## Resource

It's the first Viral Volley Podcast of the summer! To kick it off former Florida St. and LMU Beach standout Avery Poppinga shares about the start of her volleyball journey struggling with scoliosis, playing in Texas, to Florida St. and finally to Loyola Marymount. Avery talks about the wonderful, yet different coaching she received from Brooke Niles and John Mayer and additional back issues she suffered with during COVID. Avery then discusses her current life as a pro-beach volleyball athlete and how she is navigating the pursuit of her dreams, traveling across the USA and the world competing in multiple tours, which has lead her to OnlyFans. Avery, along with other pro-beach standouts Alaina Chacon, Falyn Fonoimoana and Hagen Smith are featured on "Perfect Set" on OFTV-- a competition to see which pro can coach their team to a $50,000 grand prize!
