  Sep 1, 202652 minS15

  In this episode, Nalani Iosia and I discuss the following, and yes, it is volleyball-related- Starling South Bay Volleyball club, and playing for dad! Club volleyball, where can it take you? College recruitment The Grand Rapids Rise professional volleyball team Nutrition and rest for athletes Leadership Nalani Iosia was born and raised in Southern California, and is a professional volleyball player for Major League Volleyball’s Grand Rapids Rise. She has been playing volleyball since I was 5 years old and grew up in a volleyball family, so I’ve been surrounded by the game from an early age. I played club volleyball at the club my parents started, Starlings South Bay, before moving to Mizuno Long Beach, where I played for seven years. Nalani played high school volleyball at Redondo Union, and during my sophomore year, I verbally committed to play college volleyball at the University of Texas at Austin. She went on to play at Texas from 2020–2022 before transferring to Michigan State University, where I finished my college career from 2022–2024. Her freshman year at Texas, we made it to the National Championship, followed by an Elite Eight appearance my sophomore year. At Michigan State, I earned multiple Defensive Player of the Week awards and was named Defensive Player of the Year my senior year. After college, I was drafted by the Orlando Valkyries and helped the team win the 2025 PVF Championship.
