NOTABLE MENTIONS
"Once I started playing, there was no way I ever wanted to stop."
The Association of Volleyball Professionals interviews Terese in 2021: "If you told me when I was 15 years old that one day I'd be living in California playing as a professional beach volleyball player on the AVP, I probably would have said — no way, only in my wildest dreams."
Team USA Volleyball interviews Terese in 2025.
Terese talks about her excitement for next week's 2025 Beach Pro Tour Elite16 Newport Beach. She shares about how she got started in volleyball and beach volleyball. She also shares advice about how to look for a beach partner, competing professionally and so much more.
Terese Cannon: Scrapping a six-year Olympic plan to “go play because you like playing”
““At the end of this year I finally found my passion again. I like to compete and travel internationally because I want to be one of the best players in the world, so whether we’re going to go to the Olympics or not it’s still really cool for me to go to those Elite16 and Challenge events against the other top teams in the world and see how we stack up. I just remember why we like doing it and why it’s fun. Olympics or no Olympics, I still want to be the best.”
The Olympics, she knows, are out of the question. It’s why Kraft enrolled at USC. But that’s an event that happens once every four years. Why would Cannon let that deter her from her pursuit of being one of the best in the world? And that pursuit, make no mistake, is on. (Volleyball Mag, 2023)
