Let's Keep Spitballing!
The If You Can't Handle The Heat podcast is an absolute gem in the world of volleyball podcasts. From its engaging hosts to its informative discussions, this show has quickly become a favorite among volleyball enthusiasts. As a 16-year-old aspiring coach, I find immense value in listening to the insights shared on this podcast.
One of the best aspects of this podcast is how it incorporates the volleyball community while also providing a healthy dose of comedy. The hosts, Joe, Micah, and Gage, have incredible chemistry and their banter adds an enjoyable lightheartedness to each episode. It's refreshing to listen to a podcast that doesn't take itself too seriously and still manages to deliver valuable content.
The podcast also delves into various topics related to volleyball, such as Team USA, professional club play abroad, and the differences in opportunities for men and women in the sport. These discussions are incredibly insightful and provide listeners with a comprehensive understanding of the current state of volleyball.
However, one potential downside of the podcast is that it occasionally veers off-topic. While the banter between hosts is entertaining, there are moments when it can overshadow or distract from the main subject matter. This may not be an issue for everyone but could potentially detract from the overall focus of the show.
In conclusion, The If You Can't Handle The Heat podcast is a must-listen for any volleyball enthusiast. It combines humor with informative discussions about various aspects of the sport. Whether you're looking for updates on Team USA or simply want to stay excited about Tokyo 2021, this podcast has something for everyone. Despite occasional tangents, Joe, Micah, and Gage's passion for volleyball shines through in each episode. I highly recommend giving this podcast a listen—it might just become your new favorite!

Does every state have a volleyball stereotype? FOR SUREEEEE! We went through all 50 states in America and named every stereotype for each state. Since we stereotyped each state using the direct contact we have had with the players from there, some states were left out, due to the fact that we never had any contact with players from that particular place. We are from California and Hawaii and we all played club since we were 6 years old, before going to to play D1 at Hawaii and UCLA and now currently play pro in some of the top leagues in the world. For Joe and Gage, their father owns a volleyball club (Pacific Rim) so their experience and contact in the club world is vast. Did we get all the states correct? Did we miss any? DM us on Instagram and let us know!!

Volleyball is a beautiful sport. Does it get the coverage to deserves? Probably not... BUT! Too many times people say need a billionaire or a billion dollar media company (like ESPN) to start streaming matches? Volleyball can get bigger without them. We feel that everyone has their own part to play in the growth of volleyball media and until we start to realize that... it's not going to grow the way we want it too.
