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.

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.

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 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.

“You don't have to overthink it- you just gotta have fun with what you're doing and enjoy the process!” [Catch the LIVE replay on Instagram or Youtube to watch behind the scenes!] Today's episode will always hold a special place in my heart because it's my first ever face-to-face interview, and also the fact that we recorded it on Olympic Day- and who else better to represent the value of the Olympic Games besides three-time gold medalist Misty May-Treanor?! I'm truly so lucky to be able to sit down and have a chat with Misty about her journey from the moment she stepped onto a volleyball court, to the accomplished athlete that she is today. In this episode, Misty talks about:- - How she started beach volleyball and played in her first tournament with her dad, Butch - Why she thinks she has never had the “perfect” game - Why the Brazilians were always her toughest opponents - How her training regimen has shifted throughout multiple years (in season & off season) - Why every athlete should start a food journal! - Her mentality when facing injuries (this one is really good!) - How to develop the ability to be a step or two ahead of your opponents - The main difference that separated she and Kerri with the other teams - Why being vulnerable is actually so important in our lives And as usual, much much more! This episode with Misty is a very special episode that I will cherish forever. I really hope that you enjoy it and that you've learned as much from her as I did!

Dans ce podcast, nous partons à la découverte de la mythique paire américaine de beach-volley : Misty May Treanor et Kerri Walsh Jeannings.  Les joueurs du pôle Espoirs de beach-volley de Montpellier nous font découvrir ces deux joueuses au palmarès flamboyant qui plus est, incarnent les valeurs du beach-volley telles que la capacité à collaborer et à communiquer.   L'histoire de cette paire montre que la complémentarité inter-personnelle est une richesse insoupçonnée et qu'elle se doit-être préservée. À l'image de la société, la tolérance est de rigueur au beach-volley.  En effet, en tant qu'êtres humains nous sommes tous différents et pour que la collaboration soit effective il est nécessaire d'accepter les différences de chacun afin d'en faire une force collective.    

America's Misty May-Treanor is the winner of three Olympic gold medals and the most successful women's beach volleyball player of all time. Misty formed an almost unbeatable team with Kerri Walsh-Jennings, but she faced a tough personal battle at the London games in 2012, which she had decided would be her last competition because of persistent knee and Achilles tendon injuries. Misty May-Treanor talks to Jeremy Inson about her challenges on and off the court. The programme is a Whistledown Production. PHOTO: Misty May-Treanor in action at London 2012 (Getty Images)

"I met Kurt when I decided to try out for the Santa Monica High School beach volleyball team in 10th grade. Although I started in volleyball many years after I began basketball, the prospect of playing on the beautiful beaches of Santa Monica, where so many stars like Sinjin Smith, Misty May-Treanor and Eric Sato had started, was too appealing to pass up. Like me, Coach Kurt also grew up and played sports in Santa Monica, pitching at an all-league level for Santa Monica High School and then UCLA's baseball teams.Kurt has been a kindergarten teacher for 25 years, teaching thousands of young students, including several mainstreamed students with Autism and Down's Syndrome. He created an original educational curriculum called “Rock & Roll Kindergarten”, introducing it to over 20,000 teachers across the country. Kurt's story is also interesting for me because he was diagnosed with ADHD while in college.Please join me in welcoming Kurt Schwengel to Sports on the Spectrum."

Throw in inspiration, idol, motivator and one of the GOATs.  Kerri Walsh-Jennings joins Rob Espero on this episode of the Viral Volley Podcast/Vodcast to discuss what makers her aspire to greatness, the 2019 FIVB season, her new partnership with Brooke Sweat, 2021 Tokyo Olympic Qualification and her off-court pursuits.

Three-time Olympic beach volleyball gold medalist Misty May-Treanor is back with the AVP; however, this time, she's not scooping up shots on the sand, but rather she's calling them from their broadcast booth. May-Treanor joined the Baseball Happenings Podcast to discuss how she's exploring her new role as a commentator for their broadcasts and what she can bring to the table with her decades of experience in the sport.

Today, we continue the conversation with one of the winningest Olympians of all time – sorry Nat L Whether it was her stellar Collegiate Indoor Volleyball career where she is considered the best all-around player in history or her unprecedented 102 match winning streak in international beach volleyball in 2007/2008, Kerri Walsh Jennings somehow manages to also win Sportswoman of the Year as well. Transcending the sport of beach volleyball by winning Gold in 2004, 2008 and again in 2012 w her partner Misty May, it would be appearances like Oprah and Ellen that would solidify her as a star but I believe its more like the fact that she raised three kids w her husband Casey during this whole Golden ride!She truly epitomizes the Whitney Houston song “Every Woman” as she now heads up her passion project P1440 w her hubby – a digital platform exclusively built around the sport and culture of beach volleyball. But don’t think she’s done getting her feet sandy as she is in the running for qualification for her 6th Olympic Games. And don’t think the first-ever postponement of the Games will get her down – only serves as more time to “sharpen the blade” as she commented!It's her attitude for life that I really want to explore. Yes, she’s one of the winningest athletes of all time, but she is so much more than that. She’s somehow relatable and lovely and smart and funny and lovingly thoughtful and courageous all balled into one…lets dive a little deeper into the making of such a human!The Goods on Kerri:Paired up with Misty May-Treanor, Kerri Walsh-Jennings won Olympic gold in beach volleyball at the 2004, 2008 and 2012 Summer Olympic Games, and is known as one of the best players to ever compete in the sport. At the 2012 Summer Olympic Games, Walsh-Jennings and May-Treanor started off with a bang, defeating Australia, the Czech Republic, Austria, The Netherlands, Italy and China. They went on the win the final against fellow American team Jennifer Kessy and April Ross, 2-0 (21-16, 21-16), taking their third consecutive gold medal in beach volleyball. Upon May-Treanor's retirement, Walsh-Jennings paired up with former competitor April Ross for the 2016 Rio Olympics. In 2005, Walsh-Jennings married Casey Jennings, a top U.S. men's beach volleyball player. She gave birth to the couple's first child, Joseph Michael Jennings, in May 2009. The couple had another son, Sundance Thomas, in May 2010, and a daughter, Scout Montgomery, in April 2013.In February 2018, the volleyball star opened up to CNN about the professional complications that follow the news of a pregnancy, from the loss of sponsors to warnings of physical problems that could impede career ambitions.Contact Kerri: Twitter: @kerrileewalsh Instagram: @kerrileewalsh P1440 Website: www.p1440.com Go to http://www.bit.ly/InTheGamePodcast to become part of this growing community of DREAMERS!

It was 2005 when Tatiana Minello and Mimi Amaral needed a coach. Not just any coach. The natives of Rio de Janeiro were making the move to the AVP. They needed someone who could speak English. “You speak English!” they said to Marcio Sicoli. “Let’s use you!” The United States didn’t know it at the time, but one of the most successful beach volleyball coaches of this generation was about to cross its borders. Sicoli was more than just a 25-year-old who both knew his way around the beach and could speak English. Already, he had an Olympic silver medal, having coached Shelda Kelly Bruno Bede and Adriana Brandao Behar to a silver at the Athens Games. That would seem young, by American standards, to have risen to the top of any kind of hierarchy, be it in sports or business, at that age. It is not so in Brazil. “I was really involved in playing and at an early age, it was ‘Do you want to play or do you want to coach?’” Sicoli recalled on SANDCAST: Beach volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter. Sicoli took stock of his frame: 5-foot-11. Not short, but also not the fast track to developing as an elite player in the perpetually deepening Brazilian pipeline. “Playing,” he said, “wasn’t an option.” He took his father’s advice and enrolled in the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, setting for the indoor team but turning his focus mainly to his degree in Physical Education. He graduated in 2001, the same year he achieved a Level II certification in Brazilian Beach Volleyball, becoming the youngest to hold that title. “I knew, early on, that I was a personal person,” he said. “I wouldn’t be talking to machines, I wouldn’t be talking to computers. I didn’t like that. I knew that. It was natural. In college, my sophomore year, I was playing on a team and I got an internship with PE at a high school and that was it. It’s that passion: To be with people, and drive through other peoples’ success. That’s what coaching is. If you see a process and you see something really cool happening that is not with you but someone else, and when that happens, great, and you move onto the next one.” In 2007, his next move wasn’t an easy one. As it goes when you achieve certain levels of success, offers became coming in. Holly McPeak was one of the many to take note of Sicoli’s talents as a coach. The three-time Olympian offered him a full-time job, in the United States, to coach her and Logan Tom. She’d set him up with indoor contacts so he could make money during the off-season months. Here Sicoli was, with a “job for life” as a PE teacher in Rio, a wife and family in Brazil – and an incredible offer in the United States. “I talked to my dad and he looked at me and said ‘Worst case scenario, you’re coming back and I’ll be here for you,’” Sicoli recalled. “I said ‘Ok, let’s do it.’” McPeak and Tom fizzled, but the indoor contact McPeak set Sicoli up with was Tim Jensen, then an assistant coach at Pepperdine. “Twelve years later,” he said, smiling his cherubic smile. Twelve years later, Sicoli is living a life that would have been difficult to imagine as a PE teacher in Rio. He’s an American citizen now, something he takes immense pride in, and though you are not likely to get him to talk politics, he will tell you that he’s thrilled to vote in the upcoming election. He has remarried, with an infant, Max, and another on the way. He has coached in two more Olympics, winning gold with Kerri Walsh Jennings and Misty May-Treanor in London and bronze with Walsh Jennings and April Ross in 2016. He was promoted to head coach at Pepperdine in 2019, when Nina Matthies retired after an astonishing 35 years, one of the most successful individuals in the game.   Sicoli has never talked to machines. He does not sit in front of computers all day long. He’s doing what he has always been enamored with: Working with people, building relationships, thriving on the success of those he helps.    “I love what I do,” he said. “I don’t want to go anywhere. Hopefully I can do 20 more years then I can retire to the beachfront.”

The Net Live crew brings everything full circle for our last episode.   Misty May-Treanor was the very first guest back in 2009 and now our last guest.   In this episode, Misty is on a VERY important mission while discussing her life post playing career.  She talks about her decision to coach at Long Beach City College, her dance moves on the AVP Tour and what life is like for her and her family now. We couldn't be more grateful Misty took the time out of her busy life to call in and make out last episode even more special.

Anna Collier is sitting on Tri Bourne’s couch, and she is – if you can believe it – relaxed. She hasn’t been to the beach in months, aside from when she rides her bike down the strand. She’s getting facials, going to the spa. Reconnecting with old friends. Getting fit. “Just call me Soccer Mom Anna Collier,” she said on SANDCAST: Beach Volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter. For anyone who knows, or has known, Collier, this is a near-impossible thing to imagine. For the past four decades, Collier hasn’t had time for facials. Trips to the spa. Relax? How can you relax when your day job, for just shy of 40 years, included acting as the Athletic Director, compliance office and volleyball coach at Santa Monica College? Most coaches take the summers off, do they? Not Collier. That was for FIVB, for AVP, for juniors. Non-stop the coaching cycle went, around and around and around. Until, on June 6, it came to a halt. Collier announced her retirement from USC, where she had built not only a beach program, the first of its kind, but had played an integral role in building beach volleyball as a sport at the collegiate level. “It was time,” she said. There is never any one reason for such a monumental decision in one’s life. But as those reasons accumulate over the course of 40-plus years, sometimes it takes one gentle nudge, from a former protégé, to tip you over the edge. That came, in part, from Misty May-Treanor, whom Collier had once coached. “When,” May-Treanor wondered, “are you going to have won enough?” On Collier’s fingers, figuratively, were seven National Championship rings at USC. On her resume were 206 wins and only 38 losses at SC. To her name is virtually every coaching record one can imagine: 62 consecutive wins, an NCAA recore; two-time Coach of the Year; first head coach to reach 100 wins, and 150, and 200. Enough victories over rival UCLA for the rest of the university to be happy. The more Collier thought about it, the easier it became for her to admit, both to herself and to the public, that “it’s time.” And for the first time in as long as she could remember, she slept like a rock. No longer was her mind whirring over recruiting – Who to call, when to call them, who to look for – or how she could tinker with this lineup or that partnership. Her biggest decision, suddenly, was: “Do I take my bike this way, or that way?” And she loves it. “I haven’t had a summer off in a long time,” she said. “This is literally the first summer I’ve had off in four decades.” What she leaves behind is a legacy and coaching epoch that will be labeled as iconic. She, alongside similarly Hall of Fame caliber coaches such as Nina Matthies at Pepperdine, helped usher in an entirely new era of beach volleyball, growing the college game into the fastest growing sport in NCAA history. And it all began with crashing a golf cart. In 2013, Sara Hughes was one of the best indoor players in the country. A four-year starter at Mater Dei, an athletics powerhouse in Santa Ana, Hughes was named team MVP in three consecutive seasons, the Female Athlete of the Year. All-American. All-League. All-Everything. And Anna Collier had a shot. Hughes had grown up playing sand in Huntington Beach. When she was touring schools, she made a firm rule that it needed to have a beach program, which less than 20 in the country did when she was making her decision. USC had launched its program in 2012, with only one scholarship athlete, Geena Urango. Collier had no idea if she could even offer any others, but this was Sara Hughes. She’d find a way. There was only one problem: Her recruiting trip was a complete disaster. Collier loaded up Hughes and her father, Rory, in then-indoor coach Mick Haley’s golf cart, and off they went, driving around campus, which Collier was hardly any more familiar with than Hughes was. She was still working at Santa Monica College at the time, and hadn’t had much availability to learn USC’s campus outside of anything volleyball related. So they toured, and Collier “just made stuff up,” about the buildings, making a mental footnote to actually learn a thing or two. But she can’t make up the next part, about Collier coming to a structure of arches on campus – and crashing the golf cart directly into them.    “She walks out the door and I look to my assistant and I’m like ‘We’ll never see her again. That’s it. We’re done,’” Collier said. She’s able to laugh about it now, because, as you know by this point, Hughes became a Trojan, launching one of the most dominant four years in all of college sports. And it wasn’t just Hughes. With five more scholarships than had been originally budgeted, a rapid increase thanks to “an anonymous tip,” Collier said, laughing a surreptitious laugh, she locked in Kelly Claes, Allie Wheeler, Nicolette Martin. Born was the indomitable power that would become USC beach volleyball. Now that power is in the hands of Dain Blanton, who coached under Collier for four seasons as the volunteer assistant. Collier knows USC is in good hands. Blanton’s the right man for the job. As for her? She’s already had requests to coach at the professional level. Her answer every time: I’m not doing anything. Not this summer, at least. She’s enjoying the Summer of Anna Collier. She likes being Soccer Mom Anna Collier, where she gets to wake up and wonder: Do I go left on the strand, or right? For the first time in more than 40 years, it really doesn’t matter. “This,” she said, “is sweet.”

It wasn’t exactly an audacious start, was it? September 12, 2016. The first match of Melissa Humana-Paredes’ and Sarah Pavan’s partnership: A country quota against Brandie Wilkerson and – who else? – Pavan’s former partner, Heather Bansley, in Toronto, no less, the training center for the Canadian national team, where Pavan has played something of a revolutionary role. She did not, however, play that role on September 12 of 2016. On that day, her and Humana-Paredes, an affable young defender of 23 years at the time, lost, 21-23, 13-21. They wondered, almost incredulously, if they could feel such an emotion at the time, why a reporter had reminded them of that loss. He had reminded them in the moments after they had won the World Championship. It was Canada’s first. A momentous achievement not just for two individuals carving out history in a sport rich in it, but for a nation that is rapidly creating a foothold in a space traditionally dominated by countries south of the Canadian border.   “Why would you remind us of that?” they wondered, simultaneously. Because it makes the narrative that much sweeter, the process that much more real. There is no relating to a story with a smooth beginning, steep curve in the middle and a World Championship at the end. They know it, too, even if they didn’t want to relive that country quota loss quite so soon after reaching a new pinnacle for Canadian beach volleyball. “Every failure,” Pavan said, “has led to this moment. Nobody sees the tough moments.” What most see is that Humana-Paredes and Pavan are currently doing for Canada, on their on relative scale, what Kerri Walsh Jennings and Misty May Treanor once did for the United States: They’re writing their own country’s history.   It was at Gstaad, where the best players in the world are currently competing, a year ago where Pavan and Humana-Paredes claimed Canada’s first major title. Didn’t even lose a match, those Canadians, dethroning the countries that laid the foundation of beach volleyball’s traditional powers that be: 21-15, 21-15 over the United States, 14-21, 21-12, 15-13 over Brazil, 21-17, 12-21, 17-15 over Germany. Only months before that, they had become the first Canadian team to win a Commonwealth Games. It was last June when Humana-Paredes said, on SANDCAST: Beach Volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter, that “we have so much more that we need to improve on and that we can improve on and I think our potential – it seems limitless right now."  Prophetic words. It hasn’t all been pretty, and they knew it wouldn’t. Pavan knew she was taking a chance on Humana-Paredes then, who had been relatively unproven at the time. She knew the potential upside, an upside that is now paying dividends in the form of history, of major titles, of World Championships. “It happened much quicker than either of us expected,” Pavan said on that episode a year ago, and those same words ring true a year later. “It’s nice to see the grit and the fire of not being satisfied with making one semifinal or one podium or whatever.” And so they’ll continue to remain unsatisfied. So long as reporters continue to remind them of their humble beginnings, if not only to show them just how far they’ve come. “The things we have overcome this week, last week, this year, in the last two years, three years and now we’re world champions,” Humana-Paredes said. “I have no words.” No need for words when you have history.

You could have seen this path a long time ago, had you been paying close enough attention. When Nicole and Megan McNamara, identical twins from Vancouver, Canada, were on the same indoor team. One set, the other hit. Four others were on the court, sure, but “she would set me every ball,” Megan said, as the two broke out in fits of laughter. “And our coach was like ‘You gotta give other people some love.’” Not really, actually. There was beach, too. Nobody else to set. Nobody else to hit. Just the twins. Even in a quasi-team environment at UCLA, where they ushered in a new, small ball, fast movement offense that is becoming vogue in the college game, it was still just the McNamaras on court one. They could win and the Bruins could lose, or vice versa, which, Megan admitted, “is bizarre. It’s a bizarre feeling.” “You can win your match but then UCLA loses and you’re happy, then you’re bummed or vice versa,” Nicole said. “You’re all pissed about your loss but the team’s all stoked.” It was a bizarre and perfect four years in Westwood. Two National Championships. One of the most successful partnerships the game has seen in its nascent stages at the collegiate level. Now it’s back to their roots: Just the two of them. No scheduled practices with Stein Metzger and the crew. No team nutritionist or personal trainers or world class weight facilities. Just Megan and Nicole, taking on the world. That’s where they are right now, actually. Out in the world. Itapema, Brazil, specifically. Thousands of miles from home, whether that home be considered Vancouver or Westwood at this point. Recipients of the wild card, they’re straight into main draw, an excellent welcome to the tour gift from the FIVB, which is suddenly becoming replete with Canadians playing at a world-class level. Two different Canadian teams – Melissa Humana-Paredes and Sarah Pavan, Brandie Wilkerson and Heather Bansley – held the top spot in the world at one point last season. The McNamaras are already high enough in the world ranks that they’ve earned a spot in the World Championships during the last week of June and first of July, in Hamburg, Germany. “Our main goal for the summer was going to be to qualify for some of the bigger tournaments, and also to get settled with our new life in Toronto,” Nicole said. “Those were our main focuses so even qualifying for World Championships was amazing. We wouldn’t have expected that. If you would have told us that last year, we wouldn’t have believed you. It’s unbelievable.” What’s unbelievable now will be the standard soon enough. It would have been unbelievable, when they were freshmen Bruins, to conceive of a time when a school not named USC would win back-to-back national titles. Now that’s the new standard. It would have been unbelievable, when they were pre-teens, watching Kerri Walsh Jennings and Misty May Treanor, to conceive of a time when they’d not only be competing at their level, but pushing them. Now, after taking Walsh Jennings and Brooke Sweat to three in Mexico in October, that’s the new standard. So they’ll continue setting standards, blowing past expectations, making the unbelievable quite real quite regularly. And they’ll do so, as they’ve always done so, together.  “If it’s just the two of us out somewhere in the world we just need to lean on each other a little more,” Megan said. “I think that kind of helps because we were kind of cushioned at UCLA with all the support, and also knowing that our two through fives have our back. Knowing we’ve invested a lot of time, money, it helps us come together.”

What drives a five-time Olympian? Today, we hear from the true legendary champion Kerri Walsh Jennings. The best beach volleyball player in the world sits with us for a conversation all about drive and inspiration. "My bronze completes me. My dark side completes me... You need to have both." - Kerri Walsh Jennings Discipline Liberates and Consistency Feels Great One of Kerri's favorite quotes is Jocko Willink's “Discipline equals freedom.” A lot of high-performing people get either flak for being so disciplined or pity for being “punished”. But discipline liberates and allows Kerri the space to breathe and accomplish things. Discipline is all about showing up and doing what it takes on the daily. And it is as beautiful a word as competition despite the negative connotation often attached to the two. “It makes me feel good to be consistent and to do the hard things when things are hard and to do it until they're done.” - Kerri Walsh Jennings Love for Winning Always Wins Like most athletes, Kerri loves winning. But her relationship with it is as unique as it could get. The joy of winning motivates and inspires her more than the pain of losing. People would often say that losing motivates them, but Kerri thinks that losing is like a chronic injury or a weight on one's shoulders. It gets into your psyche in a way that drives you crazy. It is a toxic feeling despite the positives to it. “I love winning more than I hate losing, which I think is why I'm still going.” - Kerri Walsh Jennings Feeling at Home in the Olympics With her veteran status in the Olympics, one would think that she felt the pressure of having basically the entire world watching her either win or lose. But not once has this ever occurred to Kerri. The Olympics is fun, and she has always found it helpful to create a bubble around her to make her feel safe and not get caught in the noise. She has found her home in the Olympics, and not even the millions of spectators would take her off her game. To hear more about Kerri's distinction between inspiration and motivation and a whole lot more, download and listen to the episode. Bio: Kerri Walsh Jennings has been called, “the Best Beach Volleyball Player in the World”. Kerri is a five-time Olympian, three-time Olympic gold medal winner, and a one-time bronze medalist. She is the beach volleyball career leader in career wins. And Kerri is half of what has been called "the greatest beach volleyball team of all time," with her longtime partner Misty May-Treanor. She is currently training and competing with her partner Brooke Sweat to compete in the 2020 Games in Tokyo. Walsh Jennings is also an entrepreneur. She is the founder of p1440,  a beach volleyball event series launched in September 2018 with eight events in the 2018–2019 season, showcasing the best in women's and men's beach volleyball from around the globe.

HAPPY MARCH MADNESS! We sat down with the greatest volleyball player of all time Misty May-Treanor to ask about her amazing career and what life is like now (21:11-50:02). ‘Low Key’ The Angels to Long Beach is real (4:03-8:28). ‘SHHHHH' Hey Long Beach…SHHH about our airport (8:29-16:59). ‘WEIRD’ UCLA pitcher and friend of the show Zach Pettway had another great outing. WEIRD (53:01-56:17). ‘Wait, What Happened?’ Poly baseball beat Millikan 6-4? (56:18-57:51) As always we ended the show with the 908 Athlete of the Week. This week is Long Beach State guard Jordan Roberts (1:08:41-1:15:03).

In their Blue Wire debut, Kayla Anderson & Gabriella DiGiovanni announce the new name of their podcast and chat with three time Olympic gold medalist Kerri Walsh Jennings. The beach volleyball star talks about her start in volleyball, getting paired with Misty May-Treanor, and what she's doing now to pay it forward.

Dane Selznick has seen it all. Seen every last one of beach volleyball’s many evolutions. He was there when players competed for little more than pride and maybe – maybe – a free dinner. He was there when two men named David Wilk and Craig Masuoka formed a promotional company named Event Concepts and began hauling in the Millers and Cuervos of the world and throwing legitimate prize money into tournaments. He was there when the AVP Tour was founded, in 1984, and when it collapsed, and when it formed again, and when it collapsed once more, to be revived in its current iteration under Donald Sun. He’s seen both the golden era, financially, when 10 players once banked more than $100,000 in prize money alone, and he’s seen the most dominant era, when Kerri Walsh-Jennings and Misty May-Treanor once rattled off 112 straight wins and three consecutive gold medals from 2004-2012. And now he is witness once more to the latest permutation in professional beach volleyball, the upstart event series, p1440, founded by Walsh-Jennings and her husband, Casey, and former college teammate Dave Mays. In March, Selznick, who had been a tournament director for the California Beach Volleyball Association (CBVA), founding the Gene Selznick Invitational, an eponymous nod to his father, was hired as p1440’s Director of Competition and Sport. “About a year ago, Kerri approached me and said ‘Dane I have a project I’d love for you to be a part of,’” Selznick said on SANDCAST: Beach Volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter. “She gave me a little bit of background, I brought it to the head staff at CBVA, got their opinion to see if it would be a good fit, and here we are. Everything’s moved along pretty quickly.” Blindingly fast may be a more apt description. P1440 has announced dates for four events in its inaugural season, one of which will be an Olympic qualifier in Las Vegas, while the other three are partnered with the FIVB as international exhibitions. They’ve announced a lengthy list of sponsors that includes ROKA (eyewear), Alsa Energy (water), RX (protein bars), Brand X (strength and conditioning programs), AcuSpike (volleyball training), NormaTec (recovery), among a host of others. They’ve formed a developmental training program, replete with an armada of the finest coaches in the world, and a partnership with the CBVA, the pipeline from which many of the top players in the country cut their teeth, and where p1440 is now hosting what’s known as “satellite qualifiers,” allowing players to compete locally, weeks prior to the event itself, for a spot in the main draw. “They looked at our [CBVA] schedule extensively, and they were trying to select those certain events that they felt fit the mold to be a qualifying point-getter for the players,” Selznick said. “There are specific tournaments that we have that award you p1440 points. The qualifying satellites are enticing for the players because it gives them something more than playing in a tournament. Now they’re playing for a main draw spot in tournaments that offer high level competition, a lot more prize money – you’re guaranteed more money just getting into the tournament. I think being an alternative tour to what we’ve got going on, as long as it’s not conflicting, I see no problem with it, because it really gives players a lot more opportunities to make money.” More opportunities has been the theme of the past few months. In 2018, the AVP put on eight open events, one of which was partnered with the FIVB in Huntington Beach, before adding invitationals in Hawai’i and Huntington Beach. The upstart King of the Court series hosted another handful, to go along with upwards of 40 FIVBs of varying levels. And now there’s p1440, adding events at the end of September (San Jose), mid-October (Las Vegas), end of November and early December (San Diego) and mid-December (Huntington Beach), with events on the horizon in Texas, Florida and Los Angeles. “It seems like a pretty exciting time right now for the sport in general,” Tri Bourne said. “It’s cool, I think the sport is gaining a lot of momentum right now. There’s a lot of people like yourself and p1440 and AVP and King of the Court and FIVB and CBVA that are all kind of creating opportunities in their own way. I think it’s great. It seems like the sport is gaining some momentum.” That next opportunity begins Thursday, with the San Jose on-site qualifier, and extends through the weekend, in a domestic event that features the top two teams in the world of each gender – Norwegians Anders Mol and Christian Sorum and Brazilians Carolina Salgado and Maria Antonelli – as well as a host of the best talent in the United States – Sean Rosenthal and Chase Budinger, Jeremy Casebeer and Reid Priddy, Billy Allen and Theo Brunner, Chaim Schalk and Piotr Marciniak, Walsh-Jennings, Nicole Branagh and Lauren Fendrick, Kelley Larsen and Emily Stockman, Caitlin Ledoux and Geena Urango. “It’s just great to have more opportunity,” Selznick said. “Bottom line. Every entity should take care of its athletes. It’s like the Olympic Games, the athletes are No. 1.”

Perhaps you needed proof. Proof that Sara Hughes is, indeed, the one to fit the headline of this very podcast: That she is fit to become the next face of beach volleyball. Had you stopped by Huntington Beach last Friday morning, you'd have had all the proof you'd need. There, on court one, was Hughes, this week's repeat guest on SANDCAST: Beach Volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter, and partner Kelly Claes. There was coach Jose Loiola and mentor Misty May-Treanor. There was Ben Vaught and Tanner Woods, because, yes, Hughes and Claes train with professional men on occasion.   And there, lining the court was a dozen or so girls, member of the Long Beach City beach volleyball team, watching, studying, looking on. Taking notes on Hughes. Yes, they were at the Huntington Beach Pier that day because they had practice – but a Long Beach-based team doesn't necessarily need to come to Huntington Beach to practice. There were there because that's where May-Treanor, the director of beach volleyball operations at LBC, was, and May-Treanor was there because, well, Hughes. There's a reason Hughes and Claes have landed one Hall of Famer (Loiola) and another who could go down as one of the greatest talents in volleyball history as their coaches. It could be argued – and it often is – that Hughes and Claes, both 22 years old, have more potential than any individual or team in the world, more, even, than the precocious Duda, the 19-year-old Brazilian star and 2016 FIVB Rookie of the Year. Already, Hughes and Claes have won an AVP, the 2017 season-finale in Chicago. Already they have reached FIVB quarterfinals and landed some of the game's top names as sponsors. Already they have broken previous goals and established new ones. In their first season as professionals, breaking pool in international play was the goal. In their first event, a four-star in Rio, they finished fifth. Now, in just one season as full-time professionals, and a truncated one at that, seeing as they had to miss the early season events while they wrapped up what figures to be the most dominant college run for quite some time, Hughes and Claes see anything less than a podium finish as a shortcoming. Finishes, though, are but one tangible measurement for the success of Hughes and Claes. There is no barometer through which to measure their “inspiration” to the next generation of beach volleyball players. For now, you can see it yourself, right there, on the sidelines of court one, watching, observing, taking notes – figuring out ways to become the Next Sara Hughes.

On one of the walls in Sara Hughes' bedroom is a poster of Misty May-Treanor. It's been there since she was little, when Hughes began getting into volleyball, serving as a reminder of what she might become one day should she continue to pursue this beach volleyball dream of hers. So it struck her when, during a tournament this season, a parent of a young fan approached her and told Hughes that, on one of the walls in her daughter's bedroom, is a poster of Hughes. “I was like ‘No way that's actually happening,'” Hughes recalled on SANDCAST: Beach Volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter. “I am so grateful for that and I hope I can keep being a person young people can look up to for a long time and thank you to everyone who does.” Did you catch that, at the end? Hughes thanked the fans for looking up to her, not the other way around. In an era where celebrities grow more and more closed off, taking instead to social media to communicate behind iPhones and laptops, Hughes remains open, willing to talk to anyone, pepper with anyone, give back any way she can. “I'm always just trying to help people,” she said. “If anybody wants to ask, just come up to me, you can ask me directly.” No different than May-Treanor continues to treat her.  When her age could still be measured with a single digit, Hughes would head down to the Huntington Beach Pier and sit on the wall, waiting for a chance, any chance, to simply shag balls for May-Treanor. Sometimes May-Treanor would let her pepper or hop in for a drill or two, creating an indelible memory that Hughes will cherish more than likely the rest of her life. “I love talking to people and I love talking to young girls because I don't think I'd be in the position I am today if I didn't have the coaches I had and people like Misty May taking the time to talk to me,” she said. “I love doing the same to everyone else.” She's a sponsor's dream, Hughes. She has the looks – blonde hair, blue eyes, Colgate smile – the smarts – she's currently on a one-year track to earn her Master's degree, just a year after delivering a graduation speech at USC – the media savvy, the talent, a voracious competitive drive juxtaposed with a disarmingly charming personality. Oh, yes. She has earned this position, the right to have Mikasa run her through photo shoots and turn those shoots into posters for young girls to hang on their walls, to point to each night and morning and say “I want to be like that.” Her accolades at USC could fill a small book's worth of pages, and it's a wonder if some of her records – four consecutive national titles, a winning streak that eclipsed 100 matches, a perfect 48-0 junior season, four-time All-American – will ever be broken. Justifiably, this drew no small amount of media coverage, and while she was appreciative – always thanking anyone for taking the time and interest in her – it drove her a bit insane, how those reporters would invariably walk right past her exceptionally talented teammates. On the occasion that the media showed interest in the rest of USC's indomitable team, more often than not they'd ask questions not about how their match went, but what they thought about Sara and her partner, Kelly Claes. “I hated that when it was just ‘Oh! Sara and Kelly and Team USC!'” Hughes said. “I was like ‘No, you don't realize, these girls who are on [teams] two, three, four, to the eighth team, they're our support system. We would not be close to being good or successful without our teammates. They deserve just as much fame and respect as we do because we're out there on the same hot court at USC and we're training, every day, together.” Her teammates, as she said, were plenty talented, and a number of them – Nicolette Martin, Terese Cannon, Jenna Belton, Sophie Bukovic, Allie Wheeler, to name a few – have already begun making a name for themselves on the AVP Tour. Yet Hughes, as May-Treanor was, will be the name fans point to as the next in this massive wave of beach volleyball talent rising from the college ranks. She will be the one on the posters, and in the commercials for Oakley and KT Tape and Mikasa and any other sponsor wise enough to sign her.   She's becoming the next generation's version of May-Treanor – the one everyone looks up to – quicker than she could have possibly realized.   The final question of SANDCAST is reserved for the athletes to discuss anything else they'd like to discuss, anything the hosts may have missed. Most demur, maybe shout out a sponsor or two, thank us for the time. Hughes, instead, had a message for her fans: “For the young players and any parents who are listening, I love the indoor game and the beach game, of course. So a lot of players are making this decision where they love the indoor but they have to play the beach in college because they think that's the only thing they can play. I just think it's huge for young girls to play both if they love both.” You can teach any volleyball skill there is. But to become the next face of a sport, as May-Treanor once was? That's a trait passed down, from one legend to the one who might just become the next.
