I would be lying if I said that I didn’t have doubts, but at the same time, the player I am, I just always believe that whatever I put my mind to, it’s going to happen. It was a goal and aspiration of mine and I was going to do whatever it took to make that happen. But, yeah, there were many moments along the way where I just thought maybe it wasn’t for me.

More quotes by Foluke Gunderson

I was fortunate enough to be surrounded by great coaches and fantastic teammates who showed me the ropes.

I never set out to have a long career in volleyball. I didn’t even know the professional world existed when I started.

I’m not exactly sure what I want to do once I finish my career, but I do know that I want to do something in medicine.

I think what’s helped me the most is the fact that I never looked too far ahead. I’ve kept my head down, put in the hard work, dreamed big, and tried to treat others the way I would want to be treated. And above all, I’ve been blessed.

For the longest time, I dreamt of becoming a mom AND a professional athlete. I’m proud to say that I am now both. Thank you to all the badass mothers who came before me and showed me that it was possible, and here’s to those who will follow in our footsteps.
