The Olympics are in the air for sure. At the time of this recording we are just a little more than 2 weeks away from the start of the Tokyo Games. After the long break and delay from Covid, the Games are finally back and ready to roll. It will definitely be a different kind of games. There still has not been a formal announcement on whether or not there will be fans at the Games. If there are, it will be on a very limited basis. They talked about 50% capacity but that is even a stretch now. Today's episode is a special one. I am going to do a mini deep dive into the Men's and Women's Team USA rosters in both indoor and beach volleyball. We'll talk about their preliminary pools, their chances (in my book), and my predictions for all the teams. I will predict Gold, Silver, and Bronze for all the sports. I am actually really curious how close I get. I want to hear from you all too with your predictions. Email me - ryan@crossnetgame.com. If someone picks all the winners, I will come up with some sort of prize. This was a fun one! Make sure to subscribe, give us 5 stars, and leave your comments.

We also dig into what the season looked like coming out of Covid. The challenges of not having a ton of time to put their system in place, while doing their best to be competitive.

He talks about some amazingly inspirational journeys that he and his family took to eventually get them to the US and him all the way to Los Angeles and USC. He and I also talk about Donald's road to competing in 2 Olympic Games (Athens in 04 and London in 2012) for the US (a road he honestly didn't even think was possible).

Tri also talks about his journey and battle with an auto immune disease that took him off the sand for nearly two full years. We talk about what he did during that time to keep himself sharp.
