Misty May-Treanor Profile

  • She is a three-time Olympic champion and one of the top-ranked players in competitive beach volleyball history.

  • Known for her electric dynamic with her long-time teammate, Kerri Walsh Jennings, her insights on teamwork, building trust, and accountability are unrivaled.

  • Her solid character and passion for sports make her one of the country's most beloved and accessible emissaries for fitness and athletics.
  • With 107 career wins, Misty May-Treanor is the #1 ranked player in the history of competitive beach volleyball. Known for her rigorous ethics, values, and hard work, the three-time Olympic gold medalist is one of the most respected role models to come out of any sport.

    No other beach volleyball team has managed to match the seamless dynamic of Misty and her long-time partner Kerri Walsh Jennings. The duo broke onto the international scene with a gold-medal win at the Athens 2004 Olympics. They repeated their winning streak four years later in Beijing, not to mention an extensive collection of title championships, both nationally and worldwide, that they captured in between.

    Misty’s performance and solid character earned her numerous corporate sponsorships and media spotlight, including appearances on The Late Show with David Letterman, The Daily Show, and CSI Miami. A ruptured Achilles tendon may have ended her run on Dancing with the Stars in 2008, but did not stop her from going on to win her third and final gold with Walsh Jennings in the 2012 London Olympics.

    Since her retirement from competitive sports, Misty has been an active emissary of the Special Olympics and the Make-A-Wish Foundation. In 2013 she graduated with a master’s degree in coaching and administration and works as a volleyball coach in southern California and motivational speaker nationwide.

    Passionate about getting America fit, Misty has partnered with healthcare company Abbott to create “Full-Life Hacks,” a video series that aims to get families moving by showcasing silly fun activities they can do at home at low costs such as egg-and-spoon races and living room obstacle courses.
