Namita Nayyar:
You were born in New Orleans, Louisiana, US. You were a multi-sport athlete throughout high school. With Mount Carmel Academy you led it to three indoor volleyball state championships as well as two basketball championships. You participated in LSU Beach Volleyball during your junior years at the collegiate level, here you amassed the most career wins in LSU history, becoming the winningest player in collegiate beach volleyball history. This later propelled your career to the height where you have been at the top of the world as a beach volleyball player, ranked second in December 2023. Tell us more about your professional journey of exceptional hard work, tenacity, and endurance.
Kristen Nuss:
Ever since I started playing sports which was at a very young age, I always wanted to be the best. I hated losing! My mom always said, “There is always somebody better than you.” This motivated me to push myself to get better and better. I tried to listen to every coach from my youth days up until the present day. My coaches are who have molded me into the player I am today. My refusal to lose is what I still fall back on today.
Namita Nayyar:
You and your playing partner Taryn Kloth turned professional upon graduating in 2021, you won the Gold in the 2022 BPT Coolangatta Futures and thereafter, both beat the Tokyo Silver Medalists, Australians Mariafe Artacho del Solar and Taliqua Clancy, en route to the Gold at the 2022 BPT Kusadasi Challenge. That success has been replicated many times, with your pair becoming a name to reckon with in Beach Volleyball. Tell us more about your Rhythm, Coordination, and Understanding of each other moves on the Beach Volleyball court in advance, which has led both of you to succeed in the Beach Volleyball World Arena.
Kristen Nuss:
Taryn and my partnership always clicked from the beginning. There was just something different about the play on the court and then the icing on the cake was our friendship. We were just two friends having a ton of fun and success on the court. We balance each other out very well and not just from our statures.
Namita Nayyar:
You won a bronze medal in the 2023 Beach Volleyball World Championships that was held in Tlaxcala, Apizaco, and Huamantla, Mexico from 6 to 15 October 2023. Tell us more about this spectacular achievement of yours.
Kristen Nuss:
Being able to medal at our first World Championships was huge. From our decision in 2021 to pursue this career, we have done nothing other than put our heads down and work. The bronze medal at the world championships was that work coming to fruition. You always dream about being on the podium at large events like that, so it was a dream come true however, we are both always fighting for perfection so we are not content with that bronze… we want gold.
