Kerri Walsh on improving her game by playing tough competition

“We have five of the top teams in the world (on the AVP). Nobody likes playing Americans, and we are fortunate - and it’s kind of a mixed blessing - because we get to play these teams so often. We get to know each other inside and out, which is good and bad.
But ultimately, it’s making us better for the gold in Beijing. That’s what we want so bad, and playing these girls every single weekend is going to make us so much better.”
