Kerri Walsh Jennings - The Power of Vulnerability

Olympic volleyball legend Kerri Walsh Jennings embodies greatness. Not only that, she is as open about her insane ambition as she is her insecurities. Despite being part of a team that won 21 consecutive Olympic matches losing only a single set in their 11-year-run, she obsessively studies how to raise the bar again and again. Kerri talks about the continuous process to get better as an athlete and a human on this episode of Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu.
