The 2025 Men’s Beach Pro Tour Offensive Player of the Year is Anders Mol
Honorable Mention
- David Ahman, Sweden
- Cherif Younousse, Qatar
- Jacob Holting-Nilsson, Sweden
One of the most inconvenient aspects of Anders Mol winning the Offensive Player of the Year? Finding a picture of him…on offense.
Try for yourself. The only photos you’ll find of Mol are of him serving, celebrating, or blocking — because nobody in their right mind willingly gives him the ball. He received only 488 total serves this year, just 25 percent of Norway’s total offense.
Why?
Because he sided out on 72 percent of those opportunities, and added another 61 percent in transition. This compared to his opponents’ 62 percent sideout rate and a paltry 40 percent transition rate. Of those side outs, 64 percent came on the first ball — a full 14 percent higher than his opponents.
How did those numbers compare to the final nominees for this award?
Mol was two percent better in sideout than David Ahman, and 16 percent more efficient in transition.
Cherif Younousse actually led the Beach Pro Tour in sideout percent at 78 — but was 12 percent lower in transition than Mol.
Jacob Holting-Nilsson finished 69 percent in sideout and 56 percent in transition, both lower than Mol’s totals.
