  • Would give 6 stars if they could fix the sound.

    Content is awesome and I listen to all episodes. I listen in the car and unfortunately the volume swings from too low to to high. The opening music is always much louder than the last thing I was listening to. I immediately turn it down, then I can't hear the dialogue. Tri's voice is often far to quiet. I have to turn the sound up and down constantly. Sometimes I just give up and delete the episode.

  • Great beach volleyball insights…

    Love the show and the inside look at the players’ lives and backstories. Loved the behind the scenes stories from The Thin Beast and others.

    Please get the audio levels in line. Can’t hear Tri at all and Travis blows my eardrums. It’s especially obvious when I go from your podcast to another.

    One other recommendation. I realize it’s rated explicit for the rare F bomb that gets dropped, but I wish it wasn’t, so I could share it with my kids. Now that you guys are both family guys, maybe consi... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Karch Kiraly, And The Relentless Pursuit of Mastery
Q: How would you define mastery for yourself? And is there ever a point where you get there?
Kiraly sees mastery as an ongoing pursuit. Even after reaching a high level, people keep seeking greater mastery, and teams must improve faster than their competitors.
Karch Kiraly, And The Relentless Pursuit of Mastery
Q: What made you want to hop on board with this one and use valuable time that you don't have a lot of?
Kiraly had become selective after many documentary projects failed to materialize, but trusted producers Dave Johnson and Tom Fewer because of their commitment and love for volleyball.
Thomas Hurst, Gage Basey, And The Explosion of the Colorado Cupcakes
Q: Was there a focus coming in to Manhattan at that event for you guys? Like, okay, like we're working on this right now coming into that event or was it just, you know, go and play?
They saw the result as the accumulation of skills developed throughout the season. They focused on earning points themselves and adapting to each situation rather than waiting for opponents to make mistakes.
Thomas Hurst, Gage Basey, And The Explosion of the Colorado Cupcakes
Q: What do you think was the big shift this year? What clicked for you guys this year, do you think?
They credit regular joint practice with strengthening their defense, improving communication about sets, and letting them trust their defense rather than relying on aces to score.
October Mailbag! USA's New-Look System; AVP's Future; Olympic Predictions
Q: What are some of the best drills you would want your younger self to know that would help you improve the quickest to become an open player?
Travis recommends playing one-on-one in varied court sizes and conditions, including short court, skinny court, diagonal, no-jump, and restricted-shot games, for ball control, touches, competition, and conditioning.
