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.

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.

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.
