The Warrior Mindset with Daly Santana

Growing up in Puerto Rico, Daly Santana was told that she could do everything she wanted to in volleyball. That mindset served the budding outside hitter well in her teenage years – especially when she joined the Puerto Rican National Team at age 16, and later on adapting to life at the University of Minnesota. Now, after a decade of pro competition, Daly has softened her approach…off the court, at least. Using summers to rest and recuperate have left her energized and ready to take the court again when LOVB Madison begins play this winter. Daly celebrates that and countless other ways her Puerto Rican heritage has supported her with host Tiffany Oshinsky as we begin another season of Serving Pancakes.  Topics include: Volleyball over music…for now Volleyball’s place in Puerto Rico Getting to the U.S. for college Burnout and a much-needed break Bringing The Island to Minnesota Playing in Puerto Rico’s first Olympics The Hispanic contribution to volleyball Passions outside of volleyball Excitement for LOVB and LOVB Madison Follow Daly on Instagram, TikTok and Facebook.
