Description
This episode of SANDCAST: Beach Volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter, is an absolute treat, featuring BY FAR the most requested guest in podcast history: Kent Steffes, the most dominant player in the history of beach volleyball. In his brilliant, if not short, career, Steffes won nearly half the tournaments he played in, claiming the 1996 Olympic gold medal with Karch Kiraly, as well as four Manhattan Beach Opens. He’s a champions champion, and this episode more than delivers.
Steffes and Mewhirter recently published a book, Kings of Summer: The Rise of Beach Volleyball, that both our guest and host would love for you to buy on Amazon. We talked a whole lot about that, as well as:
What the AVP, Bally’s, and Volleyball World could be doing to get beach volleyball back in a financially healthy state
What the winning mindset is, and how Steffes became the perennial champion he was
Why he loved working on the book so much
How massive beach volleyball was when he was a player
And so, so, so much more. You’re going to want to listen to this entire episode, we promise.
ENJOY!
