Camryn Irwin is living the dream
SANDCAST: Beach Volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter19 Helmi 2020

Camryn Irwin is living the dream

It’s May 16, 2018, the eve of Camryn Irwin’s debut as an Amazon Prime broadcaster calling AVP tournaments. She gets a call from the AVP. They inform her that she’ll be calling play by play.

“Ok!” Irwin says. “That’s new!”

“We don’t know what the format is going to look like, we’re just going to figure it out as we go.”

“Ok,” Irwin replies again.

“Don’t screw up. This is our brand.”

Now it’s Amazon on the horn, and they’re telling Irwin that “This is our Amazon brand. Don’t screw up.”

“Ok,” Irwin says one more time. “Here we go. I’m calling play by play tomorrow!”

A year and a half later, she’ll recall this experience on SANDCAST: Beach volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter. And she’ll say “talk about fear,” because she’s human, and any human being would be more than a bit intimidated when put into those circumstances. But she did it all the same. And she’s still doing it, establishing herself as a popular and lovable personality on the AVP and Amazon, because this is Camryn Irwin, and she’s done all that before.

Fear? No, fear isn’t the AVP and Amazon asking you to do something you know you’re talented at, that you know you’ll figure out, because you’re the queen of figuring things out on the fly.

Fear is when load up on a block, jump, and, just as you’re about to peak, you feel your back “just release,” Irwin said. “There is nothing supporting me and there was nothing I could do. I landed and my whole spine went thwack. I went back to go serve the next point and I remember tossing it, I went to jump, and I couldn’t breathe.”

This was in Sweden, just two years into her professional indoor career after a successful indoor stint at Washington State. It would take a month for Irwin to find out that she had a rupture in her back, that she had absolutely no business playing volleyball after that jump but she did so anyways because volleyball was what Irwin knew and volleyball was where her teammates and friends were. So she finished her season on her broken back, and when she returned, she figured she’d move onto the next phase of her life’s plan: Irwin was going to become a professional beach volleyball player on the AVP Tour.

Until she began training, and she began to lose feeling in her legs.

She is positive enough to label the injury a “total God thing,” because without that injury, she wouldn’t be spending her summers in the booth with her good friends Kevin Barnett and Dain Blanton. She wouldn’t be spending exponentially more hours in beach volleyball than the players she’s calling. She wouldn’t have a job she hesitates labeling a job because it’s just so much dang fun that it feels wrong to call it anything but a dream.

“It’s literally a dream job, because it’s not just about volleyball, it’s not just about athletes,” Irwin said. “I get to work with two of my best friends and their amazing families on a regular basis. My job is to share your story, so you can impact someone else’s life. That’s the stuff that gets my engine going.”

Irwin was one of the rare collegiate athletes who saw past her career in her respective sport. Even as a successful setter at Washington State with professional prospects down the line, she kindled her passion for storytelling, sacrificing sleep to shoot, edit and produce videos only a handful of people would watch.

“I knew I had this gameplan: I want to tell stories, I want to shape lives,” Irwin said. “I was so driven. But even with that drive in my brain, I was like ‘How in the world do I do this? Where do I even start?’ I’m out from the sticks in Washington State. I grew up on a farm, there’s no network television. It’s not like there’s some guy saying ‘Get an agent, get a head shot.’ I just said ‘Grind it out. Connect with people. Talk to people, and fail 100 times a day and figure it out.’ Still to this day people will ask me how I got to where I am and I say a lot of hard work without knowing the outcome.”

When she returned from Sweden to finish her degree at Washington State, she was able to call football games, learning under the legendary – and enormous personality – Mike Leach, one of the finest minds in the sport. So when she’s calling games for ESPN or the Pac-12 Network, she’s doing so with the education from men like Leach, who is 139-90 in his career with two Pac-12 division titles to his name, and Graham Harrell, the current offensive coordinator at USC. The jobs she was working paid $15 a piece; the education she gained continues to pay dividends, mapping out a rapidly ascending career as a broadcaster.

“It was all about building relationships and writing stories on these guys and I was just hoping the Pac-12 would give me a chance and they did,” Irwin said. “There’s no training for this. You just have to be super ballsy, and you have to be ok sounding like an idiot and not knowing what you’re doing and just listen to yourself, critique yourself, be super hard on yourself, and trying to find out what your voice is.”

Her voice, as creatives know, will be an ongoing project for the remainder of her career. It’ll evolve, improve, change. But her passion for what she does and the people with whom she does it, be it the athletes she’s calling or her colleagues calling with her, is what makes Irwin so good at what she does. It’s what allows her to run off four hours of sleep during AVP weekends, nerding out on volleyball by studying her self-made binders. It’s why she can take calls from the AVP and Amazon the night before her long-awaited debut in beach volleyball and know that it’s going to work out fine.

“I was a volleyball player since I was 5 years old,” she said. “I grew up in the Pacific Northwest where beach volleyball wasn’t a thing. I love the indoor game and I love the beach game, but my biggest thing is to be able to help build and represent a brand and a sport that is so cherished to me, especially something that I got to participate on the indoor side in college and overseas for a few years, I feel like it got ripped from me. To be so involved in a sport that is still so dear to my heart and to have that shown, I can’t work hard enough for this sport because I love it that much. The 4 hours of sleep at night, the stupid binders I make, the relationships – it’s all so genuine to me because I love this game so much and I love all the people in it.

“To get the call from Amazon and the AVP was way more meaningful to me than anybody really realizes.”

Jon Alvarez, Volleyball Life, and ”volleyball people doing cool things for volleyball”

Jon Alvarez, Volleyball Life, and ”volleyball people doing cool things for volleyball”

Jon Alvarez is the founder and CEO of Volleyball Life, the leading tournament software in all of beach volleyball, running more than 3,000 events in 2023 alone – a 70 percent increase from 2022. But Volleyball Life is more than that – much more. It’s one of the top resources for college coaches to scout juniors, as it has an extensive database of nearly every junior player in the country, his or her results, rankings, points, and anything else you’d want to know. It has been fun to watch Volleyball Life take over, expand, and build a virtual monopoly in the business. The conversation extends to far more than that, however, as we chat about: Alvarez’s career as a player, which spanned more than 30 years, and why he always looked at it as a way to make connections, not main draws How Volleyball Life has been a vision of his since 1993, when he literally handwrote the logo he’d be using 30 years later How Casey Patterson saved beach volleyball in 2010 The explosion of grassroots volleyball around the USA – and the numbers to prove it And much, much more.

Trevor Crabb is always taking receipts. Now he’s literally cashing in

Trevor Crabb is always taking receipts. Now he’s literally cashing in

Trevor Crabb has won more AVP tournaments than any player in the last five years. And yet…people still bet against him. And people are still being proven wrong. Crabb made good on his $500 wager that he’d beat Andy Benesh and Miles Partain the next time he and Theo Brunner played them. That next time came in the finals of AVP Chicago, which makes Crabb and Brunner tied for first in wins on the AVP this season, second in points per event in the USA Olympic race, and proving people wrong, as always. On this episode of SANDCAST: Beach Volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter, we chat all about those bets, as well as: What it was like for Crabb when Bourne dumped him for Chaim Schalk The dynamic of Bourne and Crabb’s friendship after the breakup Why he thinks defense is “so much easier than blocking” What this year has been like with Theo Brunner, and why they’ve been so good And much more!

The 3X NCAA Champion Nourse Twins have ”nothing else but to be themselves”

The Nourse Twins – Audrey Nourse and Nicole Nourse – are three-time NCAA Champions as starters as USC, something no other women’s program has ever done at Southern Cal.

We chatted all about their success as USC, as well as: Why they decided to flip their commitment from Stanford to USC What the culture is like on a team that included an Olympian (Tina Graudina), AVP champions (Julia Scoles and Hailey Harward), consummate winners (Sammy Slater) and World Champions (Delaynie Maple, Megan Kraft) The mental side of the game, and why getting a sports psychologist at age 16 has been huge for their development and success What it was like for the NCAA Championship to come down to their court, and why it all felt so…normal And so much more.

Road to Paris No. 11: If you’re not jump-setting, are you even trying?

This episode of the Road to Paris follows the Hamburg Elite16, an event in which every single men’s medalist – Sweden’s David Ahman and Jonatan Hellvig, Italy’s Paolo Nicolai and Sam Cottafava, Norway’s Anders Mol and Christian Sorum – has added the jump-set to their offense, not to mention fifth-place finishers and master jump-setters Miles Partain and Andy Benesh. The women’s side is a touch different, as world No. 1 Ana Patricia Silva and Duda Lisboa need no trickery, nor do silver medalists Kristen Nuss and Taryn Kloth and German bronze medalists Cinja Tillman and Svenja Muller. Travis Mewhirter covers all of those medalists and jump-setters, as well as: Kristen Nuss and Taryn Kloth becoming the new No. 1 USA team in the Olympic rankings Ahman and Hellvig jumping up 10 spots in the Olympic rankings in the past two events The Brazilian women’s race being all but set in stone, despite it being early in the race George Wanderley and Andre Loyola gaining control of the Brazilian men’s race And much, much more, including a Waiakea explosion and a funny interruption from Siri or Alexa.

Beach Volleyball Mailbag: What’s up with the AVP’s streaming? Can anyone stop Benesh and Partain? Is Klineman coming back?

Beach Volleyball Mailbag: What’s up with the AVP’s streaming? Can anyone stop Benesh and Partain? Is Klineman coming back?

What’s up with the AVP’s streaming? Is Alix Klineman making a run at the Olympics? Are Kelly Cheng and Sara Hughes on a slump? (if so, I’d like to slump like them). Can ANYONE stop Miles Partain and Andy Benesh? These are but a small sampling of the questions we tackled on this week’s SANDCAST: Beach Volleyball With Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter, as well as Savvy Simo. AVP Atlanta seemed to be a tipping point for the fans, as more than 60 percent of our record-setting number of questions was on the AVP streaming. As Savvy says on the podcast, “we have no control,” but we did have fun fielding and answering your questions! Including: A lot of fans have complained about streaming matches this year. What do the athletes think? Do we know any details about the AVP Championships? Can anybody stop Andy Benesh and Miles Partain? Can Alix Klineman still make a run at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games? And a wholeeeee lot more! ENJOY! *** Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter have a NEW BOOK! Playbook of Champions: The habits, routines, and stories of Olympians, Champions, and world-class athletes. If you listen to the show – which, if you’re reading this, then you are – then this is the perfect book for you, as it is a distillation of the best golden nuggets from our first five years of the podcast.
