  • Pro Beach Brothers in Arms
    Pro Beach Brothers in Arms 20 digbeachvolleyball.com | 2020 #1 Brothers in Arms In the long lineage of notable sibling beach teams, teenagers Marcus and Miles Partain are up there with the best hen it comes to discussing the greatest brother combinations in beach volleyball history, much of the oxygen in the room gets sucked up by the Crabb brothers. And rightfully so. They keep adding to their resumes with significant honors – most recently, Taylor’s 4-Star FIVB tournament with Jake Gibb (November in Chetumal,W Mexico) and Trevor’s sublime triumph at the Manhattan Beach Open last August. But while Taylor and Trevor won a few NORCECAs playing together, they could never capture an AVP or FIVB title, which, in part, led them to seek different partners. The Crabbs are not the only elite brother combo (see page 22) to seek the pro beach volleyball limelight. In fact, the most intriguing set of siblings may be the Partains, 19-year-old Marcus and 18-year-old Miles. Together, they were the youngest team to make an AVP main draw, which they achieved in Hermosa Beach, California, in July of 2017. Separately, Miles, at 15 years and seven I do (get excited when Miles months, became the youngest individual to ever make an AVP main draw. “ But it wasn’t until this past fall that Miles really broke out. He finished fifth in a fully loaded plays well). Regardless of AVP Chicago event with Paul Lotman, who at the time was twice as old as his precocious partner. Nevertheless, Miles’ poise under fire was truly exceptional.

    ERFORMANCE P VOLLEYBALL CONDITIONING ANEWSLETTER DEDICATED TO IMPROVING VOLLEYBALL PLAYERS www.performancecondition.com/volleyball Olympic Gold Medal Preparation for Beach Volleyball: The Phil Dalhausser and Todd Rogers Program Bob Alejo, C.S.C.S., Beach Volleyball Personal Conditioning Coach Bob Alejo is no stranger to conditioning volleyball players. He has trained Liz Masakayan, Holly McPeak and Kent Steffes and is currently the Beach Volleyball Personal Strength and Conditioning Coach for Phil Dalhausser and Todd Rogers. In addition to his vol- leyball experience, Bob is Director of Strength and Conditioning for the Oakland Athletics Major League Baseball team. n 2005 Phil Dalhausser could not get into a 30-degree squatting position. He was BEG weak and inflexible. We started dead lifting out of a power rack because he was so INT inflexible we could not put the bar on the ground to do the lift properly. Over the ADV course of time he can now do heal to butt defensive stance digging balls everywhere. Not only is he a dominant offensive power but also has turned into one of the best defensiveI players in the game. We've done it periodized with basic movements-nothing "Star Wars" at all. We pull it off the ground- we press it, snatch it integrating joint stability with a lit- tle core work, very simple and all injury free! Being in Beijing and witnessing the Gold Medal victory of Phil Dalhausser and Todd Rogers was a great experience. Beach training for volleyball has its own unique characteristics and I get asked questions about how best to train beach players.

After winning six gold medals in 2008 with Salgado, Harley ended the campaign capturing the season-ending event in Sanya with Benjamin Insfran. “It is always an honor to be recognized as the top player,” said the 34-year old Harley. “This honor helps in easing my failure with Pedro to qualify for the Olympics. However, we did accomplish a lot in winning six events together this season to finish as the top team on the SWATCH tour.
