Kerri Walsh Volleyball Player Quotes: Kerri says…



There's only one way to prepare for playing beach volleyball, and that's by getting in the sand.

-Kerri Walsh 

In this journey, the fear creeps in from time to time. The hint of that is there because there's an unknown factor to everything. That's true in everyone's life. I don't choose to live there; I let it spark me.

-Kerri Walsh                                                               (From Brainyquote.com)
