After upsetting the best team in the world, Perugia, in the Italian Super-league Finals and is now in a deciding 5th match against defending champions Lube Civitanova to see who advances to the championship... we welcome on THE Augustin Loser! Augustin is the starting middle middle blocker of Milano and the Argentinian national team and secured the bronze at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics with his match point block. Augustin first played Joe and Micah at the 2015 Junior World Championships and then once again in French League 2 years ago. Loser is considered one of the best up and coming middles in the world and has already accomplished so much in his young career. Listen up as he ranks his best middles in the Italian League, gives a match by match analysis on their huge upset versus Perugia, and tells us how crazy Yuki Ishikawa's fame is among the Japanese People

Does every state have a volleyball stereotype? FOR SUREEEEE! We went through all 50 states in America and named every stereotype for each state. Since we stereotyped each state using the direct contact we have had with the players from there, some states were left out, due to the fact that we never had any contact with players from that particular place. We are from California and Hawaii and we all played club since we were 6 years old, before going to to play D1 at Hawaii and UCLA and now currently play pro in some of the top leagues in the world. For Joe and Gage, their father owns a volleyball club (Pacific Rim) so their experience and contact in the club world is vast. Did we get all the states correct? Did we miss any? DM us on Instagram and let us know!!

Welcome to the latest episode of If You Can’t Handle the Heat, where we bring you the latest insights and discussions on the sport.

Micah shares his experience of a tough loss in the Champions League semifinals.

But that's not all, as we dive deep into a debated topic in volleyball - old school vs new school. Joe, Micah and Gage engage in a lively discussion, sharing their opinions and insights on how the sport has evolved over the years.

We take a closer look at the top leagues and players in the game and analyze how volleyball has changed since the older generation ways. Our resident expert, Joe, sheds light on how the youth in Europe continue to innovate the game, while America is struggling to keep up.

If you're a volleyball fan or player, this episode is not to be missed. So join us as we explore the fascinating world and history of volleyball.

We had the pleasure of interviewing Harper Murray, the #1 High School Volleyball recruit in the nation. She currently attends Nebraska, due to her HS working in trimesters, so she has been busy playing on their Beach Volleyball team. We dive into the recruitment process, playing in the Under Armor All American Games and some of the biggest things she has learned in her short career at Nebraska.
