Andy Benesh: Playing with GOATs on his way to becoming America’s next top blocker

Andy Benesh is one of the brightest talents on the AVP Tour, as proven two weekends ago when he won the season-opening event of the 2022 AVP season in Austin, Texas. There’s a reason veterans and AVP champions such as Billy Allen, Nick Lucena, and Phil Dalhausser have competed with him: He’s darn good. And he’s going to be good for a long, long time to come.

On this episode with Andy Benesh, we chat about:

  • What it’s like to play (and win) with Phil Dalhausser
  • His momentous win at AVP Austin
  • The incredible impact Nick Lucena and Billy Allen have made on his career
  • His staggering rate of improvement in beach volleyball, and how he’s not even close to reaching his ceiling

And, as always, so much more.

ENJOY!
