26- VolleyTalk w/ Tina Graudina 🇱🇻

“Keep that feeling of truth inside you and do what you feel like you want to do!” Today's guest is Tina Graudina- a proud Latvian superstar who just recently won “Athlete of the Year” in her country! She is the first NCAA athlete to qualify for an Olympic tournament and has had many amazing comebacks and wins under her belt. In this episode, Tina talks about:- - How she felt when she was receiving the “Athlete of the Year” award in Latvia! - Did you know that she did high jump before she switched to beach vb? - How she’s starting her master’s program in Political Science now - The toughest challenge she has had to face in her career - How she and her partner, Anastasija Kravcenoka coordinated their training despite her being in USA and Anastasija in Latvia - Her journey to USC!! - How she is finally going to be a professional player and her transition towards that And as usual, much much more! It was such a pleasure to speak with Tina. She is so down-to-earth and humble, and genuinely sharing from the bottom of her heart. I really hope that you enjoy it and that you’ve learned as much from her as I did!
