Kerri is a professional beach volleyball player, three-time Olympic gold medalist, and a one-time Olympic bronze medalist.


A few of Kerri's quotes from this episode:

Greatness doesn't come in isolation.

Don't wait until the end result to be happy. There is joy to be found in the process.

When times get tough run together, not apart!

You control your mindset.

Don't walk a million miles with a pebble in your shoe. Stop and recognize it!
