Mike, Scott, and Gavin are joined by current European champion Benny Bachler to discuss the most recent tournament in Europe hosted by roundnet Spain where players from all over Europe came together to showcase their talent against some of the best on the continent as well as against some of the best worldwide with last weeks guest on the pod Mr. Buddy Hammon in attendance.
The guys also discuss the true value of defense. Should more people value getting better at defense than serving, why do many people neglect getting better at defense? Should more people elect for safe seconds, especially during pickup given this is one of the few opportunities one gets to actually practice defense?
The guys end the pod talking about premier status, how does one really get premier? What even is premier to start with? Is it a measurement of your skill level, or a measurement of how you have performed at roundnet events hosted by Spikeball?
