Travis Hudson speaks on heart attack, spring tournament

Volleyball coach Travis Hudson is less than one month removed from suffering a heart attack that shocked his team, but he is taking his recovery well, according to his players and assistants.

“I vividly remember the moment," rising senior setter Mary Martin said. "We got the text and my heart just dropped. It was so hard for me to believe because he works out all the time—he’ll be in there with us working out—and he eats so healthy. My heart hurt for him and for everyone. He just means so much to all of us. He’s like a second dad.
