Path to volleyball and Penn State

Playing for the great Russ Rose

Sticking out a pro career

Growing in love with LOVB

Haleigh’s on-court personality

The Book Dragon

A potential coaching career?

No. 3 Penn State picked up a big top-25 win at No. 16 USC over the weekend, and we thought it was the perfect excuse to chat with Penn State alum and LOVB Salt Lake middle Haleigh Washington. A two-time Olympic medalist with Team USA, Haleigh had barely considered playing professionally until legendary coach Russ Rose pulled her aside and encouraged her to put her all into a pro career. After two Olympic appearances and seven years in Italy, Haleigh is coming home and looking forward to changing how volleyball is watched in the U.S. She discusses what it’s like to play for not one but two legends and her deep love of books and reading, among many other topics, in the latest episode of Serving Pancakes.
