In this episode of Unstoppable, Olympic and professional volleyball player Angela Rock joins Lori for a candid, refreshing conversation about the real path of an athlete — the highs, the setbacks, and the determination that carries you forward.
Angela’s story is striking: during her time at San Diego State, she was briefly cut from the volleyball team, yet ultimately rose to become an Olympian and one of the most accomplished pro beach-volleyball players, with 27 tournament wins across multiple tours. Her honesty about the ups and downs offers a rare look inside the mindset of someone who refused to quit.
In this conversation, Angela shares:
• The moments that tested her — and the moments that shaped her
• How early disappointments became motivation
• What long-term competitive life really feels like
• Her passion for helping young athletes grow with confidence and clarity
This episode gives listeners an intimate inside look at the mind of a world-class athlete — not just the triumphs, but the truth behind them.
True to the Unstoppable style, the episode begins with a fully sound-designed, dramatic opening story that pulls listeners into the world before the interview even begins
