"One focus at a time..."

It's been a few years in the making. An interview with someone too humble to call attention to her incredible career as both an exceptional indoor player and now AVP and FIVB Champion on the sand.

Betsi Metter Flint, (Just Flint these days) came up through the Arizona club and sand system, starting with the YMCA and progressed to an indoor and outdoor career at Loyola Marymount University in California. Along the way, she has been a role model to many of Arizona's younger players: her talent, work ethic and humility and now shares that as a Coach with the sand team of LMU Sand team.

With her partner Kelley Larsen, Betsi was the youngest winner of an AVP event in history in 2015, won two FIVB tournaments this season and medaled in another and is on course to give a run at being one of the two women's teams to represent the USA in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

But as you'll hear, the odds are long and just the discussion of their daily grind would stop most people at the description. Both Betsi and Kelley are committed to each other and more importantly, the process which has taken them around the world and just a few days after this interview, to Australia.

Enjoy this interview with Betsi as she talks about her career, her partner, the struggle of qualifying and the transition from player to coach to player and coach.
