Jason Lochhead: The globetrotting route to becoming a two-time Olympic coach

Jason Lochhead: The globetrotting route to becoming a two-time Olympic coach

This episode of SANDCAST: Beach Volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter, is an ABSOLUTE BLAST! We have Jason Lochhead, the coach of Phil Dalhausser and Nick Lucena, in the house. It is a packed episode, filled with tremendous stories and, as a bonus, a New Zealand accent.

We chat about:

- What it was like for Lochhead to grow up as a beach volleyball player in New Zealand, a country not exactly known for beach volleyball

- His career as a player, nearly qualifying in the 2008 and 2012 Olympic Games

- How he almost became a professional golfer before being recruited to coach the Vanuatu National Team

- Coaching Canadians Ben Saxton and Chaim Schalk to the 2016 Olympics

- The call from Nick Lucena that changed his life: Coaching Phil Dalhausser and Lucena to the 2021 Olympic Games

That, and, as always, so much more!

ENJOY!
