Volleyball Ireland are bringing Kerri Walsh Jennings – the greatest beach volleyball player of all time – to Ireland in a virtual form next Monday as part of its Inspiring Players Series.
The Californian will be sharing insights and experiences of her unrivalled career, where she claimed three Olympic Gold Medals, three consecutive World Championships and 112 consecutive victories with partner Misty May Treanor.
She is also the top-earning female Beach Volleyball player of all time with over €2.5m in tournament winnings.
“As a proud American of Irish descent, I am honoured and a bit giddy about this upcoming experience with Volleyball Ireland,” said Jennings.
“One of the biggest gifts of my 30 years of experience has been the wisdom I’ve earned and certainly the biggest gift of all the heartache and pain I’ve endured, is that I get to share that insight and those learnings with other athletes who can learn from it as well, though in a less painful way.”
The event will be broadcast live on Volleyball Ireland’s YouTube Channel on Monday, December 7th, at 8 pm with members of the Volleyball Ireland community invited to submit questions to Kerri in advance via gm@volleyballireland.com (Subject: Kerri Qs).
The chat is ideally aimed at players, coaches and parents alike.
Jennings is currently working towards the re-scheduled 2021 Tokyo Olympics Games with new partner Brooke Sweat, alongside her vocation of motivating and inspiring athletes of tomorrow through her online platform p1440.
That is based on the fact that there are 1,440 minutes in each day.
This should be a worthwhile way of spending some of next Monday’s in the company of a global sporting star.
