2007 is the beginning of a very exciting time for me. I am competing in my 17th season of professional beach volleyball and I have the opportunity to play with one of the best female indoor volleyball players to ever wear a USA jersey. Her name is Logan Tom and she is a national champion from Stanford University. She has competed in the last two Olympics for our national indoor team but is looking to make an impact on the beach. Logan was the AVP 2006 Rookie of the Year. We were able to play two events last season together before she suffered an injury, and I am very optimistic about our future together.
This season is very important for us. 2007 is the first of two Olympic qualifying seasons as well as the biggest AVP tour schedule that we have seen with 18 events all over the country. Logan is one of the best athletes that I have ever played with and I know that the more time she spends out on the beach, the more impressive her natural athletic ability will be. We will be coached by Marcio Sicoli, from Brazil. Marcio is 28 years old and has been coaching beach volleyball for a long time. He brings a creative and fun energy to the practice court every day. I have been enjoying my off season with Marcio and really working on some of the weaker parts of my game. Under Marcio’s tutelage, I think Logan and I have a great shot at qualifying for the Olympic games in Beijing, China.
With our first event in Miami, Florida April 13-15, I am eagerly anticipating my partner’s return from her other job, playing professional indoor volleyball in Spain. I can’t wait to get to work on the court with her.
