Misty May-Treanor

A true icon of the sport, Misty May-Treanor is one of the most decorated and influential athletes in volleyball history. A three-time Olympic gold medalist and winner of 112 career titles, she is the most successful female beach volleyball player of all time. Alongside her legendary partner Kerri Walsh Jennings, May-Treanor captured Olympic gold in Athens (2004), Beijing (2008), and London (2012) — an unprecedented feat that solidified the duo as the greatest beach volleyball team in history. Her dominance on the sand was matched only by her consistency and skill, earning her numerous accolades including AVP Most Valuable Player (2005–2008), FIVB Best Defensive Player, and FIVB Most Outstanding Player honors.
Before conquering the beach, May-Treanor was a collegiate superstar at Long Beach State, where she was a two-time AVCA National Player of the Year, three-time Big West Player of the Year, and led her team to the 1998 NCAA Championship with an undefeated season. Following her retirement in 2012 after her third Olympic gold, she has remained a passionate ambassador for the sport and a role model for athletes worldwide. Today, May-Treanor continues to give back as a coach, mentor, and Special Olympics ambassador, holding a Master’s degree in Coaching and Athletic Administration from Concordia University Irvine. Her legacy transcends medals — she represents excellence, perseverance, and the spirit of the game.
