Kristen Tupac wanted to be a professional athlete. At first, she thought it would be softball, but when softball was eliminated from the Olympics in 2008, she didn’t see a future there. So, she pursued volleyball, aspiring to play at its highest level. Now, the Cedar Rapids Kennedy and Iowa State grad is Zooming in from Dallas, where she’s playing professional volleyball with Athletes Unlimited, a player-led grassroots volleyball league in the United States. The league concludes its season this weekend. On this episode of the On Iowa Podcast, Tupac talks to The Gazette's Leah Vann about Athletes Unlimited, its unique points system, her charity work, the future of professional volleyball in the U.S. and more.  |
