Savvy Simo, and a remarkable, legacy-leaving career at UCLA

Savvy Simo, and a remarkable, legacy-leaving career at UCLA

This episode of SANDCAST: Beach volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter, features our favorite UCLA Bruin, Savvy Simo. On this episode, Bourne and Mewhirter catch up with Simo, discussing:

- The NCAA Beach Volleyball National Championship, and UCLA falling just short of USC in the finals

- Simo's leadership role as the lone true senior on the youngest team in the nation

- The value of letting go and soaking in the biggest moments of her career

- The respect she has for all of her competitors, on and off the court

- Taking the leap of faith and turning pro

And much, much more. Such a jam-packed episode of so many golden nuggets of wisdom. Simo is such an incredible role model for any young girls (or boys) in this sport.
