Tallest Podcast on Earth

This week we sit down with 3x Olympic Genius David Smith. In this episode we go over how David went from "walking on" to the USA National team, to becoming a 3x Olympian. We talk about the adversity he had to overcome come on and off the court. Honestly, his story is inspiring. His road to success is such a great reminder that you can succeed and still eat candy.

We're back baby, and this episode is well worth the wait. Bruno Rezende literally has volleyball running through his veins. Born into a family of Olympic Volleyball players, Bruno has been setting straight out of the womb.
We're so excited to have him join TPOE to talk all about what it was like growing up with volleyball, how to be a good teammate, how he learned to be present, meditation techniques that have helped him along the way, and all about his Brazilian pride.

We discussed the book he's writing, how Brazilian training is different, the "defensive thermometer" and how he overcame losing in the Olympics by learning to forgive himself.
This is a really special one, so don't miss it!

Micah Maʻa (and another surprise guest) join me to discuss all the important stuff - Growing up, family, nutrition, philosophy, volleyball, relationships, and we of course have some friendly competition at the end of the episode.

Rett Larson: Doppelgänger to a (much younger) Ryan Seacrest. Head of strength and conditioning for the German National Women's volleyball team and overall, an absolute breath of fresh air of a human being.
We get into everything surrounding warm ups, difference between training for beach volleyball vs indoor, how to keep things fresh and maximize your training. Honestly if you don't learn something from this conversation, call me. You're up next.
