Savvy Simo: Putting mental health at the forefront of professional sports

Savvy Simo: Putting mental health at the forefront of professional sports

This episode of SANDCAST: Beach Volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter features Savvy Simo. Long one of our co-hosts, Savvy is also a rising talent on the AVP Tour and the Volleyball World Beach Pro Tour. And she's thriving in spite of going through regular panic attacks that, in her words, make her "feel like I'm going to die." Including on the court at the recent Stare Jablonki Challenge, where she didn't sleep and had a panic attack in the middle of a match. Incredible vulnerability from Sav on this one, on which we chat about:

  • Why she feels like she’s playing her best beach volleyball this season
  • Her history of panic attacks, and how she felt as if she “was going to die” at the Stare Jablonki Challenge
  • Why she now views her perpetual anxiety as a superpower
  • How she has managed her anxiety and panic attacks up to this point

And so, so much more. Really, really good episode with Sav.

SHOOTS!
