Dana Rettke: The Middle Pioneering a New Age of Women's Volleyball

Dana Rettke: The Middle Pioneering a New Age of Women's Volleyball

This episode of SANDCAST: Beach Volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter, goes back to the Olympic indoor scene, with middle blocker Dana Rettke. Rettke, who stands 6-foot-8, is arguably the greatest NCAA player in history, the only five-time first-team All-American for Wisconsin who won an NCAA Championship and went on to play in the Italian League and, currently, on the USA National Team competing at the Paris Olympic Games. Dana was FANTASTIC in this podcast – endearing, genuine, well-spoken, humble, confident, all of the kind words apply. You will absolutely love this episode, in which we chat about:

  • How far NCAA Volleyball has come since she entered Wisconsin in 2017
  • Why dance as a kid was so formative to her athletic abilities
  • The blue-collar work ethic that has had her enjoying success every step of the way
  • Why she loves the Italian League so much, and why she also couldn’t turn down an offer to go compete in Turkey next season
  • Midwest volleyball culture

And so, so much more. Love this one, you will too.
