\u201cIt takes time to develop trust and confidence in each other (and) get the handle on teamwork\u2026\u00a0 We felt as if we both could play blindfolded.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

As individuals, they were great volleyball players. Misty May won a state championship in high school and a national championship at Long Beach State University. She finished 5th<\/sup> in the 2000 Olympics in beach volleyball. Kerri Walsh led her high school team to three state championships and two national championships while at Stanford University. As a member of the US women\u2019s indoor team, she earned a 4th<\/sup> place finish.<\/p>\n

But, as a team<\/em>, Misty and Kerri became icons. They ended their journey at the 2012 Olympic Games as the greatest beach volleyball team of all time. \u201cWhat makes Kerri and Misty so in-sync as a duo is their ying and yang,\u201d said Jennifer Kessy, fellow volleyball player. \u201cThey are very opposite. They balance each other out. They need each other. They come together and make this pretty amazing team.\u201d<\/p>\n

It was actually Misty\u2019s parents who got the pair together. Misty\u2019s parents approached Kerri\u2019s parents at dinner in the Olympic Village after their daughter\u2019s \u201cdisappointing\u201d 5th<\/sup> place finish. Kerri\u2019s initial response about playing beach volleyball was pretty negative, \u201cI don\u2019t play beach volleyball because I don\u2019t want to look like an idiot in the sand.\u201d Kerri thought about it for a while, but ultimately decided to visit Misty in Southern California and give it a whirl. The heavens didn\u2019t magically open up that day. It took time to develop their chemistry. \u201cIt\u2019s unrealistic to think success will come instantly for a partnership,\u201d Misty smartly commented. \u201cIt takes time to develop trust and confidence in each other, get the handle on teamwork and the knack for court sense. It takes time to know what your partner is thinking and how she will respond in various situations.\u201d<\/p>\n

They began playing in tournaments during the 2001 season. They hired a coach, Dane Selznick, to develop their teamwork. \u201cEventually, Dane got us to the point where the game became totally instinctive every time the ball was in the air,\u201d Misty commented. \u201cI felt as if we both could play blindfolded.\u201d Slowly, but surely, the pair began to gel.\u00a0 Slowly, but surely, the pair began to win championships. By the time, the 2004 Sydney Olympics arrived, they were the #1 seed and the prohibitive favorites.<\/p>\n

The team of Kerri Walsh & Misty May worked perfectly together like \u201cFred Astaire and Ginger Rogers.\u201d They won the gold medal without losing a set, becoming the first Americans to win gold in beach volleyball.\u00a0 After defeating the Brazilians 21-17, 21-11, Kerri fell to her knees and Misty tackled her hard. \u201cI didn\u2019t care if I\u2019d broken both of her knees in the celebration,\u201d Misty said. This photo became the iconic moment of the 2004 Olympic games. Mission complete.<\/p>\n

Of course, this Olympic duo was not through.\u00a0 They continued their partnership and dominated beach volleyball for the next several years. In 2008, Kerri and Misty rolled into the Olympics in Beijing, China, once again considered the overwhelming favorites to win gold. They were riding a streak that boasted 101 straight match wins and 18 consecutive tournament victories. And, once again, they rolled through the competition without losing a set. The gold medal match was played under a torrential downpour, but even poor weather couldn\u2019t stop this team. They defeated the #1 Chinese team 21-19, 21-18. The announcer made the following call on match point: \u201cKerri slammed it straight down the center, putting an exclamation point on their victory, on their careers, and on history.\u201d<\/p>\n

After the 2008 games, the pair decided to take a break. Kerri and her husband decided to start a family. Misty decided to take on other life challenges. One of Misty\u2019s first adventures was Dancing with the Stars<\/em>. She was doing well in the competition until she slipped in her high heels and tore her Achilles tendon. It would be 18 months before Misty would play volleyball again. Misty, however, didn\u2019t want to go down this way. One day in 2010, she told her husband that she needed to give world-class beach volleyball one more shot before officially retiring. Then she told Kerri about her decision to play again.<\/p>\n

That \u201cone shot\u201d was the 2012 games in London, England. Kerri and Misty were no longer the number 1 seed and they in fact did lose a set in a preliminary match. However, they dominated the competition and won their third Olympic gold medal by defeating the #2 American team, 21-16, 21-16. It was a fitting end for the most accomplished duo in the history of beach volleyball. They had won all of the big points in all of the big matches.<\/p>\n

\u201cMisty May and Kerri Walsh did for volleyball what Wayne Gretzky did for hockey and Magic Johnson did for basketball,\u201d commented volleyball player, Brian Gimmillaro. \u201cThey all changed the way the game was played.\u201d This duo will be forever remembered as consummate teammates. They had perfected their communication and trust until they could anticipate each other\u2019s movements in highly important moments. They were tremendous teammates who proved to be an unbeatable team.<\/p>\n
