For this 8th Episode of Volley SOAPs Podcast, we sit down with one of Team USA's top beach volleyball players, Travis Mewhirter.

Travis is currently an AVP Pro Player and a constant fixture for Team USA in the NORCECA and FIVB World Tour. Aside from being an elite player himself, Travis is also the host of Sandcast Podcast alongside Olympian Tri Bourne. Despite a late start in the sport of Beach Volleyball, Travis has been a major inspiration through his insane work ethic and drive to improve. 

In this episode, we talk about his career in the "SOAP notes" format as follows

(S)ubjective History
- His origin story of being a multisport athlete who never played volleyball
- How a casual invite while chilling at the beach got him to love Beach Volleyball
- How in such a short span of time, he was able to get into the big leagues of the sport

(O)bjective History
- What technical beach volleyball skills he is most proud of
- What technical aspect he is working most on
- What skill every aspiring player should master

(A)ssessment 
- An inside look at his current journey as an Beach Volleyball athlete and content creator

(P)lan of action

I hope you get to enjoy and be inspired by his story as much as I did!
