Description

This episode of SANDCAST: Beach volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter features Mike Campbell. 

Campbell is the head coach of the Long Beach State beach volleyball team, and has been the coach for the AVP teams of Jeremy Casebeer and Chaim Schalk, Chaim Schalk and Chase Budinger, and, now, Casey Patterson and Chase Budinger. He has a brilliant mind for the game, having grown up playing it by the Santa Monica Pier, and this was such a fun podcast. 

We talk about:

- How Campbell accidentally began coaching Jeremy Casebeer and Chaim Schalk, and their win, two months later, in Seattle, a first for all three of them

- The difference between coaching professionals and college players, and the tweaks a coach must make to his system to manage it

- Why he began coaching professional beach volleyball players in the first place, given his extensive coaching duties already

- The boom of young talent in the United States, and the promise it's showing for years to come
