Karch Kiraly

... at Pan Am Cup.

And then, and then the next summer we come back and it's a new quad, Karch has taken over and, and most people, you kinda have like the veterans and then you have, you have a bunch of people who are on like a month-long kinda tryout process, and then a lot of people who are on like a two-week tryout process.

Hmm.

And somehow I'm up in the veteran group because I was there the summer be- and I've just made the national team, and I was like, "I don't think anybody noticed that I just got here and stayed and never actually tried out for anything." And so yeah, it's like maybe if I had just been a setter or just been an outside, I would've made the national team.

I'm so glad we got to like share that because I told you I was personally inspired by that because I was a ball boy.

I was a ball boy for Karch.

And you know, and Karch is my favorite player of all time for beach volleyball.

And he was so focused.

He didn't do any of that.

Right, right.

Karch with his pink hat and, and his just focus-

Right

... uh, was very charismatic.

There was one time, too, in Chicago where Rosie goes up, and he's going, he's, like, pointed this way towards the line and then in midair just changes direction while he's in flight and hammers it the other dir- And, and I'm, like, looking around at everybody and go, "Did you see that? Did you see that? Did you see that? Did you see that?"

[laughs]

I, [laughs] you know, was like, "Wow." And then one time in that same Chicago tournament, Karch one-arm stab behind the end line, gets the ball up to Lambert all the way at the net-

Oh, man

I don't think a s- a men's...

Maybe Karch and Kent did it, but Phil Dalhausser never won all, every single domestic tournament he played in a season.

Granted, there was only four.

Uh, but still, if he had never won all, all of them, a- has anybody ever done it? Maybe.

I got some awesome videos.

These go along with reading, right? And the first one comes from Karch Kiraly, and his video-

He knows a little bit about volleyball.

Yes.
