In an interview made by USA Volleyball, she explained:

“I’ve always said that as long as both my mind and body are in it, I’ll continue playing. Once one is lacking, I’ll know it’s time to stop.”

She has already competed in two Olympic Games, winning a silver in 2012 and bronze in 2016. Her next goal is … 

My only goal is to keep improving in all aspects of the game. I’m trying to take things one day at a time, and at most, one season at a time. I’m not really looking that far ahead, but if I decide to play through 2020 and I’m fortunate enough to make the Olympic roster, that would be a great blessing. And I wouldn’t mind adding a gold medal to the mix!” said 30-year-old  Akinradewo.
