SANDCAST: Evan Silberstein, the New Yorker who found his "medicine" in Hawai'i

This episode of SANDCAST: Beach volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter, features University of Hawai'i assistant coach Evan Silberstein.

Silberstein is a New York native turned full-blown Hawai'ian. He has been the assistant at Hawai'i for six years now, helping the Bows become one of the perennial powers in NCAA volleyball.

In this episode, we cover:

- How Silberstein came to Hawai'i from, of all places, New York City.

- How he left his own law practice on the Island to take a volunteer position at the University of San Francisco

- Taking his dream job at the University of Hawai'i, and how different that dream is from his initial dream of practicing law for a living.

- The art and importance of developing rapport with his athletes. Indeed, it was Silberstein who drove a van nicknamed the "Vegan Vaagen" at Hawai'i, ensuring all of the more dietary conscious athletes got their needs fulfilled.

- Why AVP Hawai'i is generally devoid of fans despite such a rich beach volleyball culture.

- What the NCAA beach volleyball scene will look like following Covid-19.
