Jordan Cheng: Making a career out of "Once in a lifetime opportunities"

This episode of SANDCAST: Beach volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter, is with Jordan Cheng, the coach of Kelly Claes and Sarah Sponcil, the 10th-ranked team in the world and No. 3 in the American Olympic race.

On this episode, we discuss:

- Cheng's career as a coach, how his intentions to play professionally were constantly derailed by "once in a lifetime" coaching opportunities at Pepperdine, under Marv Dunphy, USA Volleyball under John Speraw, UCI, Reid Priddy and, now, Sponcil and Claes

- How Cheng, 28 years old at the time, came to be the coach for Priddy, one of the best volleyball players of all time

- His coaching philosophy: "I don't want to be a JV version of Jose Loiola. I want to be a varsity version of myself."

- How he came to coach Claes and Sponcil

- The importance of pursuing something bigger than beach volleyball
