Karch Kiraly, and the hunger to pursue mastery

Karch Kiraly, and the hunger to pursue mastery

This episode of SANDCAST: Beach volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter, features the GOAT, Karch Kiraly. Currently the coach of the U.S. Women's National Team, Kiraly has won three gold medals and could very well win another as a coach in the upcoming Tokyo Olympics.

This podcast is absolute GOLD -- pun fully intended. We cover the full range of topics, including:

- Kiraly's upbringing, and how competing against grown men at 11 years old galvanized his pursuit of finding answers to win, and quickly

- His difficult decision to give up beach to compete on the United States National Team, which resulted in his first gold medal at the 1984 Olympics

- His wildly successful partnership with Kent Steffes

- How he has been able to adapt at every evolution the game, indoor or beach, and remain at the top

- SO MUCH MORE

If there's one episode y'all should listen to, it should be no surprise that this is the one. Share it out, tell your friends and fellow volleyball fans.
