Carly Skjodt has hit the beach full-time, and she’s here to stay

This episode of SANDCAST: Beach Volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter, features Carly Skjodt -- pronounced Scott -- one of the brightest rookies on the AVP Tour this season. An All-American and All-Big 10 outside hitter out of Michigan, Skjodt began playing beach as a graduate transfer for Pepperdine, learning under coach Marcio Sicoli. After a brief stint playing indoors in Portugal, she hit the beach, finishing her rookie season with a third in AVP Central Florida and is now ranked just one spot behind Canadian and AVP champion Melissa Humana-Paredes. On this episode, we chat about: What this rookie season looked like for Skjodt, who had a full-time job, then two part-time jobs, while competing full-time on the AVP Her transition from All-American indoor player to newbie on the beach How making the semifinals in AVP Central Florida left her only hungry for more What she loves about the beach lifestyle And, as always, much, much more.
