Kerri Walsh Jennings: Oh, you know me, always on the move! Just wrapped up a few community events and squeezed in some practice. Speaking of training, how’s the season shaping up for you?
Luke Perry: It’s been intense but exciting. Our team chemistry is really starting to click. We’re focusing on improving our defensive strategies now. What’s new on your end?
