Whether in the locker room, the community, or at home, our goal should not be to simply behave in a specific way. It should instead be to instill the correct values in our hearts, so that our actions will flow out unimpeded, confirming what we truly believe. ”

My grandmother and my father always said I would end up as a missionary. Well, I feel like I am one now. ”

I think, over the time that you're in the league, you learn what your body needs: you learn the amount of soft tissue work you need, the amount of dry needling, or the amount of sleep or your nutrition. You also understand that you have to pull back. ”

I think, as athletes, we've been given a platform, and we can use it in a lot of different ways. We can use it for negative. We can use it for positive. We can be indifferent. But if you've been given a platform, I think God is pleased when you share... His truth in love. ”

I don't approve of many of the attacks of Black Lives Matter. I don't. ”

The reason why 'Black Lives Matter' is a chant is because a lot of people feel, myself included, that sometimes they don't matter. ”

White people think one thing and black people think another thing about the same event. And we automatically, before we really know what happened, kind of pick our sides. ”

Our loyalty is not to our grandparents, the traditions, our volleyball team, our friends; as believers, our loyalty is to Scripture. ”
