Justine's motto

Stay ready so you don't have to get ready

I will never forget the text he sent me when I found out I was going to the Tokyo Olympics. Truly believing I had all the capabilities to perform was my super power and I felt the most confident I had ever felt in a tournament.

The best advice I've received: Believe in myself - from coach John Cook.

Meet Justine

A libero from Cypress, California, Justine grew up playing for LOVB club Mizuno Long Beach. She's an alumna of University of Nebraska, where she helped the Cornhuskers win a national title in 2015. She helped lead the U.S. Women’s National Team to its first Olympic gold at Tokyo 2020 – earning Best Libero honors while doing so – and followed up with silver at Paris 2024. Also with Team USA, she’s won two Volleyball Nations League titles and was named Best Libero at the 2021 tournament. While growing up, Justine represented the U.S. at the 2011 FIVB Beach Youth World Championships, where she competed with fellow 2024 Olympian, Sara Hughes.
