Listen Later

This episode of SANDCAST: Beach Volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter, features Melissa Humana-Paredes, who won an Olympic silver medal – Canada’s first on the women’s side – with Brandie Wilkerson in Paris this summer. It has been quite the whirlwind of a fall and winter for Humana-Paredes, who went straight into the inaugural AVP League for the Palm Beach Passion and then competed in the Beach Pro Tour Finals. Having had time to reflect, Humana-Paredes, Bourne and Pod Mama Gabby Bourne chat about:

  • How different – if at all – Mel’s life would be if she and Wilkerson won gold as opposed to silver
  • The highs and lows of having a life revolving around competition
  • How finding happiness should not be contingent on external achievements.
  • And much, much more. Gabby absolutely shines in her debut as a guest-host (and soon to be mother of two!
