April Mailbag! A deep dive into the mental side of beach volleyball, sports, and life

April Mailbag! A deep dive into the mental side of beach volleyball, sports, and life

This episode of SANDCAST: Beach Volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter is our semi-monthly fan question episode that is doubling as a celebratory episode. We popped some bubble to celebrate Tri and Chaim Schalk winning their first AVP as partners, Savvy and Toni Rodriguez matching a career-best fifth at AVP New Orleans, and Travis BECOMING A DAD to Austin Zaun Mewhirter. And yes, we also answered some fan questions, including:

  • A deep, deep dive into the mental side of sport, beach volleyball, and life
  • Why are so many teams skipping Challenge and Elite 16 events
  • If you can only go to one AVP in California, which one would you go to?
  • Savvy Simo’s strange battle with on-court panic attacks

And a whole lot more!

SHOOTS!
