This week’s conversation is with professional volleyball players and Olympians Alix Klineman and April Ross. Otherwise known as, The A-Team.
On August 6 of this year, Alix and April captured the gold medal at the 2020 Summer Olympics, after winning in straight sets versus Australia.
In the entire tournament, they went undefeated in match play, only losing one set throughout seven matches.
Two weeks later, the pair won the AVP Manhattan Beach Open, their second time winning this tournament together.
I’ve had the privilege to work with both of them - Alix while she was a member of the USA women’s national team for indoor volleyball and April throughout the 2016 Olympic Quad.
It was an absolute joy to watch them come together to grab the gold in Tokyo.
In this conversation, we discuss their journey to Gold… the formation of their partnership, their process for building trust, and what goes into performing at their best when the stakes are the highest.
