In the beach volleyball video below, filmed in Hermosa Beach,...

Some people chalk this up to getting older, but we believe that people should move pain-free regardless of age.

It comes as no surprise that amateur, competitive, elite, and professional athletes alike are turning to CBD to help them recover better, faster, and ultimately enhance their performance. Physical training can be extremely taxing on the body, especially when done for...

Sarah Sponcil is going to be one of those names you hear in sports for a long, long time. She's the rare kind of athlete and beach volleyball player where it's all but certain that generations from now, people will still be talking about her. 

They'll be mentioning her scorpion digs, or flying squirrel digs, or saucy hand sets, or limitless grit, or goofy swagger. With good reason, too. Sponcil is a two-time National Champion out of UCLA, and she didn't even take the time to graduate before she went full-time on the FIVB Tour. Her and Kelly Claes hopped on a...

There is a common yet underrated skill that is involved in pretty much every sport you can think of -- basketball, soccer, baseball, beach volleyball, indoor volleyball, football, hockey, you get the point.

Baseball players stealing use jukes to fake out the pitcher. Barry Sanders was the King of the Juke during his heydey with the Lions (do yourself a...
