    Road to Paris: France Goes CLUTCH Mode in Continental Cup, and the Netherlands Gets "Bizarre"

    Road to Paris: France Goes CLUTCH Mode in Continental Cup, and the Netherlands Gets "Bizarre"

    On this episode of the Road to Paris, Travis Mewhirter breaks down the European Continental Cup -- a fancy way of saying Olympic trial -- where France's Arnaud Gauthier-Rat and Teo Rotar, and Julien Lyneel and Remi Bassereau went absolute clutch mode and clinched a second Olympic spot for the French men.
    Meanwhile, four young Dutch women, Brecht Piersma and Wies Bekhuis, and Kirsten Broring and Emi van Driel, won the bid for the women...or so you might think. But a weird rule in the Netherlands has muddied things up a bit, and Mewhirter explains what in the world is happening (as best he can).
    Thanks as always to Producers 1 and 2, for you, the viewers. Happy Father's Day all!

    April Ross, Alix Klineman, and the Last Dance of the A-Team

    April Ross, Alix Klineman, and the Last Dance of the A-Team

    This episode of SANDCAST: Beach Volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter, features April Ross and Alix Klineman, one of the most successful teams in the world of the past five years and, of course, the gold medalists of the Tokyo Olympic Games. After winning gold in Tokyo, both began seeking the next major chapter of their lives: motherhood. Now, with a pair of sons in tow, they are back on the beach for one final AVP season together. On this episode, we chat about:
    The insane work ethic required to pursue Olympic quad after Olympic quad after Olympic quad as Ross did for these past 20 years
    How vastly different their preparation for matches and tournaments is now that they’re both moms
    How becoming a mother has impacted their view of and role in the sport
    Why they’re still playing, and still as competitive as ever
    And so much more. Such a fun chat with April and Alix – the A Plus Team.
    SHOOTS!

    This episode of SANDCAST: Beach Volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter, features another two-time indoor Olympian in Kelsey Robinson Cook, as well as a celeb appearance by her husband and good friend of the show, Brian Cook, who would have likely been an Olympian in his own right had he stayed healthy.

    How this is the highest level she has ever seen the indoor game since she began playing pro in 2014
    Her experiences playing for clubs in China, Italy, Puerto Rico, Turkey, and, of course, the USA
    Winning the 2021 Olympic gold medal in Tokyo, the first ever for the United States women
    What it’s like being in the USA gym, with 30 women competing for 12 Olympic spots
    How she has developed into a leadership role with USA Volleyball
    And much, much more. Gold mine of a podcast with Kelsey and Brian!

    Road to Paris: What every team needs to do to qualify for the Olympics

    This episode is brought to you by Aura! Use our link to get a free trial and help the show in a big way!
    This episode of the Road to Paris, where Travis Mewhirter breaks down the race to the Paris Olympic Games, is a breakdown and analysis after the Stare Jablonki Challenge. There remains just one event left: The Ostrava Elite16, which begins next Wednesday. Even after all the action in Poland, no races were determined in Stare Jablonki. Mewhirter breaks down:
    Why it’s finals or bust for Trevor Crabb and Theo Brunner and Alex Brouwer and Robert Meeuwsen
    Why Stare Jablonki was the perfect storm at the worst time for Sarah Pavan and Molly McBain – but the best time for Lili Fernandez and Paula Soria
    What Marco Grimalt and Esteban Grimalt need to do in order to pass Austria’s Julian Horl and Alex Horst
    What Karla Borger and Sandra Ittlinger need to do to pass Laura Ludwig and Louisa Lippmann
    What Anouk Verge-Depre and Joana Mader need to do to pass Zoe Verge-Depre and Esmee Bobner
    Why Sophie Bukovec and Heather Bansley will represent Canada at the Continental Cup instead of Pavan and McBain
    What a race!

    Erik Shoji: Life as the Best Libero in the World

    Erik Shoji: Life as the Best Libero in the World

    This episode of SANDCAST: Beach Volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter, is a little shift from our typical beachy episodes. We’re going indoors, with one of the greatest liberos of all-time in Erik Shoji. In Paris, Erik will make his third Olympic roster, in search of his second Olympic medal (he won a bronze in 2016). We cover quite a bit in this insightful chat, including:
    His childhood, as the son of the legendary Dave Shoji and younger brother of Kawika, an all-American setter as well as an Olympian
    How Michael Gervais’ new book, the First Rule of Mastery, led to a huge breakthrough this season from a mental standpoint
    How he has never been burned out, despite playing the same position since his freshman year of college at Stanford
    The beauties and challenges of life overseas
    And so, so much more. Erik is incredibly well-spoken and thoughtful, and this is an episode y’all will surely enjoy!
    SHOOTS!
