"I find myself listening to the song 'Headlines' by Drake a lot before matches," the beach volleyball player revealed. "I've listened to it for a long time. I feel like I started listening to it before matches since I played professionally in Italy which was like 2012 or something. It's just such a swaggy revenge song, so I always kind of go back to that song."

"But I also listen to all different kinds of genres: classical music, country, pop, alternative rock, anything you can imagine, I listen to."
