From a promising volleyball star to the famous sexy social network, Kayla Simmons – who was dubbed the “most sexy female player in the world” – had an unexpected turning point in her career.
29 years old, Simmons abandoned volleyball because of the “too sexy” physique became a barrier. She then tried to pursue modeling and Influencer. Currently, she owns more than 1 million followers on Instagram and 6.3 million fans on Tiktok, becoming an icon that inspires confidence with the body.
Unfinished volleyball career
Born in Gainesville, Florida, Simmons grew up in a sports family: her father used to be a university baseball player, and the old man was the Pitcher of the MLB Pittsburgh Pirates Club. Carrying in athletes, Simmons started playing volleyball very early, studying at PK Yonge Developmental Research School.
She was quickly elected as captain during 3 years of high school, taking the team to many regional championships. In 2013, Simmons was selected to the USA Volleyball Girls' A1, where she played the captain for 7 years. Impressive achievements helped her win the Wendy High School Heisman Award and the Aau All-American title.
Simmons then wore Marshall University (West Virginia). She was twice consecutive to the C-USA Commissioner's Honor Roll and received the C-USA Academic Medal.
From the football field to the catwalk
However, when entering adulthood, fiery physique with a “oversized” bust becomes an obstacle that makes it difficult for Simmons to maintain the top sports career.
Finally, Simmons shifted to modeling and social networks. She has appeared in Maxim magazines (USA & Australia), taking photos for Sports Illustrated (2019) and New York Post. In addition to Instagram and Tiktok, Simmons also operates on the onlyfans platform.
Simmons always makes fans excited when appearing on Instagram, often showing off her body confidence in swimsuits. She joined the increasingly extended list of athletes to become social networks, including former golf player Paige Spiranac, Athlete Olivia Dunn (Louisiana Tigers) and tennis star Rachel Stuhlmann.
Although Kayla Simmons is no longer a famous athlete nationwide, she often posted video volleyball on Instagram.
In 2019, Simmons once took the swimsuit of Sports Illustrated and New York Post. Although he was not planning to pursue this path at first, then she was interested and decided to commit. “I love Sports Illustrated because they support women in all physique. Everyone is valuable, everyone is seductive and beautiful in their own way. I like that, and I find this is a great opportunity for me,” Simmons shared.
Symbol of confidence
When working with Sports Illustrated, Simmons revealed that she was criticized by the University Management Board for posting photos that were not suitable on Instagram, which made her feel very embarrassed.
“I was once asked to delete a photo on Instagram. I felt conflict because I could not accept my body and play my favorite sport. But since then I have learned that, I cannot let others affect the way you see myself,” she said.
For young fans, Simmons advised: “Remember, you can be yourself and be confident in yourself. Stand up to protect what you trust. Don't let anyone embarrass you about your body. Don't let anyone decide how you see yourself. Be proud of yourself.”
The ideal man
In love affair, Simmons revealed that she likes a tall, sporty and funny man, but does not need to be too handsome. In particular, she does not like men … skin care too much.
“If he uses serum every morning and skin care like women, it is certainly not my taste,” Simmons frankly.
