Misty May Treanor Quotes
Misty May Treanor quotes and comments by other professional volleyball players. Misty May thoughts on the Olympics and success
"My favorite thing so far has been Oprah because she's like a god. Ellen's show was fun too, she's hilarious," May-Treanor gushed. "She gave Kerri and I butt pads and asked if my butt was ever sore because Kerri hits it so much."
Thoughts on being asked to do "Dancing With the Stars"
"I've always watched that show and deep down I thought it would be really fun to go on it. But I never thought I'd ever be picked to do it," May-Treanor revealed. "But, I guess they had interest in me and I found out in Beijing that they wanted me to be a competitor."
Comments during the 2008 Olympics"I like our pool and think we have a good mixture," said May-Treanor. "We've got a lefty in there and you don't see a lot of lefties on the tour, but we placed Greece and Norway and they had lefties. Cuba is crafty and experienced and then you have the little Japanese team that is a lot like the Lindquist sisters. It is going to be a good pool for us to get ready for single elimination."Comments on why not playing so well after the Olympics
"I explain it like this: It's like my husband's team, if they would win the World Series and then have 15 regular-season games after that," said May-Treanor, whose husband Matt plays for the Florida Marlins. "I enjoy being out here, but it is tough to expect to come out and stay at your peak (after an Olympic win)."
Comments on May winning 100 titles
"She's an amazing player," Branagh said. "She deserves every award she's ever received. Congratulations to her for all her hard work. She's changed the game."
"I didn't really think about the record," May-Treanor said. "...It's a team sport, so I look at more of the team record than the individual. The individual is nice, but I never would have gotten there had it not been for Holly (McPeak) and Kerri (Walsh)." "I think it's experience. We know where each other is going to be and where each other wants the ball," Kerri Walsh said. "And then we're relentless. I think we're savvy players, and we see the court well. But when in doubt, we keep the ball in play and let the other people make the mistakes. I think we were in tandem today when it counted. ... It's not always about hitting hard. It's about being smart." "They're just a great team," Youngs said. "We're a really good team, and they're a great team. Great teams make the plays when it matters like that. We have to find a way to make great plays two sets or three sets together. ... Nicole and I have pushed them in every single final we've played against them. It's made us a better team, and it's making them a better team. I just want to win some of these." Kerri Walsh comments on Misty May-Treanor, who injured her Achilles tendon participating in "Dancing With the Stars" earlier this year and hasn't played in 2009"She's doing great. She looks beautiful. She's very healthy. She's cleared to do everything - she's just missing a little strength. But she has full confidence in her movements and her agility, so it's just a matter of getting strength and all that, and she'll be back. She's playing volleyball. I think she's training with the Lindquists (Tracy and Katie). She offered to help Rachel and I train. She can run; she can do all the tricky things."May and Walsh comments on winning the Olympics
"Everyone talks about streaks and records, and now we really are," Walsh said, patting her gold medal, "in the history books."
"There's so many people that have helped us on this journey and it's just amazing," Walsh said afterwards. "We've grown from girls to women doing this. I always say thank you in my heart to them and to God. It's amazing the support we have. I would never ever take it for granted." 
All in all, the experience truly was one for the record books. As Walsh put it, "It's so poignant. It's so deep inside. We're older now. We can appreciate this. Athens was just an adrenaline rush, lightning in a bottle. This is more like soulful. It's wonderful."
"There are so many amazing players that came before us and girls yet to come," Walsh, forever humble, said. "But I'm so proud of what we've done."
