Episode Description from the Publisher

What does it take to stay hungry when you've already reached the top? Kerri Walsh Jennings is the most decorated beach volleyball player of all time. She's a five-time Olympian,  three-time gold medalist, and one of the most dominant athletes of all time. But what fueled that level of sustained greatness wasn't just a desire to win. Kerri loved the work it took to get there. In this conversation, we talk about how she maintained her drive and intensity for so long, how she learned to manage pressure and her inner critic, and why she now thinks of hard moments as reps instead of tests. We also talk about motherhood and ambition, navigating loss after years of dominance, and separating your identity from your achievements. Whether you're chasing a big goal or simply trying to get better, Kerri's perspective is a powerful reminder that lasting success isn't just about reaching the destination. It's about learning to love the pursuit. More from Molly: Get Molly's latest book, Dynamic Drive Website: mollyfletcher.com
