This episode of SANDCAST features the new-look Canadian team of Sam Schachter – an Olympian at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games – and Dan Dearing. This team is going to be FREAKY athletic – and also one that’s a bit of a surprise to many.
Schachter considered retiring after falling short of the 2021 Tokyo Olympic Games; Dearing was literally retired for seven years. Now they’re back. And we chatted all about it, discussing:
– Schachter’s experience during the 2021 Tokyo Olympic quad – Dearing’s retirement, and why he is back on the Volleyball World Beach Pro Tour now
– What Dearing learned about the work ethic and commitment it takes to compete at the highest level
– Why Schachter plucked a guy seven years retired as his running mate for the 2024 Paris Olympic Games
And, as always, a whole lot more.
ENJOY!
