Devon Burki is an American Professional Beach Volleyball player and former indoor player. A standout at the juniors' level, he was recruited to play at UC Santa Barbara. Shortly after, he took his talents to the beach, winning multiple regional tournaments. His breakthrough came recently, as he and his partner, John Schwengel, won 5 straight qualifier matches to get into the main draw at the AVP/Chicago Open, a bracket that brought new meaning to the term ‘competitive.’
Tune in, as we chat up professionals staying ‘volleyball busy’ outside of the main tour, traveling to Waupaca, Atlantic City and Atlanta, the disappointment at Manhattan Beach, the nostalgia of qualifying for the open in Chicago, being coached by two great female personalities (Megan Burgdorf and Anna Collier), things we teach juniors that will help them at that level, things he felt his partner did well this season, things he would like to do better (setting his partner, serve, etc), his relationship with his father, and MORE!
