Speaker 1 (04:07):
Okay, so she's the problem.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Yeah, we know that.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Last episode, I I want to light a little fire.
We don't want to make it interesting.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
This is the issue.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
It starts off as a joke, but then you start
getting really competitive, and if you start losing, you're starting
to get pissed off.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
But the other person is still kind of joking around.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
You're like, not right now, Like I can't handle yeah,
sometimes talking about.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Joking.
Speaker 5 (04:32):
There were days so when we all knew one of
us was doing like we were, we had had our
love and we were just like, hey, just every day
and we're all like yeah, but it would literally just
move it.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
I would still chirp, but quietly and be like like
do the net and then no, No, she's kind of
mad eye contacting.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
You're like, all right, I'm done.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Yeah, if your mike mid match?
Speaker 2 (04:52):
What's one thing the producers would have to bleep out
the word yeah, don't us. I don't know what.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
Someone give her her crown.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Okay, if Beyonce wants to be on the Houston team
as the starting opposite door center, you have to give
up your.
Speaker 7 (05:11):
Yeah ass on a bitch? Uh No way, I give
that hail the queen. But now I wonder, you know,
I wonder she'd be good.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
I think Beyonce has talent. She's like, she could be
a wonderful barrel.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
I think she'd be I think she is.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
She has a lot taller on TV to say, so,
maybe she could be a setter.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
Sorry, hey what five eight?
Speaker 2 (05:40):

Nice?
Speaker 2 (05:49):
What's her biggest team? Travel? People who are talking really
loud on the bus.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Shut up?
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Yeah, shut headphones? Like if you're like, it's one with this. Also,
I just really got tired of wearing the same outfit
all the time as a we're.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Just like, we didn't love Austin.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
We didn't do that. We like, you kind of can
wear what you want. Long it was a deta or something.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Yeah, all right, did your captains choose that or something?
But that you guys could wear whatever you wanted. Yeah,
basically long.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Yeah, long Adidas, and you know it was fine. We
had like the what's the suit that we got from Revolve?
Everyone got the blue and white one? Yeah, the st
one that was from spank or spanks yeah sanks. Yeah
that was comfortable. Yeah, nice, But we were able to
kind of do our own kind of sense of style.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Are like no brand, okay, yay?
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Comfort comfort? Is he for the great Yeah?
Speaker 4 (06:48):
The grout fit?
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Yeah, the I always went for the ground fit. Yes,
all right. So what's your Houston hot take?
Speaker 4 (06:56):
Food?
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Nightlife, food scenes, epything? Yeah it is really good. What's
your go to food? I feel like they have some
good Italian food there.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
They also have everything.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Oh yeah, we do have a we have a happy
hour spot.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
That's good. I think I took.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Yeah yeah, yeah, you didn't like it? Nothing I had
brush at no or left no no, no different one anyways,
all right, I have to move on to the real
real stuff. You guys. Okay, So you guys have both
had pretty incredibles until this point. You want two Olympic medals? Yes,
what does that feel like? Do you feel different right
(07:41):
to wear it?
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Is there a pressure of life into you wear these medallions?
Or you have this like this.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
Stat for you to perform at any level or any
team or like wherever you're at, Like.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Do you feel like I have to play well?
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Because it used to be And then my mentality shifted
a little bit, like right after Tokyo, I was like
gotta be perfect and no, I'm like, I'm literally in
house money, Like what am I stressing for?
Speaker 4 (08:04):
I literally worked my whole life for this And it's
a journey.
Speaker 5 (08:07):
It's not like you never do this anyway like everyone
thinks it's like that's how you get to success.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
And it's just that way. So it was liberating, like
turn the other the other day, I don't say.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Yeah, yeah, it was really liberating to be like, no,
this is the mindset I need to have and it's.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
What's maybe some advice you'd give to other athletes that
are trying to give with my mind to the pressure
of like I did, all these great things have to
keep being.
Speaker 5 (08:35):
Great, just like perfectionism is like not a thing. I
think Sue inc Has actually said this recently. Does It's
just like your overthinking stuff, be in the moment, be
present and like approach that moment as you would, which
like if you're doing it at a high level, like most.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
Of the time, it's going to be a good result.
So it keeps you in.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
The moment and it's fun. Yeah, I mean, I honestly
winning medals. It's weird because I don't feel this I
thought would feel like a really strong emotional attachment to
like this metal, But I think, like Mike I was saying,
it was more about the journey to get there, and
I felt just more confident in who I was as
(09:11):
a player after and I think for at least my
own personal journeys at both Olympics, it wasn't necessarily what
I'd hoped for for myself, with like getting injured and
different things happening, but like at the end of the
day and like I was a part of that, and
I think that speaks volumes to the journey I had
to get there and the people that supported me along
the way, and I think that's what I focus on
(09:32):
more than like, oh, I now have to be this person.
It's like, no, I don't have to change anything, Like, yeah,
he did it. Did you guys know when you were
younger that you wanted to go to the Olympics? Like
was that always a goal for you or it just
(09:53):
naturally you were? Like this is progressed and like now
I have this opportunity that's like pretty sick.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
I always wanted to throw.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
I didn't know what that meant, though, I think none
of us did. We didn't see it, like maybe because
you're okay, she keeps us young.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
Yeah, we didn't have that.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
So okay, let's just say bobbles some in the picture.
You know right now, what do you think you'd be.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Doing if you weren't play volleyball?
Speaker 4 (10:17):
Who would you be?
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Who's Mica Hancock not the volleyball player.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
I don't know, like my unhinged answers that, like I
would want to DJ? Are we making music?
Speaker 4 (10:24):
Or like do something creative?
Speaker 5 (10:26):
And it's really weird to think about life after volleyball
because I'm like, it's just the whole world we don't
know but using the time now, I think, as we
have more time off not being overskies all the time,
you have more time to kind of get your hands dirty,
explore your interests and stuff.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Yeah, I feel like I would be doing something either
like helping people or horses. I knew you.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Into this, Georgia a die hard horse. Go you have
a horse, pat r Really.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Is it like somebody who like group around horses as
a kid, or just like somebody to develop as.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
I don't know what and it started.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
I mean I have this picture of myself like as
a little maybe like one year old, and my brother
had a petting zoo for his birthday and I was
just on the back of this pony and wow, just like.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
And then maybe that's what started it.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
But I just feel like there's such like strong, powerful
creatures and they're like gentle but also like sometimes a
little intimidating and sometimes they stare people down through the
net and whatever.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Yeah, did you ever watch Spirits?
Speaker 2 (11:34):
No?
Speaker 1 (11:34):
But I was a.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Big flick a girl that was like my movie. I
always cried. I felt like Flicka when they put her
in the trailer and then she's like she needs to
see the sky.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
I'm like that's me Watch Spirit you love that too,
and cried as well.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Interesting, Okay, you guys have played a bunch of overseas
as well. Where have you guys been? What have you
what has been your favorite and why? I played in
Italy and Turkey and I've played in wonderful And where
do we go in Italy? Okay? Did you guys play
against each other in Italy?
Speaker 4 (12:05):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Yes, yeah, because you were in one.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
Was What was the first place you played after graduating
from Penn?
Speaker 4 (12:12):
I went to Italy?
Speaker 1 (12:14):
So how was that? Just like being what twenty one?
Speaker 3 (12:16):
Going off into the world by yourself, like in a
place you don't really know language barrier?
Speaker 5 (12:21):
Yeah, I thought it was rough for me. I was like, whoa,
I'm living alone, no one speaks my language. I couldn't
even go over a coffee And so how did you
kind of get.
Speaker 8 (12:31):
You?
Speaker 4 (12:33):
I was snatched? Yeah, but it was called Leish.
Speaker 5 (12:37):
Alicia Maass was there and Rachel Adams and it was
like a nice little like whoa, actually this is the
latter I have to climb here, like we just finished,
like won a championship. I did get national paper year
and I was like, yeah, let's go to Italy and
se what's up, and they were like you suck. Okay,
let's start to sing it all over again. So yeah, what
did you feel like?
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Your biggest takeaway from that was like that you had
to learn volleyball wise, transitioning from n C double A
to pro that there's always so much more to learn,
and like the things you don't know, you learn, you
to learn, you know, Like I remember watching Moki the
Italian livery, just like someone was spraying her balls and
she's like diming out of sex. It's hitting the line
every single time, like two feet off the net, and.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
I was just like, I can't even do that.
Speaker 5 (13:20):
That's my job, but I'm not doing that. So it
was pretty enlightening at least.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
And then you were a finer first. Yeah, I was there, Yeah,
and we got to hang out and you had that
dog and had all the fleas.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Okay, I found a dog.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
It was like literally a teeny tiny puppy and it
was laying under I saw, like jump off the curb
and crawl under a parked cars like front tire, and
I was like, oh my god, it's gonna get run
over if I don't pick it up.
Speaker 4 (13:49):
And so I picked it up.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
I was looking for its mom everywhere, couldn't find it.
I had a dog at home already, like, oh, like,
I'll just bring it home foster until I find someone.
I'm literally sitting on the couch patting this dog. I
see things like kind of crawling in and out of
expert I'm like, I like, pull.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
Back his birth infested.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
That's gross.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Yeah, but you you say you got.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
The But is y'all getting random countries dogs and cats
off the stree?
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Oh yeah, the animals.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
But then I got adopted.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Yeah, but picking dogs up the street.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Nasty, And I was like, thank god, my like real
dog didn't get the police. But then you rap about you,
which is a pretty great club, and how was your experience?
Speaker 4 (14:33):
It was like getting punched in the face.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Yeah, because listen, you go overseas and you're like, whoa,
I'm playing for one of like the biggest clubs in
the world.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Let's not Let's note that for American volleyball, like to
play at Hunter is such a huge thing, and for
JT to come out of college and be put for
that roster is absolutely insane.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
So CONGRATSI for that. I don't know that much about
like overseas volleyball.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
But for her to go into that situation and come
out obviously she's a is great, So that's amazing.
Speaker 4 (15:02):
It was really cool.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
But I think it was just like a lot to learn,
and like the coaches in college versus the coaches overseas
like very different and the things that they're allowed to
say or like maybe do, and so that I was like,
whoa culture shock. But I had Kelsey with me there too,
and so that was nice. And then also I had you,
so it's kind of it was nice that I had
(15:23):
people around to show me the ropes and stuff like that.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Would you guys say like going overseas is a very
important piece of being a pro vulbable play especially like
at the level that you guys play, yet.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
I think for us, yeah, I mean to have the
opportunity to go and play overseas because we didn't have
love here, I think was really special for me and
like I really cherish all of those memories and club seasons.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
I think it also like speaks away at the volleyball
piece of it.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
Just like as women in general, like you said, you
have to go in the situations and learn from them
and kind of grow from them and kind of like
fight those battles in those effort averse three times, you know.
Speaker 5 (15:51):
So like going somewhere for and like we all know
the feeling of walking in this floor like this.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Yeah, and also or not know who you are, I
mean being in a place who you are?
Speaker 3 (16:02):
I think for me, I mean, but I think it's
I would always say, like, since love is becoming what
is becoming and the level was so great, I would
just say, like to be able to even draft into
the league, I would say, you have to play at
least one year or one season abroad just to get
that like you know what I mean feeling.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
I think it's helpful just to kind of find yourself too,
And like I know it's harder, but maybe a little
bit of adversity is nice for character building. Yeah yeah, okay,
So you guys are both founding athletes. How did you
get to that point?
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Like what made you.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Decide to come to love? Where were you in time
when that was all being talked about for you? I
was in Italy when those conversations started, and I remember
before getting on the call to kind of really learn
what love was all about, I was like absolutely not,
Like I'm staying overseas.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
This is not happening. I'm not going home yet.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
And then as soon as I hung up the phone,
I was like, I'm doing it. Sold really cool to
see what was being built and then to kind of
be invited inside of like, hey, we want your voice
to be a part of this, and you know, we
want your input and feedback. I think that was interesting
for me to think about. And then obviously to have
(17:13):
the opportunity to play at home and have my friends
and family come and watch me they you know, never
seen me play professional volleyball or maybe having seen me
play since high school, that was really exciting too.
Speaker 5 (17:24):
I think to be a part of it is like
the coolest thing. It's an honor to bring it home.
I think as I was talking about overseas volleyball and
how big of a journey, part of our journey, it
was bringing that here and ting like America what professional
action looks like, and like having girls in college to
learn that sooner and like to see how that's.
Speaker 4 (17:42):
Going to change the future.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
Volleyball is like something I really couldn't say no to exactly.
And so when you guys, from that point of like
having those conversations it was like what four or five
years ago, three years? Yeah, I played two years overseas
and it's been a minute. Yeah, So do you feel
like the like build up was really exciting because you
(18:04):
were like I can I'm going to be home and
like I can tell my friends and family.
Speaker 5 (18:09):
There was like I don't know, for me, there's like
a release of like Okay, i can do this overseas
like two more years and I'm coming home and like
whatever that brings, Like it's it was technically kind of
a startup last year, but like.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
We were so happy to be home and we all
have this.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Energy and we had a great group.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Yeah, it was perfect.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
And also like when love was being first talked about
amongst like me and other people, it almost almost kind
of like a rumor, you know what I mean, Like
we weren't sure if it was actually happening. I think
it was in the really early stages of like getting
players to come in and sign and like then you
guys are are kind of like posting about it and
we could see like, okay, well these players that they
have and like for sure, like when they say Mike's coming,
your comer are like, oh, well they're going to be
(18:46):
playing at home and we get a chance to play
with them and play against them, we want to do it,
you know what I'm saying so loudly speaking about it,
like helping the room. There is definitely like a different
like tier, you know what I'm saying. So to be
able to, like for myself, be able to be a
part in being magit with you guys and from you guys,
and play against you guys and play with you guys,
It's such an honor and I feel like something we
talked about I think the last time we were talking,
like last week, that like it's almost like a full
(19:08):
circle moment for us, you know what I mean. Like
I've known Micah since twenty eleven when Michael.
Speaker 4 (19:13):
Was going a Tulsa baby.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
I know Michael was, yeah, but it's so cool to
be able to like, well, thank you for thank you
for guys for believing to what they had coming for
everybody else. And it made us want to come home
and like be with you guys, and I get to
play for my family, my nieces get to see me
play with you guys, and I'm like, yeah, like.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Y'all are great.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
You know against it like two times before you know,
so it's really cool.
Speaker 4 (19:38):
So it's like a full circle moment.
Speaker 5 (19:40):
Like at Au we played together, so it's always played
against each other, you know.
Speaker 4 (19:44):
So it's just a cool thing to be a part of.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
We love you too many.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Thank you anyway, But I was going to say something,
but you just kept going on and you had to
play twenty eleven. Okay, yeah, can we do? You want
to touch on Tulsa and Penn State and then Cincinnati?
Speaker 5 (20:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Whoa.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
My story with Micah was we were going to the
un under I'm all American. I don't know how many
girls go get invited to that. It's like the top
twenty of us or top twenty five.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
You are this under arm and I'm.
Speaker 4 (20:18):
Under armmer now. But they didn't know who it was back.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Oh no, it's okay. I mean people knew who you were. Yeah,
but you we're the same class. Yeah, yeah, we're the
same class. We already told the story on the first Yeah,
but why did you Why were you not invited to
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
I was busy that week, okay, going on.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
Yeah, and i'd never met Maca before and like I
hadn't been, like I hadn't really I hadn't met you
in the Nash.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Team gym yet until like we were in school in college.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
But it's my first time seeing Micah and I was like,
who the hell is this girl?
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Y'all want to tell you?
Speaker 1 (20:56):
They had all these like top now I'm stetters. I can't.
I don't know who's there, no offense, but I know
who you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
And I remember like Micah had this like you were
still jump serving her.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
I think you want to set her competition as well too.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
She was doing all these amazing things and I don't
think she was like I don't think they even had you,
like ranked up high with the setters whatever it was. Yeah,
it was just like you almost like I'm here for
the vibes type stuff, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (21:20):
And she was like, yeah, exactly being everyone I remember being.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
I'm like and for me, like I had been multiple
camps for like ABCA, like top ten, whatever it was, I've.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
Never seen him. I'm like all the girls I played
with and train was so far you were the best.
And I was like, girl, where are you going to school?
And she was like wholsome And I was like, what,
no of Ulson? No offense?
Speaker 4 (21:39):
But like, you know, what are what's the mascot hurricanes?
Speaker 1 (21:42):
Yeah, hurricanes. Hulsa is not like it was at the time.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
I don't know what they are now. It's not a
top like I was, say, top ten powers, you know. Anyway,
So if I just want to say no offense, I
feel bad about saying that, but I mean, I mean
I remember like Colling Geer and being like we got
to get Mica handcocked.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Tell it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Mika almost went to Texas,
by the way, damn when I had the money. That's
the truth, you guys is about.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
This is the truth.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
We almost had it. But you guys went to Korea
together on that trip. No go back to.
Speaker 5 (22:23):
I had to have a meeting because I had already
signed to Tulsa.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
I had to have a meeting with the new coach.
So that's why the whole thing happened.
Speaker 5 (22:29):
This coach that had recruited me left and I was like,
wait what And the new coach was nice enough to
be like, hey, I've seen you grow in the past
two years.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Like I know, like you can go somewhere and do
something big.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
If you want to do that, I want to give you, like.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
The possibility, and I said, thank you so much and
if I come back, like you know, I'm going to
be one hundred percent committed here. And Penn State had
a setter like completely quick volleyball, like super unhappy, which
is a shame. But I did not know a single
thing about pen Sate.
Speaker 5 (22:53):
I went and had an official visit and walk in
and there's like just placks of women who have just
been like for time America, like great Megan easy, you know,
like Alicia, And I'm like, what did I just walk
into And he's like you're gonna hate it, but like
we're gonna make.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
You great ball up there, and I was like, I
think I have to come here. Did you hate it partially?
Speaker 5 (23:15):
Yeah? Sure, I mean it was really hard mentally physically
a lot to juggle. Yeah, a little diversary like we
were talking about you strong, yes, and yeah so not Tulsa.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
Yeah, that wasn't in the cards for.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Me, so glad.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Yeah we loved Tulsa.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
Yeah, we love Tulsa. But I knew I was like
my favorite, damn to go there and no offense.
Speaker 9 (23:34):
And my sister, that's my sister's on the water and
but but she was also like you need to go
like flying, and I think that is you need to
have people around you like that.
Speaker 5 (23:44):
So I'm also grateful to the coach that that came
in there and was like go awaiting.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Yeah, thank you and beat.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
That's crazy because that's.
Speaker 5 (23:55):
Also my time.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
Yeah, this isn't really our things. I just trying to
make it happen. Okay, you guys should be more like yeah, yeah,
across anything.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Yeah, you have to at know the movie reference you
didn't commit anywhere?
Speaker 4 (24:16):
And then do commit?
Speaker 2 (24:17):
He actually, sorry, oh you did tell us you guys,
we're learning so much. I was committed to Syracuse my
freshman year and then but my coach, my school coach
my freshman year, she was like, it was my first offer,
my first visit anywhere. She's like, you're going to get
(24:38):
more offers. Don't take the first one. Wait it out,
like they will wait for you whatever. And I was like, yeah,
like for sure, I committed.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
So you're an easy cell, really decisive.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
They say, we have cheese. It's okay.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
I was great, So are the man fine, I'm coming.
I should have looked at that.
Speaker 5 (25:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
So then they also had a coaching change and I
kind of reopened my recruitment.
Speaker 4 (25:16):
Also, like I was not good in high school, so
like whatever, I'm sure you were fine.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
But I don't think a lot of people knew that
I had decommitted, and then I didn't really know where
to look. And one of my friends from high school,
she was committed to Cincinnati, and she was like, why
are you just going to visit there?
Speaker 4 (25:30):
I'm like, well, do they even want me?
Speaker 2 (25:32):
And so I went on a visit and I just
like fell in love with the school, the coaching staff, JA,
yeah exactly, yeah, okay, and then yeah, I committed shortly
after and it was just really like I just really
enjoyed my time there. I think a lot of people
are like, why do you go to a big volleyball school?
(25:53):
And I'm like I could have gone to maybe a
big volleyball school, maybe on a partial scholarship, sat the
first three years or like who knows that my journey
it worked.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
For you to say, yeah, out of all our universities,
who what if you had to take which one?
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Which one? Which want to go to there?
Speaker 7 (26:11):
Damn?
Speaker 2 (26:16):
This is I just go to talk.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
About city, about city?
Speaker 4 (26:23):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Would you want to be a women?
Speaker 4 (26:28):
What are we all going? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (26:29):
I also think based on city and weather, I would
choose Texas, but I would never go to Texas.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
There we go, Sorry, it never had it's like.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
You know, man, no she.
Speaker 4 (26:48):
Didn't say yours boy? All wait where is is it in?
Its in Tucson? Okay? Is that just all?
Speaker 2 (26:55):
It's yes, psychology though, yeah, it's really the best city.
Speaker 5 (27:01):
Yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
Mean the culture, but I think like that.
Speaker 4 (27:07):
Yeah, it's fun.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
Man.
Speaker 4 (27:08):
Honestly, I feel like I would have picked Arizona.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Because I think I maybe like I feel like if
I would have gone to Texas or Penn State, I
would have been the same thing, like, Okay, you're gonna
play front Road. That's it. You're not allowed to practice
background at all, no defense, and I'm like, no, like
I want to. I that was a big thing for me.
Even in high school. I would beg my coaches like,
please let me practice all the way around, like you
don't have to put like play me in games better,
(27:32):
but like just give me a chance in practice, like
I will come before, stay after whatever. We love our
DS is but overseas you don't have as many substitutions,
so and obviously who can do it all? Really really
hard to come by. So thankfully at Cincinnati, they I
think like invested.
Speaker 4 (27:49):
In me right away and allowed.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
Me a lot of opportunities to I will also say
that I think it's a big thing too. A lot
of players are transferring because that's an option that they
don't really have, especially like attackers and oppos who can't
who can't play six and not able to train in
that way of playing that manner as well too.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
That's a big thing.
Speaker 3 (28:04):
I also say for me that like, I feel like
for our generation, once you decided to find that contract
and you go into that school like you're going to go,
and I feel like back then people were transferring, it was.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Like almost like a them problem kind of thing.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
I almost like, oh yeah, yeah, like that told me
and one of my friends talking about like when I
was at Texas, like you know, I played middle when
I was playing outside, Like whatever they asked me to do,
I did it for the team. I didn't care about
like what I did for myself physically or my career
was like, Okay, what can I do to make help
make the team be successful? Exactly at the same time strength, yes,
(28:39):
at the same time, it's like I do. I used
to think back back, like Okay, what if I not transfer,
but just like you know, didn't make the changer said no,
I still like you know, we're not all out of
my positions were at where would I be? You know,
look at you now, I love your basically, Yeah, I
can do it.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
I'm telling you I can do it all.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
That's huge.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
So being well rounded is a huge deal.
Speaker 5 (28:59):
And I know I know that that's like a not
easy thing to have when your mental when you're playing
and you're well, now I have all these different like
things I need to do.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
But also not a lot of people are built that way.
Speaker 4 (29:08):
Just hold that, appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
You can do it all. You said you defend sometimes
unless I tip on you.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Please please please, Matthie, just get you.
Speaker 4 (29:35):
All right.
Speaker 2 (29:36):

We don't want to make it interesting.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
This is the issue.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
It starts off as a joke, but then you start
getting really competitive, and if you start losing, you're starting
to get pissed off.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
But the other person is still kind of joking around.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
You're like, not right now, Like I can't handle yeah,
sometimes talking about.

Joking.
Speaker 5 (04:32):

us was doing like we were, we had had our
love and we were just like, hey, just every day
and we're all like yeah, but it would literally just
move it.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
I would still chirp, but quietly and be like like
do the net and then no, No, she's kind of
mad eye contacting.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
You're like, all right, I'm done.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Yeah, if your mike mid match?
Speaker 2 (04:52):
What's one thing the producers would have to bleep out
the word yeah, don't us. I don't know what.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
Someone give her her crown.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Okay, if Beyonce wants to be on the Houston team
as the starting opposite door center, you have to give
up your.
Speaker 7 (05:11):
Yeah ass on a bitch? Uh No way, I give
that hail the queen. But now I wonder, you know,
I wonder she'd be good.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
I think Beyonce has talent. She's like, she could be
a wonderful barrel.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
I think she'd be I think she is.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
She has a lot taller on TV to say, so,
maybe she could be a setter.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
Sorry, hey what five eight?
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Aren't you five eight?
Speaker 4 (05:41):
Better? Quick?
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Team?
Speaker 7 (05:44):
Nice?
Speaker 2 (05:49):
What's her biggest team? Travel? People who are talking really
loud on the bus.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Shut up?
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Yeah, shut headphones? Like if you're like, it's one with this. Also,
I just really got tired of wearing the same outfit
all the time as a we're.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Just like, we didn't love Austin.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
We didn't do that. We like, you kind of can
wear what you want. Long it was a deta or something.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Yeah, all right, did your captains choose that or something?
But that you guys could wear whatever you wanted. Yeah,
basically long.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Yeah, long Adidas, and you know it was fine. We
had like the what's the suit that we got from Revolve?
Everyone got the blue and white one? Yeah, the st
one that was from spank or spanks yeah sanks. Yeah
that was comfortable. Yeah, nice, But we were able to
kind of do our own kind of sense of style.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Are like no brand, okay, yay?
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Comfort comfort? Is he for the great Yeah?
Speaker 4 (06:48):
The grout fit?
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Yeah, the I always went for the ground fit. Yes,
all right. So what's your Houston hot take?
Speaker 4 (06:56):
Food?
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Nightlife, food scenes, epything? Yeah it is really good. What's
your go to food? I feel like they have some
good Italian food there.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
They also have everything.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Oh yeah, we do have a we have a happy
hour spot.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
That's good. I think I took.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Yeah yeah, yeah, you didn't like it? Nothing I had
brush at no or left no no, no different one anyways,
all right, I have to move on to the real
real stuff. You guys. Okay, So you guys have both
had pretty incredibles until this point. You want two Olympic medals? Yes,
what does that feel like? Do you feel different right
(07:41):
to wear it?
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Is there a pressure of life into you wear these medallions?
Or you have this like this.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
Stat for you to perform at any level or any
team or like wherever you're at, Like.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Do you feel like I have to play well?
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Because it used to be And then my mentality shifted
a little bit, like right after Tokyo, I was like
gotta be perfect and no, I'm like, I'm literally in
house money, Like what am I stressing for?
Speaker 4 (08:04):
I literally worked my whole life for this And it's
a journey.
Speaker 5 (08:07):
It's not like you never do this anyway like everyone
thinks it's like that's how you get to success.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
And it's just that way. So it was liberating, like
turn the other the other day, I don't say.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Yeah, yeah, it was really liberating to be like, no,
this is the mindset I need to have and it's.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
What's maybe some advice you'd give to other athletes that
are trying to give with my mind to the pressure
of like I did, all these great things have to
keep being.
Speaker 5 (08:35):
Great, just like perfectionism is like not a thing. I
think Sue inc Has actually said this recently. Does It's
just like your overthinking stuff, be in the moment, be
present and like approach that moment as you would, which
like if you're doing it at a high level, like most.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
Of the time, it's going to be a good result.
So it keeps you in.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
The moment and it's fun. Yeah, I mean, I honestly
winning medals. It's weird because I don't feel this I
thought would feel like a really strong emotional attachment to
like this metal, But I think, like Mike I was saying,
it was more about the journey to get there, and
I felt just more confident in who I was as
(09:11):
a player after and I think for at least my
own personal journeys at both Olympics, it wasn't necessarily what
I'd hoped for for myself, with like getting injured and
different things happening, but like at the end of the
day and like I was a part of that, and
I think that speaks volumes to the journey I had
to get there and the people that supported me along
the way, and I think that's what I focus on
(09:32):
more than like, oh, I now have to be this person.
It's like, no, I don't have to change anything, Like, yeah,
he did it. Did you guys know when you were
younger that you wanted to go to the Olympics? Like
was that always a goal for you or it just
(09:53):
naturally you were? Like this is progressed and like now
I have this opportunity that's like pretty sick.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
I always wanted to throw.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
I didn't know what that meant, though, I think none
of us did. We didn't see it, like maybe because
you're okay, she keeps us young.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
Yeah, we didn't have that.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
So okay, let's just say bobbles some in the picture.
You know right now, what do you think you'd be.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Doing if you weren't play volleyball?
Speaker 4 (10:17):
Who would you be?
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Who's Mica Hancock not the volleyball player.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
I don't know, like my unhinged answers that, like I
would want to DJ? Are we making music?
Speaker 4 (10:24):
Or like do something creative?
Speaker 5 (10:26):
And it's really weird to think about life after volleyball
because I'm like, it's just the whole world we don't
know but using the time now, I think, as we
have more time off not being overskies all the time,
you have more time to kind of get your hands dirty,
explore your interests and stuff.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Yeah, I feel like I would be doing something either
like helping people or horses. I knew you.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Into this, Georgia a die hard horse. Go you have
a horse, pat r Really.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Is it like somebody who like group around horses as
a kid, or just like somebody to develop as.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
I don't know what and it started.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
I mean I have this picture of myself like as
a little maybe like one year old, and my brother
had a petting zoo for his birthday and I was
just on the back of this pony and wow, just like.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
And then maybe that's what started it.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
But I just feel like there's such like strong, powerful
creatures and they're like gentle but also like sometimes a
little intimidating and sometimes they stare people down through the
net and whatever.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Yeah, did you ever watch Spirits?
Speaker 2 (11:34):
No?
Speaker 1 (11:34):
But I was a.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Big flick a girl that was like my movie. I
always cried. I felt like Flicka when they put her
in the trailer and then she's like she needs to
see the sky.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
I'm like that's me Watch Spirit you love that too,
and cried as well.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Interesting, Okay, you guys have played a bunch of overseas
as well. Where have you guys been? What have you
what has been your favorite and why? I played in
Italy and Turkey and I've played in wonderful And where
do we go in Italy? Okay? Did you guys play
against each other in Italy?
Speaker 4 (12:05):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Yes, yeah, because you were in one.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
Was What was the first place you played after graduating
from Penn?
Speaker 4 (12:12):
I went to Italy?
Speaker 1 (12:14):
So how was that? Just like being what twenty one?
Speaker 3 (12:16):
Going off into the world by yourself, like in a
place you don't really know language barrier?
Speaker 5 (12:21):
Yeah, I thought it was rough for me. I was like, whoa,
I'm living alone, no one speaks my language. I couldn't
even go over a coffee And so how did you
kind of get.
Speaker 8 (12:31):
You?
Speaker 4 (12:33):
I was snatched? Yeah, but it was called Leish.
Speaker 5 (12:37):
Alicia Maass was there and Rachel Adams and it was
like a nice little like whoa, actually this is the
latter I have to climb here, like we just finished,
like won a championship. I did get national paper year
and I was like, yeah, let's go to Italy and
se what's up, and they were like you suck. Okay,
let's start to sing it all over again. So yeah, what
did you feel like?
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Your biggest takeaway from that was like that you had
to learn volleyball wise, transitioning from n C double A
to pro that there's always so much more to learn,
and like the things you don't know, you learn, you
to learn, you know, Like I remember watching Moki the
Italian livery, just like someone was spraying her balls and
she's like diming out of sex. It's hitting the line
every single time, like two feet off the net, and.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
I was just like, I can't even do that.
Speaker 5 (13:20):
That's my job, but I'm not doing that. So it
was pretty enlightening at least.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
And then you were a finer first. Yeah, I was there, Yeah,
and we got to hang out and you had that
dog and had all the fleas.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Okay, I found a dog.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
It was like literally a teeny tiny puppy and it
was laying under I saw, like jump off the curb
and crawl under a parked cars like front tire, and
I was like, oh my god, it's gonna get run
over if I don't pick it up.
Speaker 4 (13:49):
And so I picked it up.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
I was looking for its mom everywhere, couldn't find it.
I had a dog at home already, like, oh, like,
I'll just bring it home foster until I find someone.
I'm literally sitting on the couch patting this dog. I
see things like kind of crawling in and out of
expert I'm like, I like, pull.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
Back his birth infested.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
That's gross.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Yeah, but you you say you got.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
The But is y'all getting random countries dogs and cats
off the stree?
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Oh yeah, the animals.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
But then I got adopted.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Yeah, but picking dogs up the street.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Nasty, And I was like, thank god, my like real
dog didn't get the police. But then you rap about you,
which is a pretty great club, and how was your experience?
Speaker 4 (14:33):
It was like getting punched in the face.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Yeah, because listen, you go overseas and you're like, whoa,
I'm playing for one of like the biggest clubs in
the world.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Let's not Let's note that for American volleyball, like to
play at Hunter is such a huge thing, and for
JT to come out of college and be put for
that roster is absolutely insane.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
So CONGRATSI for that. I don't know that much about
like overseas volleyball.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
But for her to go into that situation and come
out obviously she's a is great, So that's amazing.
Speaker 4 (15:02):
It was really cool.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
But I think it was just like a lot to learn,
and like the coaches in college versus the coaches overseas
like very different and the things that they're allowed to
say or like maybe do, and so that I was like,
whoa culture shock. But I had Kelsey with me there too,
and so that was nice. And then also I had you,
so it's kind of it was nice that I had
(15:23):
people around to show me the ropes and stuff like that.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Would you guys say like going overseas is a very
important piece of being a pro vulbable play especially like
at the level that you guys play, yet.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
I think for us, yeah, I mean to have the
opportunity to go and play overseas because we didn't have
love here, I think was really special for me and
like I really cherish all of those memories and club seasons.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
I think it also like speaks away at the volleyball
piece of it.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
Just like as women in general, like you said, you
have to go in the situations and learn from them
and kind of grow from them and kind of like
fight those battles in those effort averse three times, you know.
Speaker 5 (15:51):
So like going somewhere for and like we all know
the feeling of walking in this floor like this.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Yeah, and also or not know who you are, I
mean being in a place who you are?
Speaker 3 (16:02):
I think for me, I mean, but I think it's
I would always say, like, since love is becoming what
is becoming and the level was so great, I would
just say, like to be able to even draft into
the league, I would say, you have to play at
least one year or one season abroad just to get
that like you know what I mean feeling.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
I think it's helpful just to kind of find yourself too,
And like I know it's harder, but maybe a little
bit of adversity is nice for character building. Yeah yeah, okay,
So you guys are both founding athletes. How did you
get to that point?
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Like what made you.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Decide to come to love? Where were you in time
when that was all being talked about for you? I
was in Italy when those conversations started, and I remember
before getting on the call to kind of really learn
what love was all about, I was like absolutely not,
Like I'm staying overseas.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
This is not happening. I'm not going home yet.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
And then as soon as I hung up the phone,
I was like, I'm doing it. Sold really cool to
see what was being built and then to kind of
be invited inside of like, hey, we want your voice
to be a part of this, and you know, we
want your input and feedback. I think that was interesting
for me to think about. And then obviously to have
(17:13):
the opportunity to play at home and have my friends
and family come and watch me they you know, never
seen me play professional volleyball or maybe having seen me
play since high school, that was really exciting too.
Speaker 5 (17:24):
I think to be a part of it is like
the coolest thing. It's an honor to bring it home.
I think as I was talking about overseas volleyball and
how big of a journey, part of our journey, it
was bringing that here and ting like America what professional
action looks like, and like having girls in college to
learn that sooner and like to see how that's.
Speaker 4 (17:42):
Going to change the future.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
Volleyball is like something I really couldn't say no to exactly.
And so when you guys, from that point of like
having those conversations it was like what four or five
years ago, three years? Yeah, I played two years overseas
and it's been a minute. Yeah, So do you feel
like the like build up was really exciting because you
(18:04):
were like I can I'm going to be home and
like I can tell my friends and family.
Speaker 5 (18:09):
There was like I don't know, for me, there's like
a release of like Okay, i can do this overseas
like two more years and I'm coming home and like
whatever that brings, Like it's it was technically kind of
a startup last year, but like.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
We were so happy to be home and we all
have this.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Energy and we had a great group.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Yeah, it was perfect.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
And also like when love was being first talked about
amongst like me and other people, it almost almost kind
of like a rumor, you know what I mean, Like
we weren't sure if it was actually happening. I think
it was in the really early stages of like getting
players to come in and sign and like then you
guys are are kind of like posting about it and
we could see like, okay, well these players that they
have and like for sure, like when they say Mike's coming,
your comer are like, oh, well they're going to be
(18:46):
playing at home and we get a chance to play
with them and play against them, we want to do it,
you know what I'm saying so loudly speaking about it,
like helping the room. There is definitely like a different
like tier, you know what I'm saying. So to be
able to, like for myself, be able to be a
part in being magit with you guys and from you guys,
and play against you guys and play with you guys,
It's such an honor and I feel like something we
talked about I think the last time we were talking,
like last week, that like it's almost like a full
(19:08):
circle moment for us, you know what I mean. Like
I've known Micah since twenty eleven when Michael.
Speaker 4 (19:13):
Was going a Tulsa baby.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
I know Michael was, yeah, but it's so cool to
be able to like, well, thank you for thank you
for guys for believing to what they had coming for
everybody else. And it made us want to come home
and like be with you guys, and I get to
play for my family, my nieces get to see me
play with you guys, and I'm like, yeah, like.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Y'all are great.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
You know against it like two times before you know,
so it's really cool.
Speaker 4 (19:38):
So it's like a full circle moment.
Speaker 5 (19:40):
Like at Au we played together, so it's always played
against each other, you know.
Speaker 4 (19:44):
So it's just a cool thing to be a part of.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
We love you too many.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Thank you anyway, But I was going to say something,
but you just kept going on and you had to
play twenty eleven. Okay, yeah, can we do? You want
to touch on Tulsa and Penn State and then Cincinnati?
Speaker 5 (20:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Whoa.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
My story with Micah was we were going to the
un under I'm all American. I don't know how many
girls go get invited to that. It's like the top
twenty of us or top twenty five.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
You are this under arm and I'm.
Speaker 4 (20:18):
Under armmer now. But they didn't know who it was back.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Oh no, it's okay. I mean people knew who you were. Yeah,
but you we're the same class. Yeah, yeah, we're the
same class. We already told the story on the first Yeah,
but why did you Why were you not invited to
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
I was busy that week, okay, going on.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
Yeah, and i'd never met Maca before and like I
hadn't been, like I hadn't really I hadn't met you
in the Nash.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Team gym yet until like we were in school in college.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
But it's my first time seeing Micah and I was like,
who the hell is this girl?
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Y'all want to tell you?
Speaker 1 (20:56):
They had all these like top now I'm stetters. I can't.
I don't know who's there, no offense, but I know
who you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
And I remember like Micah had this like you were
still jump serving her.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
I think you want to set her competition as well too.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
She was doing all these amazing things and I don't
think she was like I don't think they even had you,
like ranked up high with the setters whatever it was. Yeah,
it was just like you almost like I'm here for
the vibes type stuff, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (21:20):
And she was like, yeah, exactly being everyone I remember being.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
I'm like and for me, like I had been multiple
camps for like ABCA, like top ten, whatever it was, I've.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
Never seen him. I'm like all the girls I played
with and train was so far you were the best.
And I was like, girl, where are you going to school?
And she was like wholsome And I was like, what,
no of Ulson? No offense?
Speaker 4 (21:39):
But like, you know, what are what's the mascot hurricanes?
Speaker 1 (21:42):
Yeah, hurricanes. Hulsa is not like it was at the time.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
I don't know what they are now. It's not a
top like I was, say, top ten powers, you know. Anyway,
So if I just want to say no offense, I
feel bad about saying that, but I mean, I mean
I remember like Colling Geer and being like we got
to get Mica handcocked.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Tell it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Mika almost went to Texas,
by the way, damn when I had the money. That's
the truth, you guys is about.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
This is the truth.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
We almost had it. But you guys went to Korea
together on that trip. No go back to.
Speaker 5 (22:23):
I had to have a meeting because I had already
signed to Tulsa.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
I had to have a meeting with the new coach.
So that's why the whole thing happened.
Speaker 5 (22:29):
This coach that had recruited me left and I was like,
wait what And the new coach was nice enough to
be like, hey, I've seen you grow in the past
two years.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Like I know, like you can go somewhere and do
something big.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
If you want to do that, I want to give you, like.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
The possibility, and I said, thank you so much and
if I come back, like you know, I'm going to
be one hundred percent committed here. And Penn State had
a setter like completely quick volleyball, like super unhappy, which
is a shame. But I did not know a single
thing about pen Sate.
Speaker 5 (22:53):
I went and had an official visit and walk in
and there's like just placks of women who have just
been like for time America, like great Megan easy, you know,
like Alicia, And I'm like, what did I just walk
into And he's like you're gonna hate it, but like
we're gonna make.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
You great ball up there, and I was like, I
think I have to come here. Did you hate it partially?
Speaker 5 (23:15):
Yeah? Sure, I mean it was really hard mentally physically
a lot to juggle. Yeah, a little diversary like we
were talking about you strong, yes, and yeah so not Tulsa.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
Yeah, that wasn't in the cards for.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Me, so glad.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Yeah we loved Tulsa.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
Yeah, we love Tulsa. But I knew I was like
my favorite, damn to go there and no offense.
Speaker 9 (23:34):
And my sister, that's my sister's on the water and
but but she was also like you need to go
like flying, and I think that is you need to
have people around you like that.
Speaker 5 (23:44):
So I'm also grateful to the coach that that came
in there and was like go awaiting.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Yeah, thank you and beat.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
That's crazy because that's.
Speaker 5 (23:55):
Also my time.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
Yeah, this isn't really our things. I just trying to
make it happen. Okay, you guys should be more like yeah, yeah,
across anything.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Yeah, you have to at know the movie reference you
didn't commit anywhere?
Speaker 4 (24:16):
And then do commit?
Speaker 2 (24:17):
He actually, sorry, oh you did tell us you guys,
we're learning so much. I was committed to Syracuse my
freshman year and then but my coach, my school coach
my freshman year, she was like, it was my first offer,
my first visit anywhere. She's like, you're going to get
(24:38):
more offers. Don't take the first one. Wait it out,
like they will wait for you whatever. And I was like, yeah,
like for sure, I committed.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
So you're an easy cell, really decisive.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
They say, we have cheese. It's okay.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
I was great, So are the man fine, I'm coming.
I should have looked at that.
Speaker 5 (25:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
So then they also had a coaching change and I
kind of reopened my recruitment.
Speaker 4 (25:16):
Also, like I was not good in high school, so
like whatever, I'm sure you were fine.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
But I don't think a lot of people knew that
I had decommitted, and then I didn't really know where
to look. And one of my friends from high school,
she was committed to Cincinnati, and she was like, why
are you just going to visit there?
Speaker 4 (25:30):
I'm like, well, do they even want me?
Speaker 2 (25:32):
And so I went on a visit and I just
like fell in love with the school, the coaching staff, JA,
yeah exactly, yeah, okay, and then yeah, I committed shortly
after and it was just really like I just really
enjoyed my time there. I think a lot of people
are like, why do you go to a big volleyball school?
(25:53):
And I'm like I could have gone to maybe a
big volleyball school, maybe on a partial scholarship, sat the
first three years or like who knows that my journey
it worked.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
For you to say, yeah, out of all our universities,
who what if you had to take which one?
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Which one? Which want to go to there?
Speaker 7 (26:11):
Damn?
Speaker 2 (26:16):
This is I just go to talk.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
About city, about city?
Speaker 4 (26:23):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Would you want to be a women?
Speaker 4 (26:28):
What are we all going? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (26:29):
I also think based on city and weather, I would
choose Texas, but I would never go to Texas.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
There we go, Sorry, it never had it's like.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
You know, man, no she.
Speaker 4 (26:48):
Didn't say yours boy? All wait where is is it in?
Its in Tucson? Okay? Is that just all?
Speaker 2 (26:55):
It's yes, psychology though, yeah, it's really the best city.
Speaker 5 (27:01):
Yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
Mean the culture, but I think like that.
Speaker 4 (27:07):
Yeah, it's fun.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
Man.
Speaker 4 (27:08):
Honestly, I feel like I would have picked Arizona.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Because I think I maybe like I feel like if
I would have gone to Texas or Penn State, I
would have been the same thing, like, Okay, you're gonna
play front Road. That's it. You're not allowed to practice
background at all, no defense, and I'm like, no, like
I want to. I that was a big thing for me.
Even in high school. I would beg my coaches like,
please let me practice all the way around, like you
don't have to put like play me in games better,
(27:32):
but like just give me a chance in practice, like
I will come before, stay after whatever. We love our
DS is but overseas you don't have as many substitutions,
so and obviously who can do it all? Really really
hard to come by. So thankfully at Cincinnati, they I
think like invested.
Speaker 4 (27:49):
In me right away and allowed.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
Me a lot of opportunities to I will also say
that I think it's a big thing too. A lot
of players are transferring because that's an option that they
don't really have, especially like attackers and oppos who can't
who can't play six and not able to train in
that way of playing that manner as well too.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
That's a big thing.
Speaker 3 (28:04):
I also say for me that like, I feel like
for our generation, once you decided to find that contract
and you go into that school like you're going to go,
and I feel like back then people were transferring, it was.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Like almost like a them problem kind of thing.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
I almost like, oh yeah, yeah, like that told me
and one of my friends talking about like when I
was at Texas, like you know, I played middle when
I was playing outside, Like whatever they asked me to do,
I did it for the team. I didn't care about
like what I did for myself physically or my career
was like, Okay, what can I do to make help
make the team be successful? Exactly at the same time strength, yes,
(28:39):
at the same time, it's like I do. I used
to think back back, like Okay, what if I not transfer,
but just like you know, didn't make the changer said no,
I still like you know, we're not all out of
my positions were at where would I be? You know,
look at you now, I love your basically, Yeah, I
can do it.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
I'm telling you I can do it all.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
That's huge.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
So being well rounded is a huge deal.
Speaker 5 (28:59):
And I know I know that that's like a not
easy thing to have when your mental when you're playing
and you're well, now I have all these different like
things I need to do.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
But also not a lot of people are built that way.
Speaker 4 (29:08):
Just hold that, appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
You can do it all. You said you defend sometimes
unless I tip on you.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Please please please, Matthie, just get you.
Speaker 4 (29:35):
