239. Jordan Thompson, Pro Volleyball Player & Olympic Gold Medalist

Jordan Thompson is on the ride of her life, playing for one of the best teams in Italy and gearing up as a hopeful for the 2024 Olympic team. Trading in a basketball for volleyball in middle school, the 6-foot-4 opposite knows what hard work and dilligence can do for both herself and her teammates. For today's episode, she shares what it's like playing so far from home, and how past injuries have taught her about resiliency and strength. Plus, she shares what it's really like for her to be an Under Armour-sponsored athlete, how much she values her teammates including favorite Jordan Larson (peep her episode of Hurdle, here), and how she got well-acquainted with a growth-mindset approach to life.
