The Cheyenne River Lakota Tribal tradition

Finding volleyball through a layup

Realizing that going pro is an option

Overcoming isolation in her rookie year

Growing the game in Native communities 

Induction into the Indigenous Athletics HOF

Speaking for those unable to do so

Retiring from volleyball and rediscovering joy

Rug-making and textile work

October 14 is Indigenous Peoples' Day, and we’re honoring the occasion by chatting with middle blocker Lauren Schad. From Rapid City, South Dakota, Lauren is a member of the Cheyenne River Lakota Tribe and celebrates her culture as much as possible, which can be difficult for long parts of the year as she has played professionally in France for six seasons. Despite the distance, Lauren has always felt support from the Indigenous community and gives back by hosting volleyball clinics or supporting organizations that raise awareness of the missing and murdered Indigenous women epidemic. From South Dakota to San Diego to continental Europe, Lauren has brought her culture to wherever she’s lived. We’re honored for her to share it with LOVB today.

Volleyball over music…for now

Volleyball’s place in Puerto Rico

Getting to the U.S. for college volleyball

Burnout and a much-needed break

Bringing The Island to Minnesota

Playing in Puerto Rico’s first Olympics

The Hispanic contribution to volleyball

Passions outside of volleyball

Excitement for LOVB and LOVB Madison

Growing up in Puerto Rico, Daly Santana was told that she could do everything she wanted to in volleyball. That mindset served the budding outside hitter well in her teenage years – especially when she joined the Puerto Rican National Team at age 16, and later on adapting to life at the University of Minnesota. Now, after a decade of pro competition, Daly has softened her approach…off the court, at least. Using summers to rest and recuperate have left her energized and ready to take the court again when LOVB Madison begins play this winter. Daly celebrates that and countless other ways her Puerto Rican heritage has supported her with host Tiffany Oshinsky as we begin another season of Serving Pancakes.  Topics include:

*Break*ing into volleyball

Benefits of high-level club volleyball

Finding her voice as a leader by example

Meeting her future husband in college

Having a support system overseas

Kinships and cardsharps on Team USA

Finally playing in Madison

Sarah Wilhite Parsons isn’t the loudest person on the court. Being overly vocal just isn’t in her nature, and she knows that. Sarah is, though, very self-assured, and she has a strong sense of who she is and what she wants from life. She’s used that to great effect. From leading by example to meeting her future husband while in college, Sarah’s been able to live her life according to her own faith and values while maintaining a professional career overseas. Now, with LOVB Madison, her career comes full-circle, and she’ll end it by playing in front of the family and friends she treasures more than anything else. Discussion topics include:

We’ve got two interviews for you this time! First, host Tiffany Oshinsky checks in with Olympic bronze medalist and LOVB Head of Pro Integration Courtney Thompson, who’s on the ground in Paris. The two chat about what it’s like to be in Paris for the Olympics, what the arena feels like, and the U.S.’ quarterfinal sweep of Poland, among other topics. Also, Audrey and Nicole Nourse, four-time NCAA beach champions at USC, join the show to talk about the Olympics – both indoor and beach – team chemistry when your partner is your twin sister, using volleyball to develop character, and how the two built their social media presence as the Beach Volleyball Twins. 

Follow the Nourse twins together on Instagram and TikTok, or follow Audrey (Instagram) and Nicole (Instagram) separately. 

Follow Courtney on Instagram and listen to her new podcast, Beyond the Court: A LOVB Podcast, wherever you get your podcasts.
