Just a Good Conversation Jordan Larson

Jordan Larson is a three time (2012, 2016, 2021) USA Olympic Women's Volleyball player. Her 2021 Olympics win allowed her to complete the trifecta of winning an Olympic bronze, silver, and gold medal. Not bad for a kid from Hooper Nebraska. Jordan started her college volleyball career at the University of Nebraska. In 2006, she led the Huskers to the NCAA title and was named to the AVCA All-America First Team. In 2008, as a senior, she was named to the AVCA All-America First Team. She was also chosen as the Big 12 Player of the Year and the league's defensive player of the year; it was the first time that a player achieved both in the same year. Over her four-year college career, Larson had a total of 1,600 kills and 1,410 digs. Larson graduated from the University of Nebraska in 2008 with a degree in communications studies. On June 7, 2021, US National Team head coach Karch Kiraly announced Larson would be part of the 12-player Olympic roster for the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, her third straight Olympic Games. She has discussed how this would be her last Olympics, and she became the fifth oldest volleyball player in USA history to be named to an Olympic roster. We talk about how it all started, growing up a small mid west town of 800 people, leadership, marriage and coaching. In January 2022, Larson was named as an assistant coach for the University of Texas women's volleyball team, her first collegiate coaching role.
