Episode 177 - Carlos Jimenez and Tyler Penberthy

Carlos Jimenez and Tyler Penberthy are American professional beach volleyball players. Carlos is the son on a collegiate coach and former player of the same name. Tyler, hailing from Buffalo, is a super-athlete that caught onto the beach scene later than most. The Floridian and New Yorker made a splash last season, making the AVP main draw multiple times and competing at the highest level, domestically. As good as their game is, it may well pale in comparison to their personalities, their approaches in life and their critical thinking skills and how they apply it to everything. Certainly an interesting two. 01:09 - We win or we learn 11:31 - Different courts, different feel, Hard-top, Beach, Grass, 9-man 20:10 - Finding a sense of volleyball community 25:26 - Player of the year discussions, talent boom periods 33:11 - Instigating change, individually and collectively 49:42 - Favorite Venues 59:56 - The big tests at Manhattan Beach, Waupaca, and other 1:10:10 - Big up to our referees 1:22:12 - Favorite player you emulate or grew up watching 1:32:35 - Where you got better, and where do you go from here? 1:44:44 - Lightning Rounds
