Volleyball is a lifelong sport, and no one knows this better than our two guests today. After an outstanding career at the University of Texas, Juliann Faucette played professionally overseas but twice decided to pause her career to start and grow her family. She’ll restart it again this winter as a member of LOVB Austin Volleyball. A former libero at Northwestern, Emily Ehman has remained in volleyball as a broadcaster, becoming the face of volleyball on the Big Ten Network and also working NCAA Division I Championships, Volleyball Nations League and other renowned tournaments. The two talk a life of volleyball, U.S. versus France, what to look for in the Olympic knockout stage, and more with host Tiffany Oshinsky. Topics include: 

• Juliann’s progression as an athlete to athlete-mom
• The growth of volleyball
• U.S. vs. everybody
• Veterans 🤝 next gen
• How hard is it to make an Olympic roster?
• Once a Longhorn, always a Longhorn
• Takeaways from pool play
• Playoff prognostication
• Bringing it home with LOVB
• Leaving the game but not leaving the game
