Once every four years, the sport of beach volleyball takes center court, spiking the globe’s attention at the Olympics.🏐🏅 This year, we met up with three-time Olympic Gold medalist Kerri Walsh Jennings at the Paris Olympic Games to shine a spotlight on Santa Monica’s impact on beach volleyball. 🌴🌊 “Not only is Santa Monica the birthplace of modern beach volleyball, but it was the place to train,” she reflected on the sport’s deep roots in our coastal city. "Santa Monica has always been a pinnacle in my life. Not only is it amazing for beach volleyball, with their 3.5 miles of white sand… now as someone who’s a mother, who appreciates being active and who wants to give my kids the amazing things I’ve experienced, Santa Monica is a no-brainer.” 🏖️ Hear more straight from the top champion here: https://lnkd.in/gXpn6RpV
