Mykel Jenkins: Unlocking Elite Performance On And Off The Court

This episode of SANDCAST: Beach Volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter, features Mykel Jenkins, the longtime personal trainer of Bourne – and John Hyden, Sara Hughes, Emily Stockman, and several others – and is a wide-ranging one. Bourne has worked with Jenkins for more than a decade, and together, they discuss:

• The significance, and critical importance, of personal training, especially in elite sports like beach volleyball.
• Why you have to build a unique training approach tailored to individual athletes
• The role of trust in the trainer-athlete relationship, and the necessity of being present in every moment.
• Tri gets into his own challenges, the mindset of elite athletes, and they talk about the journey of Sara Hughes, who made her Olympic debut in Paris this year

And, per usual, much, much more.
