Misty's Blog - Switching Focus

Hi everyone! After an exciting victory in Beijing, I have began my dancing journey. Upon landing in Los Angeles on August 23rd I was met
by my Dancing with the Stars partner, Maksim Chmerkovsky. He is an amazing dancer and a great person. Together it is crazy fun!!! I can’t even begin to tell you all how excited I am to be a part of this season’s cast. I never thought in a million years that I would have this opportunity. Even though I have not most of the other competitors, I look forward to interacting and getting to know everyone. So far it has been a very challenging and humbling experience. Maks and I have had 8 practices so far, and I think we are doing alright. I am just trying to listen and take everything in (as far as instruction) without killing my self in high heels. Maks keeps on reminding me about my
posture and being lighter on my feet. For the first week we have to perform two dances. Our dances are the Foxtrot and the Mambo. We have
completed both, which is a relief, so now we can practice on our technique and tweak things a little. It seems like a blessing considering that we started 6 days behind the rest of the dancers. Well, I can’t wait for the show to start, I am so excited for everyone to see each of us having fun and improving. Talk to you again verysoon.

DREAM IN GOLD!!!

I played against you in college ball, and even remember watching you play at JO’s. :-) We’re the same age and my team nicknamed me Misty May in college b/c I was a hitter recruited and trained as a setter. Didn’t turn out so hot for me! You were my inspiration before you had a website and gold medals! I have now moved away from sports and into a new chapter of my life…being a mom. As you move into these new journeys I wish you the best of luck. Your wonderful spirit and drive are inspiring little girls everywhere to follow their dreams. And I can bet that becoming a mom yourself one day will trump that gold medal! Good luck

Congratulations on your win in Bejing; it was so exciting watching you and Kerri. I have a 10 year old daughter, Hailey who plays volleyball and is a big fan of yours. She has a school project that involves writing a letter to someone she looks up to for advice and she has chosen you. Is there a PO box that she can address her letter to? Thank you so much!

So the AVP site has this contest to see who would win If we cloned you and Kerri and you had to play against yourselves….Well my answer to that would have to be YOU. However the way I see it is you and Kerri compliment one another…its like the Ying and Yang…both sides need to be there. Hence why you girls are the #1 team in the world :) ha haaa.
But seeing as you dominate in kills and digs (hence #1 defensive player in the world) and are also great on the blocks, it think you would slightly be one up ;)
Perfect example would be todays match against Boss/Ross. AWESOME match! Keep up the great work girls and best of luck against EY/Branagh today in the finals. Win or lose….still and will always be #1!!!!!!!
See you both next wkend in Manhattan….CANT WAIT!!!
Thanks for being such great role models for the younger generation and also huge inspirations for myself. Watching you two play makes me work even harder to get better myself. Great motivators :)

Are you going to be playing here (Glendale) in the final in two weeks? I know the show is taking up most of your time???

Pam | on 13/9/08

I took my daughter and 5 ofher friends to watch you play in SF today on the Crocs AVP Tour. We were absolutely delighted you gave my daughter your signed headband from the match. You are so kind and patient with all your fans. Very commendable for a world class athlete like you. We really enjoyed watching you play. Best of luck on Dancing with the Stars, we will be voting for you!

GO MISTY & MAKS!! My sister and I are really excited to see that you’re doing a blog for the show. We’ve been BIG fans of you and Kerri since Athens. We’re looking forward to seeing you take your mad skills onto the dance floor and helping you notch another win.

Hi Misty, CONGRATULATIONS on winning the gold in Beijing. You guys were great! I look forward to watching you win the championship in Dancing with the Stars. I know you will because you are a great competitor. Good luck!

Misty, I was in Chicago to see you on Oprah. I got to high five you (actually it was more like an Oprah-high five handshake thing). Anyway, I am SO excited to see you dance on DWTS. I’ve seen your natural rhythm girl, and you can move. So, good luck. Go for the gold, and you know your fans will back you up.

Like the way you play volleyball, and am sure I’ll like the way you dance the Foxtrot and Mambo. Good luck in the San Francisco tournament. I’m looking forward to a win in the sand and the stars.

Hi Misty, Just wanted to say congratulations on winning the gold in Beijing. I was a thrill to watch you guys win again this Olympics. Also, I can’t wait to see you on Dancing with the Stars. I’ve been watching for a couple of seasons now and I think this one is going to be really great. I was hoping you would be paired with either Maks or Mark. I think you guys will be a great team. Best of luck! I’m sure you’ll do well!

Cant say I have watched “Dancing With The Stars” before. But will try to catch it this time around. Hope you get a chance to do some shout-outs for Beach Volleyball as a sport to make it more prevalent.

Hey Misty….Have been a fan of the show for 2 yrs now and cant wait to see you and Maks dance your hearts out on the stage. Not too sure why you are surprised you are on the show….The show would be lucky to have someone like you :)
No worries about doing a great job because you always seem to do an amazing job in whatever you set your mind to.
The heels can be a killer, but you’ll pull it off.
Cant wait for sept 22nd. Also looking forward to seeing you and Kerri in a couple wks on the beach in what will be a GREAT tourny I am sure.

Keep up the amazing work and make sure you get some rest.
Cheers for now :)
