Matt Fuerbringer: Respecting the work that's required of greatness - a podcast by Travis Mewhirter

This episode of SANDCAST: Beach volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter, features Matt Fuerbringer, the associate head coach at Long Beach State and one of the all-time good people in beach volleyball. He's a Manhattan Beach Open champion and came within a fingernail of qualifying for the 2012 Olympic Games with Nick Lucena, a story we discuss on the podcast. 

We also chat about:

- His partnership with Casey Jennings, and the emotional team they were that thrived on adversity and in big moments.

- How he felt like he was playing the best volleyball of his career at age 34 or 35

- The leadup to the 2012 Olympics, playing with Nick Lucena, and finishing fifth in the world and still missing out on qualifying

- The lessons he's trying to instill in his kids, and his awesome definition of what it means to have fun at practice
