I grew up in a town with a great wrestling tradition. Then I was a team sport queen in high school; I played softball, volleyball, and soccer. Oh, and I also did ski racing.
Aimee Mullins
I played volleyball, basketball, softball, and I started to love soccer the most around 7-8 years old because it was a physical game. I could use my speed and strength to my advantage.
Alex Morgan
I know a lot of CEOs who are looking for three- to four-year varsity athletes - not necessarily because these people are going to be doing pushups or spiking volleyballs in the workplace, but because they're looking for that continuity, that person who was gritty about something.
Angela Duckworth
I got an award for Most Improved Player for volleyball in tenth grade that I cared about a lot.
Ari Shaffir
I played everything. I played volleyball, did track, cross-country, but basketball was my main sport, my main focus.
Bayley
For summer, I definitely love doing stuff outside. I love beach volleyball if you're close to something like that. It's really fun; you can do it with a lot of friends.
Behati Prinsloo
Our loyalty is not to our grandparents, the traditions, our volleyball team, our friends; as believers, our loyalty is to Scripture.
Benjamin Watson
Besides surfing, I play tennis, volleyball, I swim, I run hills, or I do high-intensity, high-interval workouts. I'm up at 5 A.M. every day.
Bethany Hamilton
I played varsity on all of them for four years. I'm 5'9 and that's not that tall for a center so I was a forward. I loved playing volleyball and basketball and track I was good at, but it stressed me out.
Bridgette Wilson
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.
Brooke Sweat
It's really easy to get caught up in all the catty-ness of the volleyball.
All of the beach volleyball coaches and all the top players, everything is based out of Southern California.
Beach volleyball has taken me all around the world.
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.
Hydration is really important, particularly as a beach volleyball player.
I think all volleyball players are playing with some type of shoulder injury. You use it so much.
My mom was a volleyball player, and my dad was a soccer player. I never thought about it, but they always served healthy food at home, and I love it, and it kind of was a regular part of my day.
Caroline Wozniacki
I had been playing beach volleyball all day, painted my nails red, and threw on a green dress. I thought I looked great at the time, but looking back, I realize that my debut into Monaco society should have been better executed!
Charlene, Princess of Monaco
I played volleyball in college. I was the girl next door, never wanted to be in the limelight.
Charlotte Flair
I tried everything from basketball to volleyball to soccer, but dancing was the only thing I never complained about.
Cheryl Burke
When my daughter played volleyball in school, they were the Wildcats. Well, there are about a million Wildcats. Why don't you come up with another name?
I was a volleyball player as a kid. I played volleyball all the time.
My first sport was volleyball, and then somebody told me about cross-country. They said it was outdoors, coed, and everybody got to participate. And I said, 'That is the sport for me!'
I wasn't banned from skiing but didn't go much in college because I couldn't afford it, and there just wasn't the time. I played football all winter, then in summer I did track and field and played volleyball.
When I tell people I'm going to the Olympics, they're like: 'What do you do, track and field? Pole vault? Are you a volleyball player?' No one ever guesses tae kwon do.
I did volleyball, basketball, and track all through high school. And then I went to junior college and I stuck with track because I was good at shot put and discus. And then I got a full ride to Fresno State for their track program. Shot put was my main thing. I was the five-time All-American, and I set a couple records.
If I had the space, I would build a full indoor basketball/volleyball court and home gym.
We are very passionate and very emotional people in Serbia. Everything we do, it is done with emotions. We are very good at sport, tennis, basketball, football ,water polo, volleyball. We always try to show this character and use it.
I converted from softball. We've got volleyball, we've got track and field. Athletes come from anywhere and then convert into bobsled.
Volleyball was a lot of fun, but I knew it wasn't my sport.
When I was 14 or 15, I was a really good volleyball player, so I thought, 'Well, maybe I'll just get a scholarship to an Ivy League school through volleyball.' Then I quit when I decided to focus on theater.
I usually play volleyball three times a week.
I'm not just a model who plays volleyball, or a volleyball player who supports herself modeling. I'm a female athlete personality.
In high school, I played basketball, volleyball, soccer, baseball, badminton - two sports every season - and I was named female athlete of the year twice.
Volleyball is a Jewish sport. It's fun, and nobody can get hurt.
I danced for 12 years, and I played a lot team sports: basketball, volleyball.
There is only one thing wrong about the Flo Hyman Award: it came to be named for the Old Lady of Volleyball much too soon.
Flo Hyman became America's best-known volleyball player with a faulty aorta, but she did not know it.
My mentality has always been, If I'm not the best at something, then I might as well be the best at something else. I realized that I wasn't going to be an Olympic volleyball player, but I knew I could model at that level.
I love sports - I used to play volleyball really competitively...I went to Junior Olympic qualifiers, and I've ridden horses my whole life.
I was discovered by Paul Marciano of Guess when I was actually, like, two years old. And so I started with Baby Guess; I did Guess Kids, and then I stopped because I was a really competitive horseback rider and a club volleyball player. I went to Junior Olympic qualifiers for volleyball. So, I kind of stopped modeling.
I only box. It's the only thing that keeps me sane. I can't just go to the gym and run. I'd rather die. I played volleyball and rode horses my entire life, so just, like, moving to a city and having to go the gym was just, like, so weird for me.
I grew up on the beach, so I'm really comfortable in a bathing suit, playing volleyball, running around.
I enjoy sports, and love being involved in any outdoor sport from volleyball to softball. I'm not being immodest when I say I'm a natural athlete.
I've always played sport, ever since I was little. I played volleyball and I believe sport teaches you a lot, such as teamwork, respect and discipline.
I love outdoor sports, like volleyball, and I play them whenever I can.
My mom is a former volleyball player.
I have been playing beach volleyball since I was 10. I'm very passionate about this game and every summer I have been practising with my friend.
I'd like to thank everyone who has given me the opportunity to play with the best beach volleyball players in the world.
Sports have always been a big part of my life. At school, I played a lot of different sports, and I was competing with other schools. I did everything: running, volleyball, basketball, soccer, Olympic-style gymnastics, and more! My history with sports gave me good concentration, focus, strength, and motivation to stay healthy.
