And then 0:02:25.320 --> 0:02:29.160 we were We had like a really honest, open conversation 0:02:29.280 --> 0:02:31.079 after that third loss and everybody was just. 0:02:31.040 --> 0:02:32.600 Like, you got to get on board, we need to 0:02:32.600 --> 0:02:33.680 figure this out. Whatever. 0:02:33.880 --> 0:02:35.880 And then after that day we played you guys next 0:02:36.240 --> 0:02:40.960 at the Spurs Area Arena, and like that was. 0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:41.840 The game changer for us. 0:02:41.840 --> 0:02:44.040 So I think that moment was like really cool because 0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:46.280 we were like, Okay, we need to figure this out 0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:49.600 no matter what, and like we did, and then like 0:02:49.639 --> 0:02:52.440 from that moment on, it was like we were just 0:02:52.480 --> 0:02:55.000 on a roll. So everything felt really good going forward 0:02:55.040 --> 0:02:57.919 from there, and like the season in total was really great. 0:02:57.960 --> 0:02:59.760 Like I loved our team a lot, I love our coach, 0:02:59.800 --> 0:03:06.200 so in totality season awesome, and I think that moment 0:03:06.280 --> 0:03:08.760 was just really pivotal for our team in general. 0:03:09.240 --> 0:03:11.239 Yeah, but I don't know, it was really fun. 0:03:11.280 --> 0:03:13.680 This is probably like one of the more enjoyable seasons 0:03:13.680 --> 0:03:16.280 that I've had in my career, which is really cool. 0:03:16.320 --> 0:03:18.760 So and I'm just like happy to see all these 0:03:18.800 --> 0:03:21.959 little young girls do well and like have a good 0:03:21.960 --> 0:03:24.560 time and have their first pro year. Like it's just 0:03:24.560 --> 0:03:27.360 so fun to be alongside them as they get to 0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:29.560 do this. So I'm really grateful for this season. 0:03:29.840 --> 0:03:33.040 Yeah, I definitely connect with the pivotal like conversations. I 0:03:33.040 --> 0:03:35.480 think throughout our season we had those same conversations like 0:03:35.960 --> 0:03:37.640 almost like you guys, you guys had a moment and 0:03:37.680 --> 0:03:40.000 you switched it on. And I feel like, for love Austin, 0:03:40.080 --> 0:03:43.600 we were having these conversations almost like weekly, you know. 0:03:43.680 --> 0:03:46.000 I think for our team, we had built up this 0:03:46.160 --> 0:03:49.600 huge like stretch of winning matches and playing well, then 0:03:49.640 --> 0:03:52.000 began a stretch of like not playing well and trying 0:03:52.040 --> 0:03:56.080 to gain some type of like camaraderie and raw But 0:03:56.160 --> 0:03:58.080 that's how it was last season. It was always just 0:03:58.080 --> 0:04:01.360 trying to you know, tooth and nail about just trying 0:04:01.400 --> 0:04:04.320 to find something to grass to get us kind of going. 0:04:04.680 --> 0:04:06.800 My favorite moment, I would say, is just I don't. 0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:08.040 Honestly, I don't really have one. 0:04:08.080 --> 0:04:11.040 I think every day was just just a joy to 0:04:11.040 --> 0:04:12.320 be in the gym, and like that's why I just 0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:13.800 tick it ass, Like every day I'm just coming here 0:04:13.840 --> 0:04:15.200 be the best I can be, and then like that's 0:04:15.200 --> 0:04:15.800 pretty much it. 0:04:15.840 --> 0:04:19.040 So it's all you goodly do too, exactly, I think 0:04:19.080 --> 0:04:21.359 as we get older too. I was like reflecting with 0:04:21.400 --> 0:04:24.120 Mica the other day, like I honestly just love. 0:04:24.279 --> 0:04:25.599 Being in the gym in general. 0:04:25.640 --> 0:04:28.560 Now it's not like Okay, I have to win this, 0:04:28.680 --> 0:04:30.000 or I have to do this, or I have to 0:04:30.040 --> 0:04:32.919 do like this to make me happy. It's like no, really, 0:04:32.920 --> 0:04:35.240 like the daily grind is so fun for me, and 0:04:36.080 --> 0:04:38.960 like getting to you know, be there with the younger 0:04:39.000 --> 0:04:41.640 girls kind of coach them along or just like yeah, 0:04:41.680 --> 0:04:44.359 you know, help like help everyone in the gym do 0:04:44.400 --> 0:04:46.400 what they need to do is like fun for me now. 0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:49.159 So yeah, it's it's definitely a shift of like what 0:04:49.240 --> 0:04:51.240 volleyball used to be for me, and I think that's 0:04:51.279 --> 0:04:53.640 been a really cool experience of this season as well. 0:04:54.120 --> 0:04:55.960 Yeah, I would say, especially like I think part of 0:04:55.960 --> 0:04:58.120 that is like snow in your roles. I think, like, yeah, 0:04:58.160 --> 0:05:00.440 we know, I know, if my name it's called, I 0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:02.599 can play a pivotal role in like being a starter 0:05:02.720 --> 0:05:04.120 or doing whating to do as far as like being 0:05:04.160 --> 0:05:06.160 out there at starting six, but also knowing a rule 0:05:06.240 --> 0:05:08.480 far as like okay, like I am also a bench 0:05:08.520 --> 0:05:10.239 player and making sure I'm giving to like the people 0:05:10.279 --> 0:05:11.680 around me and the girls are on the court, as 0:05:11.720 --> 0:05:12.400 well as giving. 0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:13.280 Feedback kind of stuff too. 0:05:13.320 --> 0:05:15.640 So I think that just comes with just being comfortable 0:05:15.680 --> 0:05:17.040 and knowing what you're doing, Like I don't have to 0:05:17.040 --> 0:05:19.320 find an identity right now, like anymore. 0:05:18.960 --> 0:05:21.479 Like volleyball is like it's so ficked on my career. 0:05:21.520 --> 0:05:22.280 You know, it's so much fun. 0:05:22.400 --> 0:05:23.560 You know your bet now, and just kind of like 0:05:23.560 --> 0:05:25.120 playing the game is how you want to play it, 0:05:25.240 --> 0:05:26.960 like no one kind of telling you what to do. 0:05:27.040 --> 0:05:28.839 You're doing it is your own style this point that 0:05:28.880 --> 0:05:31.000 kind of thing too. So anyone that surprised you this 0:05:31.080 --> 0:05:32.320 season anything. 0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:34.640 I mean it's a team surprise right now would be. 0:05:36.360 --> 0:05:42.600 Surprise surprise, okay, anyway I would say, well, okay, surprise, 0:05:42.680 --> 0:05:44.919 but also not surprise, like how they they beat us 0:05:44.960 --> 0:05:46.360 twice at the beginning of the year when we were 0:05:46.440 --> 0:05:48.240 zero three, and I was like, dang, this team is 0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:51.080 really good, and I think like we saw that at 0:05:51.120 --> 0:05:53.560 the beginning, and then they had that ull kind of 0:05:53.560 --> 0:05:55.479 in the last half of the season, and I was like, 0:05:56.200 --> 0:05:59.040 what's happening here? And then we played them our last 0:05:59.040 --> 0:06:01.640 match at home, and it like we were like, Okay, 0:06:01.720 --> 0:06:04.120 we're feeling good. We're going to our next match like 0:06:04.200 --> 0:06:07.280 clinch first, and then going into Semis, We're like, Okay, 0:06:07.320 --> 0:06:09.240 this team has the potential to be really good, but 0:06:09.279 --> 0:06:11.880 like we haven't seen that in a minute, so like whatever, 0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:14.120 and then they play their best volleyball they've played all season, 0:06:14.160 --> 0:06:17.080 and I was like, Okay, this team is really good, 0:06:17.200 --> 0:06:19.880 you know, like I you showed up and played when 0:06:19.920 --> 0:06:22.480 it mattered, and that sucks for us, and like we 0:06:22.520 --> 0:06:25.839 definitely gave it everything that we had. So I can't 0:06:25.839 --> 0:06:29.000 be upset with like our team at all, because I 0:06:29.040 --> 0:06:31.520 feel like we did go down fighting, especially in the 0:06:31.520 --> 0:06:35.320 golden set that was like the most intense volleyball dog 0:06:35.360 --> 0:06:37.760 fight I feel like we've ever done. So I mean, 0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:40.400 perhaps to them, they're a great team, so it sucks. 0:06:40.520 --> 0:06:42.719 I mean losing sucks and losing like that really sucks, 0:06:42.720 --> 0:06:45.279 but that is the nature of sports. 0:06:45.680 --> 0:06:48.039 Yeah, my surprise is definitely Austin. 0:06:48.320 --> 0:06:53.600 I am surprised just because, like I mean, am I surprised, 0:06:54.360 --> 0:06:57.080 Yes and no, just because like this is just what 0:06:57.480 --> 0:07:01.479 love Austin does. Like I think the more it was 0:07:01.520 --> 0:07:05.800 more crunch time, and I'm like, we work really well 0:07:05.800 --> 0:07:08.320 on like high pressure environments and situations as it is anyway, 0:07:08.400 --> 0:07:11.000 so I'm like, at this point, it doesn't really matter 0:07:11.040 --> 0:07:12.960 what's happening as long as everyone comes to get towards 0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:14.920 the end, which I think was what happened towards end 0:07:14.960 --> 0:07:15.760 is kind of what mattered. 0:07:15.800 --> 0:07:17.960 So I do fell back for Jordan Larson. 0:07:18.000 --> 0:07:22.120 Obviously, she was an amazing tribute for the sport, and 0:07:22.320 --> 0:07:24.200 you know, you didn't want her career going out like that, 0:07:24.280 --> 0:07:26.040 you know, to lose and just such a such like 0:07:26.080 --> 0:07:28.640 a small percentage of points, you know what I mean. 0:07:28.800 --> 0:07:32.119 Like if this was your real rules, it'd be totally different. 0:07:32.160 --> 0:07:34.120 But since then it's not, you know, it's when's the 0:07:34.160 --> 0:07:36.760 losses and other stuff, so shout out to her. 0:07:37.280 --> 0:07:40.240 Yeah, yeah, that's I mean, it is crazy, like the 0:07:40.920 --> 0:07:44.080 a three way tie the last match of the season 0:07:44.120 --> 0:07:46.880 going into playoffs, like you couldn't have written it up better. 0:07:47.040 --> 0:07:49.000 And none of this, I mean, for the people that 0:07:49.080 --> 0:07:51.120 are like this was scripted, it was not. 0:07:51.520 --> 0:07:54.000 Unfortun it was not. 0:07:54.120 --> 0:07:56.520 I think like, Okay, the league is just that strong 0:07:56.560 --> 0:08:00.600 and we have so many great talented players that that's 0:08:00.640 --> 0:08:02.000 just how it shook out, which. 0:08:01.960 --> 0:08:05.360 Actually blows all of our minds too. So yeah, that 0:08:05.480 --> 0:08:06.480 was wild. 0:08:06.680 --> 0:08:09.240 Like us, we were in Atlanta watching both games go on, 0:08:09.320 --> 0:08:10.880 and it was like, Okay, if these people lose and 0:08:10.920 --> 0:08:13.240 then they're both in and if but and I was like, 0:08:13.280 --> 0:08:15.640 I literally can't even follow, like it. 0:08:15.640 --> 0:08:17.360 Looks like you just can't lose. 0:08:17.720 --> 0:08:18.960 Yeah, exactly exactly. 0:08:19.720 --> 0:08:21.600 I mean it is cool just to see like that 0:08:21.720 --> 0:08:24.280 everybody can win. I mean, you guys two years in 0:08:24.320 --> 0:08:27.200 a row now have showed up when it mattered. 0:08:27.480 --> 0:08:34.640 Yeah, exactly, good for you when thank you, which I 0:08:34.679 --> 0:08:37.720 would say, like that's for me the biggest like change 0:08:37.720 --> 0:08:39.800 from season one to season two because like now it's 0:08:39.800 --> 0:08:41.120 like the top four teams had. 0:08:40.960 --> 0:08:43.600 To go last last year, like everyone got to go. 0:08:43.600 --> 0:08:45.560 But I think what you said or Molly said that, 0:08:45.720 --> 0:08:48.840 like even with this type of like setup for the 0:08:48.880 --> 0:08:51.319 best two out of three the first day, does it 0:08:51.440 --> 0:08:53.080 really matter what do you think does it really. 0:08:53.120 --> 0:08:53.720 Because it isn't. 0:08:53.800 --> 0:08:56.679 It isn't two out of three, you know, so technically 0:08:56.800 --> 0:09:00.920 like even going into the finals, now, whoever ends tomorrow, 0:09:01.360 --> 0:09:04.439 it doesn't matter. Yeah, it's basically just a warm up 0:09:05.760 --> 0:09:07.360 because the second day is the only one that matters. 0:09:07.360 --> 0:09:09.000 So whoever's how the second day is going to take 0:09:09.000 --> 0:09:13.920 it doesn't Like if you win three zero tomorrow, who cares. 0:09:14.360 --> 0:09:17.120 Yeah. True, so it's. 0:09:16.920 --> 0:09:19.280 A one in my mind. Now it's a one and done. 0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:24.640 You just have an extra season match.

I think that's a lot better than it 0:12:20.000 --> 0:12:23.400 was last year. I think they're getting more organized just 0:12:23.440 --> 0:12:25.960 with like kind of like you know, placing girls and 0:12:26.000 --> 0:12:28.680 having those conversations as well as like you know, when 0:12:28.679 --> 0:12:30.480 we do need anything, they're the league is pretty much 0:12:30.480 --> 0:12:32.400 getting there for that, especially for my situation obviously that 0:12:32.440 --> 0:12:34.880 I got sick and stuff.

Honestly, it was just more of black because 0:12:53.559 --> 0:12:55.040 it was just so much going on, and I think 0:12:55.040 --> 0:12:57.520 the first like three days, it was just so uncertain 0:12:57.520 --> 0:13:03.920 what was happening. So I basically had a small intestine rupture. 0:13:04.120 --> 0:13:07.640 That's like not the thing. It's so rare for that 0:13:07.679 --> 0:13:10.439 to even happen to anyone, especially in that location, and 0:13:11.280 --> 0:13:13.520 I had no idea, I had no symptoms. I was training, 0:13:13.559 --> 0:13:15.840 I was working out, and then it wasn't until we 0:13:15.840 --> 0:13:18.320 were playing away Madison and this and the team. A 0:13:18.320 --> 0:13:20.920 few of the girls on the team, including myself, caught 0:13:20.960 --> 0:13:23.760 like a little bug of like food poisoning basically, and 0:13:23.800 --> 0:13:27.199 obviously everybody else's bodies digested that the way it should 0:13:27.200 --> 0:13:30.719 go naturally, and then mine that poison leaked into E. 0:13:30.840 --> 0:13:31.200 Coli. 0:13:31.240 --> 0:13:33.840 Whatever it was in the food leaked into my domino, 0:13:33.880 --> 0:13:35.840 which is already been effective for my own bowels and 0:13:35.960 --> 0:13:38.240 toxics and stuff, and it just let up all those signals. 0:13:38.280 --> 0:13:40.599 So going in they thought that I had like a 0:13:40.679 --> 0:13:43.559 ruptured assess because I had a lot of like fluid 0:13:43.600 --> 0:13:46.439 on my pelvis. So I went one surgery to remove 0:13:46.440 --> 0:13:47.079 the fluid. 0:13:46.880 --> 0:13:48.120 And they realized that wasn't it. 0:13:48.640 --> 0:13:51.160 And then like a day later, two yeah, a day 0:13:51.240 --> 0:13:52.680 or two later, I wanted to go on a very 0:13:52.920 --> 0:13:56.240 inbacious surgery, which they found out that I had a 0:13:56.320 --> 0:13:57.280 rupture small intestine. 0:13:57.320 --> 0:13:58.840 So they had to go on there cut that out. 0:13:59.400 --> 0:14:01.040 They could have had a foot of my testins out 0:14:01.080 --> 0:14:03.640 removed by appendix, put me all back together, and they're like, okay, 0:14:04.400 --> 0:14:06.400 you're here, and I was there.
