This episode of SANDCAST: Beach Volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter, features Jaden Whitmarsh, a court two defender for UCLA and one of the most clutch players in NCAA Beach Volleyball. She is also, as you may be able to gather from her last name, the daughter of Mike Whitmarsh, the 1996 silver medalist at the Atlanta Olympics. We chatted about her family, as well as:

• What it was like growing up in San Diego, one of the most competitive cities in the country for grassroots – and all levels, really – volleyball, both indoors and on the beach

And, as always, much, much more.

SHOOTS!
