"I also have started to tell myself that I earned this opportunity. I wanted it really badly, I worked really hard for it"
Earned it? Really? Wouldn't gotten incredibly lucky have been a more apt description?

Wouldn't gotten incredibly lucky have been a more apt description? Luck is when preparedness meets opportunity. IF anything she's just an opportunist. She put herself in this place by actually committing a full season to beach, if she hand't she wouldn't even be a mention for this. This is just the same as getting a promotion at work. |

Another question for Travis...Is getting a podcast with Kerri on your radar? Not sure if it’s a conflict of interest, whether she was approached & declined or not approached at all. Or sure how many on this board are that interested, however many of her fans are interested in her future plans. Thank you.

Wouldn't gotten incredibly lucky have been a more apt description? Delusional like KWJ. So previous work on her indoor craft has nothing to do with this. Only one year on the beach? Something to be said for belief in good things happening to those whose who work hard. Not saying that she didn’t get incredibly luck my to land Ross. But Ross saw something in her. My humble humble opinion..... |

You know more about beach volleyball, do you think that luck did play a part in this.........being in the right place at the right time? |

Going back to Maybe what has already been discussed...But how many decent choices did April Ross really have going forward to Toyko? I myself didn’t even think of Klineman but the more I think about this...It was a brilliant choice. She had a decent year on the AVP with a decent partner....She came from a very good college career & indoor career....The only really unknown is the caliber player Alix will be on the FIVB....Will They & can they stack up with the worlds best? They have a year to fine tune before qualifying begins....The April & Alix team we see in 2018 won’t necessarily be April & Alix team we see in 2020....
In my opinion April had to go younger and athletic.....She did that! Will it translate to Toyko Gold? Time will tell....

It's a gamble. Ross is gambling on potential.. and I love it! Alix is lucky she has potential.

You know more about beach volleyball, do you think that luck did play a part in this.........being in the right place at the right time? I think its almost exclusively luck, start with being 6'4, but Ross/Walsh breaking up for non-VB reasons, the current US blocker drought, the result of the WC final, Claes/Hughes staying together for non-VB reasons were all great breaks for Alix. Hope she runs with it though |

There were few topics that April did not want to discuss right off the top, so they didn’t. I’m sure that would be the same deal with Kerri. She has already answered the questions about the AVP & I’m sure she will tell us once again why she decided to not resign. She actually spoke at an event in CA a short while ago and spoke in length about her decision regarding the AVP. I’m sure what she won’t discuss is all the reasons why her & April Split.And there are several. I am a big April Ross fan as well as a big Kerri fan, but this sadly has been painted as Kerri being the bad guy and dumping April right before the season started, etc....The issues went both ways....Not one person to blame. If I’m way off base about the fans questions you would be referring to, I apologize. My first question to Kerri would be why aren’t you going out and taking a chance on an up and coming young defender? |

I do hope that both teams do well....I still can’t blame Sara for staying with Kelly though. Part of me really wanted to see what a Hughes/Walsh partnership would have looked like.... |
