A key seed for the eventual creation of THISENT.com was planted in 2017. That year Grand Kai and AOG2012 ventured to Chicago, IL to cover the 2nd Annual espnW: Women + Sports, Chicago event. Invited by Cari Champion, the duo conducted interviews with top athletes and celebrities while there, one of those was April Ross!
Ross makes beach volleyball look like an art. Born and raised in California, she began her award-winning career indoors. In 2003 Ross led USC to back-to-back NCAA Championships while being named Pac-10 Player of the Year. In 2006 she transitioned excellently to the outdoor game, winning AVP Rookie of the Year. This was followed by FIVB Rookie of the Year honors in ’07.
As a pro Ross is an FIVB World Champion, a silver medalist with partner Jennifer Kess at the 2012 London Olympic Games, a bronze medalist with partner Kerry Walsh Jennings at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro, and a gold medalist with partner Alix Klineman at the 2021 Tokyo.
