Gabrielle Reece

California.
She decided to attend college across the nation at Florida State. She quickly
became a college sensation, setting school records for solo and total blocks. By
the time she graduated, she was inducted into Florida State's Athletica Hall of
Fame.
Reece competed five seasons on the four-person tour where she was twice named
the tour's Top Offensive Player. She led the league in kills four times and

Off the court, Reece is married to extreme surfer Laird Hamilton. She also has
co-written a book about her life as a pro beach volleyball player, 'Big Girl in
the Middle'. And of course, on those lazy Sunday afternoons, she also writes a
column for Women's Sports and Fitness Magazine.
