On April 16, Beijing time, the American women's volleyball player Hu Kerr recently released the happy news of the birth of his third child through social media, and revealed the difficulties along the way, causing strong concern among netizens.
It turned out that Hooker had a pair of twin daughters, but one of the babies died unexpectedly in the process of growing up, which made her have a very difficult time. Just last year, she became pregnant again, but was criticized for her unsatisfactory performances on the pitch and her unprofessional professionalism. In response, Hooker said: "I thank God for giving me my third child to engage in the sport I love. When I look at my precious daughter, I often wonder what her twin sisters will look like. 2021 has been a tough year for me, with people mocking me for criticizing me and trying to destroy me and my reputation. But I don't regret it and I'm thankful for the people who supported me during my pregnancy. I'm looking forward to next season's game! ”
The 34-year-old Hooker, 1.93 meters tall, has an extremely good bounce and was the main receiver of the American women's volleyball team. Hooker helped the U.S. women's volleyball team win two consecutive World Women's Volleyball Grand Prix championships in 2010 and 2011, and was elected MVP of the tournament in 2011. At the 2012 London Olympics, Hooker won a valuable silver medal with the American women's volleyball team. After Kirari took office, Hooker was abandoned and has since been excluded from the LINEUP of the U.S. women's volleyball team. In the 2019-2020 Season of the Chinese Women's Volleyball Super League, Hu Kerr joined the Tianjin Women's Volleyball Team and formed a luxurious "trident" with Zhu Ting and Li Yingying. Despite showing good strength on the offensive end, he was also criticized for his not-so-good temper and controversial remarks. Before fading out of the game because of pregnancy, Hooker had been reduced to joining the Puerto Rican League, which was undoubtedly a huge gap for the first-class players who had been in volleyball.
