James Shaw, and the pursuit for the goals on the other side of fear

This episode of SANDCAST: Beach volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter, features James Shaw. Shaw was a setter at Stanford, where he made an NCAA Championship appearance, before moving onto clubs in Italy and the USA National Team. He is now transitioning to the beach, where he is seeing immediate success.

In this episode, we discuss:

- Why he decided to leave indoor and play beach volleyball

- The tricky transition of becoming a beach player

- His childhood, growing up under Don Shaw, the legendary Stanford coach

- How the volleyball community can help save the Stanford program, which was cut by the school

- Shaw's growing list of audacious goals on the beach, including an Olympic run for Paris 2024
