Kent Steffes: What Beach Volleyball (and sports) is Getting Wrong And How to Fix It

This episode of SANDCAST: Beach Volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter, features Kent Steffes.

Buckle up.

Steffes is one of the greatest beach volleyball players of all time, an Olympic gold medalist in 1996 who would win nearly half of the events he played. He has since gone on to become a prolific writer, author, podcaster, and, now, documentarian. He has opinions on the sport, and sports in general, and we get into all of them, including:

  • Why Steffes does not believe the AVP League will work
  • What changes he sees the sport needing to make in order to work
  • Why he writes and podcasts as much as he does, on the topics he does
  • Whether beach volleyball will ever become as big as it was in the 1990s, when he was at his peak

And so much more. Get your popcorn ready and strap in. This one is a fun ride.

SHOOTS!
