Lewie Lett: The most passionate (and positive) voice in beach volleyball

Lewie Lett: The most passionate (and positive) voice in beach volleyball

This episode of SANDCAST: Beach Volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter, features a voice you will all likely recognize, and that's the voice of Lewie Lett, who does the color commentary for virtually every major FIVB tournament and has also been a prominent voice throughout the Tokyo Olympic Games, commentating on everything from beach volleyball to indoor volleyball to -- yes -- ping pong and skateboarding.

On this episode, we cover:

- Lewie's wild ride at the Tokyo Olympics, and how he can possibly keep up with a schedule that often includes four matches in a single day

- How a guy from England turned into one of the most passionate men in the sport of beach volleyball

- His ability to always, always, always keep things positive

- His thoughts and takeaways on the upset-filled Tokyo Olympic beach volleyball

- And, as always, much, much more.

ENJOY!
