketball and volleyball. As the #1 volleyball recruit her senior year, Walsh Jennings chose nearby Stanford where she helped lead the Cardinal to 2 NCAA Titles (1996 and 1997). Her first Olympic experience came in the Sydney games as a member of the Indoor Volleyball team in 2000. She soon switched to Beach Volleyball and partnered with Misty May-Treanor in 2001 to form a pairing that would win Olympic gold in Athens in 2004, Beijing in 2008 and London in 2012 (where she was 5 weeks pregnant with her third child). Walsh Jennings also won a Bronze medal in Rio in 2016 making her the most-decorated beach athlete. She shares her journey with us including her accomplishments and challenges during her rise to the top of her sport. We hear how the partnership with Misty May-Treanor came to be and how the two balanced competition and fame. Walsh Jennings also tells us what her 2022 induction into the International Volleyball Hall of Fame means to her and why she enjoys the role of simply being mom to her three kids with fellow beach volleyball player Casey Jennings. Plus, she tells us her plans for Paris 2024 and her new venture centered on sports and wellness.
