It’s a lifestyle. 🌊🏐

The early mornings, the long days in the sun, the sand, the salt, the sweat, and the people who make it all worth it.

This past weekend was all about beach volleyball, good teammates, and doing what we love. But an active lifestyle doesn’t stop when the game ends. It’s about taking care of your body, too.

After hours in the sun, wind, and salt air, our skin deserves a little extra love. That’s why we believe in keeping things simple, nourishing our skin with grass-fed tallow, and making wellness part of the everyday.

Move hard. Play outside. Take care of yourself. Repeat.

That’s the Head to Tail lifestyle. 🤎

15 partners, 30 tournaments (1 left), 10 states, better part of 7 months. trying to make the avp while living in new york was always going to be logistically ridiculous. doing it without a consistent partner felt even more daunting. a lot of people plainly just don’t understand it. and i admit that even reading it, it sounds counterintuitive. but i love new york city. and clearly i love beach volleyball. and the community here has been the best thing to ever happen to my game. i never broke into the upper echelons of the south bay training groups, and quite honestly, i’ve been overlooked every step of the way. representing nyc wherever i go is a great honor and there is an abundance of talent here. we just don’t have the local tournaments to showcase it. there are blueprints to a great beach volleyball career outside of CA and FL. and i’m trying to write my own in real time.

i got the most sick i’d been in years this past december. and the thing i thought about the most during that time was that i had to qualify this year. after making the game to get in in denver last year and the schedule that was released, it felt inexcusable to not do so. and i ended up doing it, and making it with 4 other new yorkers on top of that. by june. i achieved most of my goals this year, i also lost a lot and didn’t even find a partner at times. i was on a variety of big stages: south beach court 1, va beach center court, pottstown center court, dewey center court, 6 man vs martha’s, mbo court 1, michelle o’neill. i’ve never felt as prepared for those moments. and i’m really proud of the focus i had this year. in all honesty, i’m not sure i’ll ever be able to play this much again, but i’m sure as hell gonna try. and i really feel like i have laid the foundation to chase what i always wanted - as many main draws as this body will allow. people say that beach volleyball needs more storytelling and personability. well, here’s a piece of my story.

ps shamelessly plugging that @jaredzwy and i are looking for sponsors next season, with the piling up entry, travel, and accommodation costs. please hit my line if you’re interested 🙏
