Dan Fisher: The High-Standards Blueprint of a Volleyball Dynasty
6/17/202654 min
Welcome back to SANDCAST: Beach Volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter, where we get off the sand for a second and delve into the world of NCAA Indoor Volleyball, chatting with Dan Fisher, the architect of the Pitt Volleyball dynasty that has won 7 ACC Championships in the past 9 years, made five straight final fours, and has won 82% of the matches since Fisher became the head coach.
How'd he do it?
Through high standards, and a culture that is constantly winning.
We're chatting:
- What makes Pitt Volleyball different, allowing it to win at such an exceptional rate
- How Dan Fisher has reframed failure, and how they practice winning, constantly
- Beach volleyball's influence on the Pitt Volleyball team
- How the city of Pittsburgh has come to adopt its volleyball team

Let's talk about Peyronie's disease, or PD. It's not widely talked about, and some men may feel reluctant to bring it up, but it's more common than you'd think. PD can happen when scar tissue builds up under the skin of the penis, causing a curve with a bump during an erection that, for some men, may lead to pain during intimacy and impact mental health. A trusted urology specialist can help diagnose PD and walk you through your options, including non-surgical treatment. Visit talkaboutpd.com.
