Beach volleyball has taken me all around the world.

Hydration is really important, particularly as a beach volleyball player.

All of the beach volleyball coaches and all the top players, everything is based out of Southern California.

In beach volleyball, there are only two of you on the court, so it's so easy for things to go south and take everything personal.

It's really easy to get caught up in all the catty-ness of the volleyball.

Started playing indoor volleyball in 5th grade. Started playing club volleyball when I was 15. Played in high school and at Florida Gulf Coast University. Started playing beach volleyball after graduating from FGCU.
