Long Beach, USA, July 25, 2014 - Life was moving slowly last December for American beach volleyball standout Angie Akers when she was on crutches and was looking for something to do.
The top first-year player on the 2009 FIVB World Tour and a winner of four medals in her four-season international career, Akers received a tip from three-time Olympian and Athens 2004 bronze medalist Holly McPeak that there might be a position with the organization promoting this week’s US$1-million ASICS World Series of Beach Volleyball event.
“I had surgery last December and was non-weight bearing and on crutches for three months,” said the 38-year old Akers, who started playing regularly on the American domestic tour in 2002. “During that time, I got really tired of being stuck on the couch. Holly McPeak is a good friend and I talked to her about wanting to do something since I wouldn't be able to play for a long time.”
