#3 Amateur To Pro In 3 Days

Team Canada setter Max Elgert hops on the Between Sets Podcast with Samson Olsen, Jakob Thelle and Eivind Hettervik! Originally from Alberta, Max has played pro in Germany, Greece and France and is now running the offence for Jastrzębie Barkom (with Jakob !) in Poland. The boys talk setter to setter about life as a pro, the technical foundation of a setter, and the big question: what’s the future for Canada’s Men’s National Team?

Two-time Olympic bronze medalist and one of the best liberos in the world, Erik Shoji, hops on the Between Sets Podcast with Samson Olsen, Jakob Thelle and Eivind Hettervik! Born and raised in Honolulu, Hawai’i, Erik went from Stanford to a long pro career across Germany, Austria, Russia, Italy, Poland and more, and he’s currently playing for Berlin Recycling Volleys in Germany. After all those years at the very top, the boys had to ask: what actually makes Erik Shoji nervous?

Today our fellow Team Norway teammate, Rune Fasteland, hopped on the pod. He's currently playing for Hokkaido Yellow Stars in Sapporo in Japan. He's also, arguably, the best goofy-footed volleyball player in the whole world. This podcast is indeed in English, even though we're all Norwegians!
