Andy Benesh is the most improved beach volleyball player in the world in 2023. Entering this season with Miles Partain, Benesh was seeded third in the qualifier of a Challenge. Now? He and Partain are the No. 1 ranked team in the United States, and No. 3 in the world. His climb has been extraordinary, and exactly what USA Volleyball needed after the retirements of Jake Gibb and Phil Dalhausser. On this episode of SANDCAST: Beach Volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter, we talk all about Benesh’s breakout season, including: - What has led to his blink-and-you-missed-it improvement in 2023 - How he and Miles Partain have had at least “75 hours of debate” on their offensive and defensive strategies and vision - His breakout win at the Gstaad Elite16 – where he and Partain beat Anders Mol and Christian Sorum twice in the same tournament - The process of adding the jump-set to his game, and why being comfortable with failure has led to so much success And much, much more. Always a fun one with big Andy Benesh on the show. ENJOY! PHOTO CREDS: @BeachVolleyballWorld *** Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter have a NEW BOOK!
