Taylor Crabb, and the arrival of beach volleyball's next generation

Taylor Crabb, and the arrival of beach volleyball's next generation

This episode of SANDCAST: Beach Volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter is a special one, for it is the first episode featuring a player competing in the 2021 Tokyo Olympic Games. Taylor Crabb has long been the presumed face of this next generation of American beach volleyball players. Now that generation is here, as he and Jake Gibb qualified for the Tokyo Olympics, alongside lovable veterans Phil Dalhausser and Nick Lucena.

On this episode, we discuss:

- What it is like for Taylor Crabb being an Olympian, something he's long dreamed of

- The moment in Ostrava when he and Jake Gibb and coach Rich Lambourne knew they had qualified for Tokyo

- The strangeness of this 2021 season, with so much uncertainty post-COVID

- Why players should prioritize competing on the AVP just as much as they do the FIVB

- The blessings of being raised in Hawai'i, growing up at the Outrigger Canoe Club And much, much more.

Such a fun episode.

ENJOY!
