In this episode of SANDCAST: Beach Volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter, we have one of the most unique teams on the AVP and Beach Pro Tours in Tim Brewster and Kyle Friend. What makes them unique? They are, as far as we know, the only male partners who are also dating, making for a fascinating dynamic on and off the court. We get into that, as well as: Their recent NORCECA win, and the pros and cons of competing in NORCECAs vs. Beach Pro Tour Futures events The uncertainty of the AVP rankings, and the high-stakes nature of having only three events on the 2024 schedule They also touch on the dynamics of their on-court and off-court relationship and the growth they have experienced together. Tim Brewster's transition and growth as a player, from fringe qualifier talent to taking top-fives regularly on the AVP. And a whole lot more. Such a fun chat with Tim and Kyle!

This episode of SANDCAST: Beach Volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter, features Sophie Bukovec, one of the top players in Canada and a silver medalist at the 2022 Beach Volleyball World Championships. The last three years haven’t been, as Bukovec says, “exactly seamless,” with three partners in as many seasons, but like when most things don’t go to plan, Bukovec came away with a bounty of lessons, and a new perspective on life, both as a player and not. We chat all about that, as well as: What happened with her and Sarah Pavan after just three (decent) tournaments How she managed to get Heather Bansley out of retirement Heather Bansley’s impact on Volleyball Canada Why Sophie Bukovec is modeling the player she wants to be off the player she’s currently playing with it, and the peace that comes with And a whole lot more.

This episode of SANDCAST: Beach Volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter, features our annual Spring-is-here episode with our neighbors up North: Sam Schachter and Dan Dearing. Per usual, they dropped by Hermosa Beach for a month for a pre-season training camp, gearing up for a final push at the 2024 Paris Olympics. On this episode, we chatted about: What lessons Sam Schachter and Dan Dearing learned from a very full 2023 season The new standards of their coach, Srdjan Veckov, and why he was actually mad when Sam Schachter and Dan Dearing beat Miles Partain and Andy Benesh last December The new culture of their team, and why Dan Dearing is now gladly puking after conditioning (well…kind of gladly) The thin margins between victory and defeat at the Challenge and Elite16 level And much more. NOTE: Dan’s mic got unplugged and his audio is absolutely terrible. Our streak of mostly decent audio is back to zero. Apologies for the gaffe and we appreciate your patience, as always.

This episode of The Road to Paris, Travis Mewhirter’s breakdown of the Olympic Beach Volleyball race to the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, follows the season-opening Doha Elite16, where Stefan Boermans and Yorick de Groot won a shocking gold (not shocking that they won, but shocking in how they did it), Tina Graudina and Anastasija Samoilova took a critical fourth, Laura Ludwig and Louisa Lippmann made the most of their wild card, and Trevor Crabb and Theo Brunner continued tacking onto their lead. On this episode, Travis chats about: Why Stefan Boermans and Yorick de Groot are now nearly a lock to qualify for Paris, despite having only eight finishes Why those 100 percent probabilities for Tina Graudina and Anastasija Samoilova were on the money Chase Budinger and Miles Evans’ awesome, but also discouraging, finish in Doha (and a shout-out by Brandon Walker and Mark Titus at Barstool Sports) Anouk Verge-Depre and Joana Mader jumping into the No. 2 Swiss spot for the first time And a little bit of everything in between. What a fun start to the year, and only more to come.

This episode of SANDCAST: Beach Volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter features an annual fan-favorite: Kristen Nuss and Taryn Kloth. In for a month-long training camp in California, Nuss and Kloth are perhaps the most unique team in the sport, and maybe the most unique pair USA Volleyball has ever had. Living in Louisiana? Five-foot-6 defender? A blocker from South Dakota? And they’re…No. 2 in the world? How does that happen? We chat all about it, as well as: The moment they realized they had qualified for the Olympics How they feel like veterans already, and it’s just year three What led to their breakthrough season in 2023, one in which they won seven medals in 12 events. What makes them so special as a team, the secret sauce that is TKN And so much more. AWESOME CONVERSATION with two of the best people (and players) in the sport.

This episode of SANDCAST: Beach Volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter, features Michael Gervais, one of the most well-known sports psychologists in the world and the man who worked with Misty May-Treanor, Kerri Walsh Jennings, and April Ross and is currently working with Olympians Melissa Humana-Paredes and Brandie Wilkerson. Gervais is the host of the Finding Mastery podcast, which boasts more than 25 million downloads, and is the new author of the book, The First Rule of Mastery: Stop Worrying About What Other People Think of You. We were invited to the Mastery Lab to chat with Gervais, and what an incredible chat it was, as we covered, among other topics: What it was like to coach Kerri Walsh Jennings, Misty May-Treanor, and April Ross Why Michael Gervais is attracted to those who get out to “the messy edge” of high performance Why our ancient brains, once wired to be attuned to what other people were thinking for our survival, are no longer a fit for modern times, and how to navigate that What Michael Gervais has learned in 25-plus years working with the highest performers in the world And so, so, so much more. Highly recommend you listen to the episode and pick up his book!

This episode of SANDCAST: Beach Volleyball With Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter, features one of our favorite coaches in the world: John Mayer. As a player, Mayer was one of the best defenders of his generation, the 2015 AVP Defensive Player of the Year and the 2015 AVP MVP. Since 2018, he has been a full-time coach, leading the LMU Beach Volleyball team to new heights: four straight WCC Championships, four straight WCC Coach of the Year honors, and three consecutive berths in to the NCAA Championship. Not bad for, as Mayer says, “little LMU.” We talk all about that rise, as well as: Mayer’s unique coaching style that is less top down and more experimental How he has changed as a coach since he took over LMU in 2015 LMU’s meteoric rise from a winless program to one of the best in the country How diving into motor learning and ecological coaching has shifted his perspective on teaching, coaching, and leadership And so, so much more.

Our thoughts on the new AVP League, and what we think of its future Is the direction we’re going with hand-setting good or bad? Should doubles be taken out? How Travis became the new coach for Tri and Chaim Schalk, and how that’s been going And a whole lot more. Fun one to start what should be a wild year of beach volleyball!

At USC Beach Volleyball, Dain Blanton, Delaynie Maple and Megan Kraft are looking to do something unprecedented in the world of NCAA Beach Volleyball: Win four consecutive NCAA Championships. They’ve won three straight, with 2023 being the biggest surprise of the bunch, if there is such a thing at USC. Now, they’re back for a fourth, doing everything they can to not think about winning a fourth straight. We chatted all about that, as well as: How the USC team culture continues to produce winner after winner after winner What it was like for Blanton to replace the legendary Anna Collier Kraft’s professional season playing with Emily Stockman and finishing with Terese Cannon How the previous generation of greats – Tina Graudina, Julia Scoles, Hailey Harward, Sammy Slater – paved the way for this current generation. And a whole lot more.

The UCLA Beach Volleyball team has been one of the most dominant in the young history of NCAA Beach Volleyball. Three of its four decorated seniors – Jaden Whitmarsh, Devon Newberry, Lexy Denaburg – came on SANDCAST to chat about the last dance for this group, and how much winning the elusive NCAA Championship would mean, especially in a transition year with a new head coach in Jenny Johnson Jordan. We covered a wide variety of topics, including: What the program is like under Johnson Jordan in her first year as head coach, replacing Stein Metzger Why the word “special” continued to come up in conversation when talking about the 2024 team Why Whitmarsh, a sixth-year, decided to return for one final ride The lessons you can learn from coming one win shy of an NCAA Championship And so much more!

Betsi Flint is, at 31 years old, somehow a veteran on the AVP and Volleyball World Beach Pro Tour, a seven-time AVP champion who is currently ranked in the top 10 in the world alongside Julia Scoles. But she is far more than another talented defender. Flint occupies a rare space in the world of beach volleyball: A mom who continues to make her full-time living playing the sport. We chatted quite a bit about mom life, as well as: The difficulty of timing a pregnancy for a female athlete Flint and Scoles’ Cinderella run through the 2023 AVP Manhattan Beach Open Coming back and playing five matches in the first day of her first tournament post-partum – five months after giving birth The dark arts of the Betsi Flint float serve And, as always, a whole lot more.

Cody Caldwell is one of the faster-rising talents in beach volleyball, both on the AVP and Volleyball World Beach Pro Tour. After playing indoors in Greece and France, Caldwell decided to “try my hand on the beach,” and the results have been promising, with three career Tour Series wins and three third place finishes in 2023 alone. All of this has been done with one goal in mind: Fun – and he’s maximizing it and thriving because of it. We chat about: Why Caldwell decided to switch to beach in spite of his talents indoors that could command big contracts overseas What it’s like playing with Seain Cook, whom Caldwell thinks is the most entertaining player on the AVP Tour How it felt to beat both Alison and Phil Dalhausser at the Manhattan Beach Open Why he has his eyes set on Los Angeles 2028, and how he envisions getting there And, as always, much, much more.

Corinne Quiggle had one of the most volatile seasons of her burgeoning beach volleyball career. From losing in three straight qualifiers and barbequing in the first AVP of the year, she took that adversity and flipped it into the first AVP win of her career, in Hermosa Beach with Sarah Schermerhorn. What once looked like an awful start actually set her up to enjoy the most unforgettable year to date, capped by a bronze medal at the Pan American Games. We chat all about that, as well as: How Quiggle and Schermerhorn were able to overcome a brutal start and awful week of practice prior to Hermosa and use it to fuel their first win The value of having the same partner for what will soon be three years The mindset tools she’s discovered that have helped her the most Why the Pan American Games are one of the coolest experiences in volleyball And, per usual, much more.

Matt Prosser is one of the most well-rounded talents in the sport of volleyball. An All-American at Long Beach State, Prosser took his size to the beach, where he won an AVP with Matt Olson and enjoyed immense success with John Mayer. In 2018, despite having been only a year out from chemotherapy, Prosser qualified for the Manhattan Beach Open with Eric Beranek, retiring afterwards on his own terms. Now, he’s a voice you’ll recognize on AVP and Volleyball TV broadcasts as a commentator for the Italian SuperLega, Beach Pro Tour, and numerous AVP tournaments. We chatted about all of that, as well as: How Prosser got hooked on volleyball at the age of 13 What it was like in 2010 when the AVP folded – one week after Prosser made a final in Hermosa Beach How he was able to overcome cancer and make another main draw How a chance encounter with Dustin Watten led to Prosser’s favorite career yet: Commentating on beach volleyball And, per usual, a whole lot more.

This episode of SANDCAST: Beach Volleyball With Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter is a unique one: The top moment from every single podcast we did this year from A – Andy Benesh, April Ross – to Z – Zana Muno, and everywhere in between – Miles Partain, Taylor Crabb, Taylor Sander, you get it. This was, by a long, long, long shot, the most successful year the podcast has had, exploding through records in every single metric, from YouTube to audio to engagement. We wanted to THANK YOU for sticking with us through crappy audio, inconsistent camera setups, studio changes, and episodes good and bad. Can’t do it without y’all, so here’s to a wonderful 2024 season. Merry Christmas, happy New Year, and enjoy the best hits of 2023! SHOOTS! *** We FINALLY have an alcohol sponsor, y'all!

This is the FINAL Road to Paris of a long and wonderful 2023 beach volleyball season. This is a comprehensive recap of which teams are all but assured spots in the 2024 Paris Olympic Games – aka SHARPIED! – which teams are favored and in contention of the remaining spots, and which teams are the dark horses vying for the few spots remaining. As always, if you have any questions about the complicated Olympic qualifying process, I’d LOVE to answer them. Always happy to help and chat Olympic beach volleyball. Thank you to everyone for coming along for the ride this season, it’s been a blast starting this series. Unless there is a strong preference for another Road to Paris before the onset of the 2024 Beach Pro Tour season, this will be the last episode until the Doha Elite16 in March. Until then, have a MERRY CHRISTMAS and Happy New Year! SHOOTS! *** We FINALLY have an alcohol sponsor, y'all! Bartender In A Box is here.

This episode of SANDCAST: Beach Volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter is our always-popular, semi-monthly mailbag episode. And boy oh boy did we have questions for this one, largely on the same topic: What’s up with the new AVP and its proposed league model? We delve into that for a large portion of the episode, as well as: What are our Paris 2024 predictions? What does off-season look like for professional beach volleyball players? What are our best, worst, and funniest moments of 2023? Are Russians allowed back on tour? That, and a whole lot more. Thank you as always for submitting questions. If you want to submit or have us chat about a topic, DM Tri or Travis on Instagram and we’ll put it into the pool of questions! SHOOTS! *** We FINALLY have an alcohol sponsor, y'all!

This episode of SANDCAST: Beach Volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter, is with volleyball strength and conditioning coach, and the man whom Mewhirter calls the “knee whisperer,” Nathan Michaels. Mewhirter began working with Michaels in 2021…and hasn’t taken a single Ibuprofen since, playing pain free, as strong and mobile as he’s ever been, all the while playing the best beach volleyball of his career. Michaels is a huge reason for that. This episode might be the most useful and practical episode we’ve done in six-plus years of podcasting, chatting about: The 5 BEST bang for your buck exercises for beach volleyball How to jump higher on the sand How to open up your arm swing and hit harder The best foods to eat prior and during gameday to stop cramping and to sustain peak performance throughout a tournament And so much more. This one is PACKED with awesome, useful information. Less storytelling and more practicals here. SHOOTS! *** We FINALLY have an alcohol sponsor, y'all! Bartender In A Box is here.

This episode of SANDCAST: Beach Volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter, features Mason Briggs, an All-American at Long Beach State and one of the best liberos in the world. But he’s far more than that. Briggs is a trailblazer, a 22-year-old who has amassed one of the biggest followings in all of NCAA Volleyball, a following he is using to expand the reach of the game in new and innovative ways, such as trading cards. We talked all about that, as well as: Where Briggs’ entrepreneurial spirit comes from (come for the duct tape wallets, stick around for the Steve Madden story) Why men’s volleyball is the world’s greatest kept secret His “pinnacle moment” being the only college player on the USA National Team’s World Championship roster What it’s like backing up, and learning from, Erik Shoji And so much more.
