Misty May-Treanor

I don't want to be put on a pedestal. I want to be known as a nice and normal person, but my skills are a little more excelled.

I would like to instill in people just to work hard. As long as they keep at it, their dreams will happen.

I didn't think I'd be going for another Olympics.

Mentally, the only players who survive in the pros are the ones able to manage all their responsibilities. Everybody struggles in different ways.

My style is Edie Sedgwick meets Grace Jones, or Audrey Hepburn meets Salt 'n' Pepa. Strong and feisty but still classic.

I think to have the skill set and the ability to physically help others in matters of life and death must be incredibly empowering.
