Serving Pancakes: Episode 3 Annie Drews

Opposite hitter Annie Drews may have been a latecomer to volleyball, but that hasn’t stopped her from a pro career that’s sent her to Puerto Rico, Italy, Japan and more. The Elkhart, Indiana, native overcame that slow start to earn a spot on the U.S. National Team, and she powered the squad to the gold medal at the 2020 Olympic Games. After yet another nudge along her path, she’s coming home to play in front of family and friends with LOVB Madison Volleyball. Alongside host Tiffany Oshinsky, Annie reflects on her path from aspiring dancer to being part of the foundation of a new era in volleyball.

Chapters include:
The growth spurt that helped Annie rediscover volleyball
Being a late bloomer in the game
Nudged toward a pro career
Day-to-day as a professional athlete
From Tokyo to the altar
Mapping out the road to LOVB
