Answer 5

Unlike her partner, Misty May-Treanor (who started volleyball at a very young age), Kerri Walsh picked it up in high school.  This alone should give testament to the fact that she is a natural athlete to begin with, but her body is designed specifically for volleyball. Her height, proportion of legs to upper body, everything....gives her the ability to cover alot of ground on the sand, in addition to allowing her to block in the 30-40% range.  As someone else said "because she is 6'3" of American muscle" could be another point as well.  American athletes get better training facilities, usually get paid to play and/or endorsement deals from Nike, Reebok, Adidas, etc. Add this to the fact that they are the hardest working nation in the world usually results in the best athletes as well.....look at Michael Phelps, all he does is eat 8,000-12,000 calories a day, swims for 4 hours, and sleeps...that's it, nothing else...it's train, train, train...and although he is definitely the exception to the rule, this is how most Americans take to sports, it's either all out or don't go it at all.   It shows in the medal count too by the way.  Kerri is amazing what she does on the court, but she is only half of the golden girls....I love 'em both!
