Zach Schubert: The Brutal Yet Beautiful Road to The Olympics

Zach Schubert: The Brutal Yet Beautiful Road to The Olympics

On this episode of SANDCAST: Beach Volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter, Travis sits down with Australian Olympian Zach Schubert, who after 9 years of playing professional beach volleyball is retiring, doing so at the 2025 Beach Volleyball World Championships. We cover quite a bit of ground in this chat, including:

  • Why double-elim is the best format in the world

  • Zach Schubert's trying journey to the Olympics, and why Thomas Hodges is the man responsible for his success

  • Why he chose to retire from the game

  • Why the pursuit of the Olympics shouldn't be the end all, be all for athletes

And so, so much more
