Description

This episode of SANDCAST: Beach volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter, features University of Hawai'i assistant coach Evan Silberstein. 
Silberstein is a New York native turned full-blown Hawai'ian. He has been the assistant at Hawai'i for six years now, helping the Bows become one of the perennial powers in NCAA volleyball. 
In this episode, we cover:
- How Silberstein came to Hawai'i from, of all places, New York City. 
- How he left his own law practice on the Island to take a volunteer position at the University of San Francisco
- Taking his dream job at the University of Hawai'i, and how different that dream is from his initial dream of practicing law for a living. 
- The art and importance of developing rapport with his athletes. Indeed, it was Silberstein who drove a van nicknamed the "Vegan Vaagen" at Hawai'i, ensuring all of the more dietary conscious athletes got their needs fulfilled. 
- Why AVP Hawai'i is generally devoid of fans despite such a rich beach volleyball culture. 
- What the NCAA beach volleyball scene will look like following Covid-19.
