Traci Callahan has 'quit quitting'

This episode of SANDCAST: Beach volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter, features Traci Callahan, who has been competing on the AVP Tour since 2010, with a brief break in the 2015-2017 seasons.

We talk a lot about that break, as well as:

- A journey down the Camino de Santiago, and how it inspired her to get back into beach volleyball

- Her time as a coach, yoga instructor, bee farmer, organic farmer, and others in between her stints as a professional beach volleyball player

- Why she got back into beach volleyball

- The struggles of returning to the sport, which included switching positions, not being able to find a partner, and, you know, Covid

- Her newfound dedication to the sport, and what it has taken to get back to the top level
