I posted about the Tijana Boskovic interview in Episode 1
here for those interested, but just finished listening to the new Jordan Larson interview, which you can find
on Spotify. A few highlights:
- The interviewers were admittedly "star-struck" and raved about her contributions to her teams and how she excels at every facet of the game. They brought up how rare it is for a player to have Best Server, Best Receiver, Best Spiker and Best Blocker accolades.
- She speaks about Tijana and her work ethic and humility
- She talks about burnout and the interviewers hint that going straight from the VNL to the World Champs may have been a factor for underperforming at the World Champs.
- They discuss how Eczacibasi (the company) has helped with women's rights in Turkey
- A bit shocking: She may take next year off and she's been dealing with a small foot issue??
- There's an "inside joke" about Hill/Larson for beach in 2024
- Dream team: Zhu, Larson, Boskovic, Simge, Ognjenović, Rasic, Akinradewo // version 2 (players she's actually played on the same team with): substitute Maja Poljak for Rasic, and KYK for Zhu Ting
Overall, a nice interview! She came across very engaged and humble.
