Theo Brunner almost gave up volleyball before he ever really got started playing on the AVP Tour. Now, he's one of the top blockers on the AVP Tour and making a name for himself on the FIVB Tour, with his recent partnership formation with Olympian Casey Patterson. On the podcast, Brunner and Travis Mewhirter will talk about his journey through volleyball:- Being recruited to UC Santa Barbara off of nothing but a basketball highlight tape. - Playing for and with beach volleyball legend Todd Rogers. - The difficulties of making a living in beach volleyball. - His future aspirations for the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games.
