Pressure is a privilege for Adrian Carambula

Pressure is a privilege for Adrian Carambula

This episode of SANDCAST: Beach volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter features Adrian Carambula. Nicknamed Mr. Skyball for his towering, spinning serve, Carambula is one of the best players in Italy and in the race to qualify for the Tokyo Olympics with Enrico Rossi.

On this episode, we cover:

- Carambula's move from Uruguay to the United States, and how he discovered volleyball on the shores of South Beach, Miami.

- His rise up the ranks in beach volleyball in the U.S., and how he began utilizing a creative, never-before-seen playing style

- His tryout with the Italian Federation

- The long list of adversity he had to overcome to convince the Italian Federation to give him a shot at playing with Alex Ranghieri

- His breakthrough tournament in Porec, Croatia, where he and Ranghieri would take bronze, putting to rest all of the doubts the Federation had about him

- Finding his new partner, Enrico Rossi, and where his career is headed from here.
