Todd Rogers, Mark Fishman, John Kessel & Joe Rich are American volleyball coaches whose pedigree extends to the highest level of juniors, NCAA, professional indoor and beach volleyball, and the Olympic games (with Rogers winning a gold medal as a player). They are also the founders (and current board members) of "Beach Nation" - dedicated to teaching beach volleyball in a inclusive environment using their own curriculum, one developed by teachers, Olympians, US National Team coaches in a way where they prioritized teaching skill development and not just using drills to teach.
NOTE: A little correction - Mark Fishman wanted to give credit and thanks to Trevor Regan (whom he called "Trevor Noah"). Easy fix.
