This Quick Set episode of SANDCAST is with our good friend, Terese Cannon (also known as Tereats Cannon, but that’s another story for another day).
It was exactly one year ago that Terese was beginning a brutal losing streak of six consecutive country quota losses in, of all places, Mexico. Now? She’s back in Mexico, competing in the Tlaxcala Challenger, partnered with Sarah Sponcil, one of the best defenders in the United States, and is the NUMBER ONE SEED in the Tlaxcala Challenger!
We love Terese Cannon. And we’re rooting hard for her. For our full episode with Terese: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcVFh…

Author, journalist, podcast host, and broadcaster, Travis Mewhirter has written 4 number-one bestsellers — including Kings of Summer: The Rise of Beach Volleyball, alongside Olympic gold medalist Kent Steffes. He has also written award-winning features, including a package at the Northwest Florida Daily News that earned him Sports Writer of the Year, and a heartfelt story on the late Eric Zaun in Volleyball Magazine, which was an honorable mention in the 2020 Best American Sportswriting.
Following the passing of Eric Zaun, Mewhirter, alongside Jon Mesko and Katie Spieler, founded the Eric Zaun Award, which has raised more than 25 thousand to fund beach volleyball players.
Mewhirter now devotes most of his time to playing and covering beach volleyball, via his podcast: SANDCAST: Beach Volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter, as well as writing for Volleyball Magazine and commentating on Volleyball TV. Mewhirter and Bourne have written two books together: Volleyball for Milkshakes, and Playbook of Champions, both of which were number-one best-sellers.
