My guest on this episode is Haleigh Washington. Haleigh is a professional volleyball player and a member of the US Women’s National Team that won the Olympic Gold Medal in indoor volleyball this summer in Tokyo, Japan. Haleigh is a graduate of Penn State Univeristy, where she was a 3-time All-American and helped lead her team to a Big Ten title, two final four appearances, and an NCAA Championship title. She currently plays for the professional club team Igor Gorgonzola in Novara, Italy. Tune in for a conversation about Haleigh’s journey to volleyball, how a growth mindset fueled her development into an elite athlete, her passion for learning on and off the court, and of course, the road to winning an historic gold medal at the Olympic Games.
You’ll find Haleigh on the web. She’s @Hales__Storm on Instagram and @Hales__Yeah on Twitter. (FYI those are double underscores).
