My Gold Medal Journey
Coach John Cook always said Nebraska knows how to shape Olympians.
I never in a million years thought I'd be one of them, but there I was on that podium receiving a gold medal alongside the rest of Team USA at the Olympic Games in Tokyo.
Life is crazy, you know?
A few years ago, I was getting cut from teams and unsure if I wanted to continue playing volleyball on the national stage. Yet, a few years later, I reached the pinnacle of the sport.
The gold medal is a symbol of all your hard work and dedication. It's what makes the magazines and posters, right? But do you want to know what made me the proudest?
It was the journey.
