Last Word on Sports XTRA and LWOS Radio is proud to present their newest podcast, “At the Net” featuring Dave Gove and Ben Kerr. In LWOS tradition we strive to bring you, our audience, the best in sports news, opinion, and analysis and do it all while also bringing on guests who are amongst the biggest names in their sport. This show, featuring Beach Volleyball is no different, digging deep into the FIVB World Tour and all things Beach.
For our debut episode, the boys are happy to be joined by one of the best Men’s beach volleyball teams in the World. Ranked 8th on tour, and number one in Canada, Ben Saxton and Chaim Schalk are making their presence known, while racking up points that will hopefully qualify them for the World Tour Finals in Fort Lauderdale and the 2016 Rio Olympics.
Schalk and Saxton join us to talk about the best result of their partnership, second place at the FIVB Grand Slam in Yokohama last month, and on their preparations for the next Grand Slam of the season, getting started next week in Long Beach. Find out what makes them a successful partnership, how they keep grounded in the moment and not look too far ahead to Rio, who their biggest rivals are on tour, how they got started in the sport, how they became partners, and what the financial challenges are for competitors on the biggest beach volleyball tour in the world.
