Welcome back to the Road To Paris, where Travis Mewhirter breaks down the race to the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, France.

In this episode, Clarence welcomes guest host and USA Volleyball's Digital Media and Content Coordinator, Sevrin Lavenstein to the show. Then, they sit down with U.S. Beach National Team pair TKN, Taryn Kloth and Kristen Nuss (8:54 - 59:32). They share their experiences on the FIVB Beach Pro Tour and the AVP Tour, and talk about everything that went into transitioning from indoor to beach. They also go into their friendship and sisterhood, talk about what goes into a good beach partner and so much more. This is such a great conversation and one you won't want to miss!

This episode of the Road to Paris follows the Hamburg Elite16, an event in which every single men's medalist – Sweden's David Ahman and Jonatan Hellvig, Italy's Paolo Nicolai and Sam Cottafava, Norway's Anders Mol and Christian Sorum – has added the jump-set to their offense, not to mention fifth-place finishers and master jump-setters Miles Partain and Andy Benesh. The women's side is a touch different, as world No. 1 Ana Patricia Silva and Duda Lisboa need no trickery, nor do silver medalists Kristen Nuss and Taryn Kloth and German bronze medalists Cinja Tillman and Svenja Muller. Travis Mewhirter covers all of those medalists and jump-setters, as well as: Kristen Nuss and Taryn Kloth becoming the new No. 1 USA team in the Olympic rankings Ahman and Hellvig jumping up 10 spots in the Olympic rankings in the past two events The Brazilian women's race being all but set in stone, despite it being early in the race George Wanderley and Andre Loyola gaining control of the Brazilian men's race And much, much more, including a Waiakea explosion and a funny interruption from Siri or Alexa.

Melissa Humana-Paredes and Brandie Wilkerson should be crowned the real queens of Canada after their GOLD MEDAL at home in the Montreal Elite16.

MDJ Script/ Top Stories for July28th Friday Publish Date: July 27 Thursday   Commercial: Henssler :15   From the Henssler Financial Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast Today is Friday July 28th and happy 75th birthday to legendary NBC producer Dick Ebersol ***Ebersol*** I'm Dan Radcliffe and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Engineered Solutions of Georgia 1. 1 dead, 2 hospitalized in Cobb County house fire 2. Acworth police traffic stop leads to arrest of man charged with multiple felonies 3. And the Cobb commission hikes water fees over GOP opposition   All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast. Commercial : ESOG   STORY 1: fire   One person died, and two others were hospitalized due to a house fire on Merry Oak Road, off Hurt Road, according to Cobb Fire. The victim was identified as Nancy J. Martin, 75. The fire broke out around 5:30 a.m., and two residents, a woman and her child, managed to escape through a window before firefighters arrived. Firefighters rescued the three trapped individuals, initiating resuscitative efforts. The woman who escaped was injured but conscious, and the child was unharmed. The house was completely destroyed by the fire. The cause of the fire remains unknown and is being investigated. A family friend, Cole Long, expressed deep sorrow, describing the victim as a mother figure to him.....................……... Read more about this at mdjonline.com   Story 2: traffic   A routine traffic stop in Acworth led to a chase and the arrest of Youssef Amer, a 25-year-old man from Kennesaw. The stop was initially for lacking insurance and registration on his vehicle, but police discovered that Amer was wanted for several serious offenses, including aggravated assault and a probation violation related to armed robbery and aggravated battery. After setting up a perimeter and conducting an extensive search, officers, with assistance from other agencies, successfully located and apprehended Amer. During the arrest, they also found a large quantity of marijuana and THC oil in his possession. Amer is now facing multiple charges and is being held without bond at the Cobb jail.   Story 3: water   Cobb County residents will experience a 7.5% rise in their water bills from October 1, the second increase in two years. The Cobb Board of Commissioners approved the hike with a 3-2 vote, with two Republicans opposing. Commissioner JoAnn Birrell is against rate increases while the county transfers a portion of the water system's revenues to the general fund. The transfer percentage dropped from 7% to 6% in the recent budget. The chief financial officer, Bill Volckmann, stated that the reduction would put $2.5 million back into the water system. The water transfer is legal, but some commissioners are concerned about its impact on water rates. The increase is necessary due to higher costs in chemicals, biosolids disposal, wholesale water, materials, and the need for infrastructure replacements and upgrades. For the average residential water and sewer customer, the monthly increase will be $5.45.   we'll be right back   Break: CU of GA – Elon – Dayco   STORY 4: shuttle   The Cumberland Community Improvement District (CID) has introduced a new self-driving shuttle called the "Cumberland Hopper" that operates on two routes. The shuttle, manufactured by Navya and operated by Beep, can seat eight passengers and is part of an eight-month pilot program to collect data on moving people through the busy commercial district via self-driving vehicles. The routes include a back-and-forth run on a pedestrian bridge connecting Cobb Galleria to The Battery Atlanta and a loop around the Galleria office park, stopping at various locations. The ultimate goal is to have a fleet of shuttles connecting major destinations in Cumberland, offering alternative transportation options for residents and visitors. The shuttle is monitored remotely and operates on a virtual rail system. Attendees praised the shuttle's comfort and potential to enhance mobility options in the area.   STORY 5: divided   The Cobb Board of Commissioners approved a $1.2 billion fiscal year 2024 budget, representing a 3.8% increase from the previous year. The budget includes 34 new staff positions and raises of 3-4% for some employees. It allocates funds for various initiatives, such as a micro transit program, emergency warming shelters, a family advocacy center, and a countywide grant writer. The budget also adds $1 million to improve the county's permitting process for businesses. The county's general fund will increase by 3.4%, while the fire fund will grow by 13.6%. The budget passed in a party-line vote, with two GOP commissioners opposing due to concerns about the millage rate and spending.   Story 6: teachers   Around 600 new teachers recently attended the Cobb Schools New Teacher Academy, with some coming from neighboring school districts and even other states due to Cobb's reputation as one of the best places to teach. The district's focus on employees and programs like Georgia's BEST, which offers tuition-free advanced degrees, attracted many veteran educators. Superintendent Chris Ragsdale highlighted the district's commitment to student success, safety, and the use of the Cobb Teaching and Learning System (CTLS). During the academy, educators learned about CTLS and engaged in content-specific sessions to prepare for the upcoming school year. Building relationships with students was emphasized, and the new teachers were encouraged to make a positive difference every day.   We'll be back in a moment   Break: Drake- Ingles 6- G.O.N.   Story 7: Pigs   The 22nd Annual Pigs & Peaches BBQ Festival, presented by Williams Elleby Law Firm, will take place on August 18th from 6 to 10 p.m. and August 19th from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. at Adams Park in Kennesaw.

Other activities like the Pigs & Peaches Cornhole Classic and Parents Night Out are also scheduled. More information can be found on the festival's website or by contacting Kennesaw Parks & Recreation.   Story 8: Clemmons   Chase Clemmons, a former Etowah point guard, hosted a back-to-school event at the Salvation Army's Marietta facility before starting his basketball journey with Kennesaw State's team. He distributed free bookbags, school supplies, and other essentials to help families in need. Clemmons, who values giving back to the community, expressed his desire to make a positive impact as a student-athlete. The event, sponsored by Jersey Mike's and TEN91 Sports, was a success, with over 50 bookbags given out to 70 kids. After leading Etowah to the Region 6-6A championship, Clemmons now joins Kennesaw State's basketball program, aiming to make a strong first impression.   Story 9: AVP   The AVP Pro Beach Volleyball Tour's Gold Series Atlanta Open will take place at Atlantic Station from August 4th to 6th. The event will feature top professional beach volleyball athletes competing for men's and women's titles, including night sessions under the lights.

This week Anthony is joined by Taryn Kloth and Kristen Nuss, aspiring Olympians in the sport of beach volleyball. They talk about their experiences traveling the world to play beach volleyball at the professional level, some of their favorite places to play, their TKN brand, the support from fans globally, and more.

This episode of SANDCAST: Beach Volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter, is an absolute treat, featuring Alice Zeimann, the blocking half of the top pair in New Zealand. If you haven't heard of Zeimann and her partner, Shaunna Polley, you will soon. They are currently the No. 31-ranked team in the world, with a win over Kristen Nuss and Taryn Kloth in last fall's Torquay Elite16. An injury to Polley has limited their competition this season, but when they return, rest assured, they'll be competitive, and are Mewhirter's personal dark horse to qualify for the Paris Olympic Games. We chatted – in that lovely New Zealand accent! – about all manner of topics, including: How Zeimann was recruited by Hugh McCutcheon to play at Minnesota…and then by another Kiwi, Jason Lochhead, at Florida State The wild life of packing your bag and leaving home for almost the entire year, traveling on the Beach Pro Tour The imposter syndrome that comes with being trailblazers in a country without a long history of success in beach volleyball Why a routine is the most important thing to keep you tethered to reality when traveling from country to country, time zone to time zone And, as you can see from the length of this episode, so much more. What a delight it was to have Alice on the show. We think you'll enjoy!

This episode of SANDCAST: Beach Volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter features Kristen Nuss and Taryn Kloth, one of the fastest-rising teams on the AVP and Volleyball World Beach Pro Tour. Just how fast did they rise? Less than a year ago, they had zero international points to their name. Now they're No. 7 in the world and tops in the U.S. They were the 2022 AVP Team of the Year. And now they're making a push for the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. We chatted about their wild ride of a year, as well as: What it's been like learning how to lose with one another How it is being best friends, business partners, volleyball partners, and, yes, roommates The hilarious lessons they learned on the road last year, which led them to sprinting through Brazil to get to a match on time (a match they didn't think they had to play) What tools they've added to the metaphorical belt heading into 2023 And, as always, a whole lot more.

Kristen Nuss is an American professional beach volleyball player. Her path to being a top three player in the sport domestically is well-documented. Listed at 5'6", she holds the record for most wins at LSU, including a perfect 36-0 in her senior year for the pair one. With two years as full time pro under her belt, along with her college partner (Taryn Kloth), she already has multiple wins on the regional scene, as well as two gold series titles and most recently, a win at the finale at Phoenix. She had already won multiple titles on the international scene and is on the radar as an Olympic hopeful. Tune in, as we chat up, the New Orleans Pelicans, finding the balance of taking time to recover from getting after it, the loyalty of the "TKN nation," coach Drew Hamilton, the training that NCAA beach volleyball brings to the pro scene, fun venues to play, the freedom of beach over indoor, things her partner did well last year, things where she thought she could get better, the tight race to Paris, and MORE!

It was awesome to bring back Taryn Kloth and Kristen Nuss to talk about their transition to professional beach volleyball and what makes their partnership tick so well. I always say you must have enough talent to compete for championships, but how well you attack the non-technical aspects of your sport often determines if you and your team can max out when it matters the most. One of the few positive events to come out of the COVID-19 pandemic was the unlikely partnership of Taryn and Kristen while playing for the Beach Volleyball program at LSU. Even though they went undefeated while paired together during their last season at LSU, winning AVCA Beach Pair of the year, their rapid ascent to the top professional ranks in their first full year on the AVP Tour in 2022 has surprised many people. I have known Taryn since her days at Creighton University, where she played indoor volleyball, and have had the pleasure to watch her grow as a person and in her sport, so nothing surprises me with her—and if you know Kristen, she is the engine that drives home excellence. I love talking about growth through adversity, so it should not surprise you that my favorite part of our conversation was their performance struggles during 2022. But that laid the foundation for their next growth level, leading them to be named the AVP Beach Team of the year in 2022!

Key Points, Top Takeaways, and Memorable Quotes “COVID helped everybody in one way, I'm convinced of it.  Maybe it was to take a break, maybe your life was going way too fast, and you needed something like the entire world shutting down for you to actually allow yourself to take a break.” - Taryn @ 1:47“You have to put in a ton of work.  It for sure doesn't just happen.  In practice, you have to do things very specifically in order to be successful…..everything has to be very precise.” - Kristen @ 9:50“Definitely have to have a pretty decent arm, gotta get that arm up, and have to be able to hit every single shot in the books, over and over, eyes closed.” - Kristen @ 10:58“You have to be able to beat a pulling block as a defender so working on hitting those lines.  It doesn't have to have a ton of pace, but location.  That is your best friend as an undersized player!” - Kristen @ 11:28“You're not going to hide it by hunching over, so you might as well just put your shoulders back.” Taryn @ 15:26“My family is safe.” - Taryn @ 26:07“Realizing that you literally have no control over it is the scariest and most relieving thing that you can do.” - Taryn @ 32:05“There is someone better than you out there.” - Kristen @ 43:43“When you go to college, if you don't walk in and think ‘I am at the bottom of the totem pole,' something is wrong.” -Taryn @ 43:48“Learn your role, then wait for your opportunity and take advantage of it.” - Kristen @ 54:49Guest BiosKristen Nuss: Her stoic instincts on the sand are on point, and her fundamentals are solid.  Watching Kristen compete and win in her first season as a pro was even more exciting because of the opportunity I had to get to know her off the court.  Her no-nonsense approach and ability to show up for herself and her partner and control what she can control is an amazing thing to watch.  Whether an aspiring athlete is 5'6 like she is or 6'5 like her partner Taryn, her athleticism and mindset are worthy of taking notes.  She is a champion on and off the court. Taryn Kloth: Taryn is a fierce competitor with a gentle and fun-loving soul that drew me in immediately when we met in Louisiana in the summer of 2021.  She was a multiple-sport athlete growing up in South Dakota, had an indoor collegiate career at Creighton University, and only made the transition to the beach in 2020.  Her work ethic and positivity are elements to her personality that I love and even with an AVP Championship under her belt, alongside partner Kristen Nuss, in her first season as a pro in 2021, she has only begun to scratch the surface of her potential on the beach. Show Notes0:53 - Welcome1:14 - How It Started 1:58 - The Silver Lining of COVID3:34 - Thought on Competition 4:45 - Don't Forget to Breathe6:08 - Siblings, Birth Order, and Personality8:33 - Kristen's Other Sports Besides Flag Football9:38 - Advice to the Undersized Athlete10:40 - Advice Specific to Beach Volleyball11:49 - AVP High Line Shot Clip12:05 - Advice for tall girls17:25 - Taryn's Sports Experience19:01 - Siblings in Sports20:01 - Blended Families21:00 - New Orleans Saints Talk21:54 - Taryn's First Mardi Gras 23:15 - Their First Profession win @ AVP New Orleans 202224:47 - Louisiana Loves Sports27:21 - Making it to Chicago after the Hurricane30:45 - Rolling with the Punches33:39 - Just Play Free and Fun35:35 - Nice Vs.

They finished the NCAA season with LSU undefeated, a considerable accomplishment considering their opponents on court one. Then they won the first AVP they played in as a team, claiming gold in Atlanta, which was succeeded by a fifth-place finish in Manhattan Beach and a third in Chicago. But they're more than just good players, these two: They're a team. A real one. The only pair who stuck together from 2021 and into the 2022 season. We chat about that, and much more on the podcast, discussing: Their month-long training camp in Hermosa Beach, California Their thoughts on their wildly successful 2021 season Why they're so dedicated to staying with each other, even if that means a long, long climb up the FIVB ladder How they're trying to change the narrative of beach volleyball, both as players and in the location in which they're playing (Louisiana) And, as always, much, much more.

Jack interviews Kristen Nuss, who has officially put the volleyball world on notice. The former LSU beach volleyball star chased down shots far and wide while displaying an array of attacks en route to an AVP Atlanta championship victory with her partner Taryn Kloth. Their resounding victory over Olympians Kelly Claes and Sarah Sponcil put to bed any questions about Nuss' ability to carry the offensive load at 5'6” among the best in the sport. At the 40:00 mark, Kristen and Jack Culotta, Jr. pick their winners for every remaining Week 10 NFL game. Here's a hint - they disagree on quite a few games. Go Lions!

Tune in, as we chat up how playing in the smaller tournaments have prepared them for the two major tour stops, dealing with all kinds of weather and crazy conditions in New Orleans, Waupaca and Atlantic City, being unassuming to the big stage vs sudden nerves at Manhattan Beach, praise to their coaches on keeping them technically sound, other great players their age like Muno and Jones (Schoonerwoerd), how much or little video they watch to prep for matches, their reaction to the Olympics, taking one match at a time, what they thought they did well, where they need improvements and MORE!

You are going to love listening to this episode of the Max Out Mindset podcast. Their connection off the beach is a big reason why they are so successful on the beach. Taryn Kloth was a four-year starter at Creighton University where she was an All-American for indoor volleyball and then was able to continue her career with LSU Beach Volleyball. She is one of 15 athletes in history to be All-American in both indoor volleyball and beach volleyball. Her LSU beach partner, Kristen Nuss, is the NCAA beach volleyball all-time leader in wins with 139 in her decorated career. Her partnership this year with Taryn, playing in the #1 pairs position resulted in a record of 36-0 in 2021 and they were named the “Pair of the Year” both by Volleyball Magazine, AVCA, and CCSA Beach Pair of the Year.

Here are some facts about Kristen Nuss: She's arguably the best athlete on LSU's campus, if not the entire country. She's the winningest collegiate beach volleyball player ever. She's as competitive and focused as Joe Burrow and as athletically gifted as Ja'Marr Chase. She never planned any of this. Nuss' path to historic heights at LSU was unplanned and followed a unique path. But hard work, natural ability, and perfect timing has taken her to places she never imagined. Now, there's one thing left to do: win the whole damn thing. Watch the full interview on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38mx8XZPbEY

Russell Brock has spent the last several years building a program from the ground up. There's only one thing left to do. On today's installment of Tigers Win, we talk with LSU's Beach Volleyball head coach about building a championship contender and taking the last step from contender to champion. We also discuss the mental game as championship season approaches, controlling chaos, prioritizing in crunch time, and the greatness of Kristen Nuss.

Kristen Nuss and Taryn Kloth are American beach volleyball players and former indoor volleyball standouts. From HS state championships to NCAA conference crowns and tournament MVP, to All-American mentions, their accomplishments at such a young age are many. Winners of their last 5 regional tournaments, They ran roughshod through most of the best beach players in the country. They are now at LSY, about to finish their last year for University's sand program.
