What World Volleyball Day means to me ⬇️ Shortly after itsbigteaux hurt her shoulder, we were speaking on the phone and I remember her expressing her apologies and selfless concerns given that she knows how much volleyball means to me. Toni has the biggest heart I’ve ever witnessed, and despite things that are out of our control (injuries, etc), one thing I have learned in this sport is that it’s more than just the game. It’s the relationships. Toni is one of my closest friends now, and the memories we’ve shared on the court, the success we’ve had, goes beyond just that. She has made a true impact on my life in a way that I hope everyone gets to experience. Everyone I’ve shared the court with, everyone I’ve competed against, those relationships hold the biggest impact in my heart, and I am forever grateful. #avpbeach #beachvolley #worldvolleyballday #nationalvolleyballday #womensvolleyball #femaleathletes #manhattanbeachpier
