Pro Athlete Kerri Walsh Jennings Has some Tricks up her Sleeve

How does someone train to become the most decorated beach volleyball player of all time and still maintain a sense of normalcy in their day-to-day? Kerri Walsh Jennings will tell you it takes a whole lot of mental toughness, resilience and consistently committing to healthy habits fueled by natural energy from foods like almonds. Whether she’s navigating the unpredictable ebbs and flows of life at home with three kids or curveballs in the heat of beach volleyball competition, she preserves her competitive yet composed state by grounding herself in the wellness routines that fuel her every day. California Almonds has teamed up with Kerri to share her best kept secrets to sustaining her energy, no matter what each day brings.

Let’s face it – we can all learn a thing or two from the best of the best. According to a recent California Almonds survey that used Ipsos’ KnowledgePanel* and surveyed 4,027 adults, more than 8 out of 10 consumers wish they could pick up a good morning habit. Most adults surveyed (88%) admit that they don’t even prepare a morning snack to keep them satisfied through the day. Kerri’s dedication to meeting her goals, despite any circumstance, forces her to mindfully create healthy habits that we can all replicate and maintain. She relies on naturally nutritious almonds to elevate her energy levels in between drills.

“My body needs natural energy-boosting foods to perform my best during the day and radiate love and joy to my kiddos and my hubby at night,” said Kerri. “It’s important to make good choices and do the best I can with the things I can control – from my workouts and stretches to the snacks my family and I enjoy together. For me, choosing almonds and almond milk as my go-tos throughout the day help keep me satiated and steady, no matter what my day looks like.”
