As the summer comes to a slow end, the Stunners see more and more of their players leaving to pursue a career overseas to chase their volleyball dreams. One of those players is 6\u20196 middle blocker, Shayne Beamer, who has been instrumental in the success of the Stunners. Shayne has had an extensive career, playing at UCSD for four years and eventually leaving to go play in England at Northumbria University. Shayne\u2019s career is now continuing overseas to Denmark where he is going to be playing for Middelfart Volleyball Klub. When asked about Middelfart Volleyball Klub, Shayne said \u201cThe team in Denmark is looking really good this year, it\u2019s a combination of old and young guys so the team will be raw but experienced.\u201d The Stunners have seen two players go to Denmark to continue their professional careers, one of them being outside hitter Louis Richards. When asked about playing against his Stunner teammate, Shayne elaborated his excitement with \u201cI can\u2019t wait to play against Louis, he\u2019s an awesome volleyball player and a great competitor and it is going to be really fun playing against him this year.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Shayne has been an excellent Stunner over the course of the past year, and shared the love he has for the Stunner team. \u201cI am so thankful the Stunners picked me up after I got from the UK, the second I stepped into the gym I felt an instant connection\u201d he said. The Stunners pride themselves on the family atmosphere that they are able to create, and Shayne loves competing with his boys, a sentiment that is felt throughout the Stunners gym. Shayne credits the Stunners for helping grow as a person and a volleyball player stating that \u201cI\u2019m certain that if I wasn\u2019t able to compete in the NVA with such high level volleyball players, I would have lost all the skills I\u2019ve worked so hard to develop.\u201d Shayne also credits his opportunity to play overseas to the Stunners saying that \u201cWithout playing in the Atlantic City tournament against high level teams like the Stingers, I wouldn\u2019t have been able to collect film and show my skills to help me get overseas and continue my career.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Continuing the conversation of continuing his career, Shayne isn\u2019t sure where he will land after this next season in Denmark. \u201cI will always be a Stunner\u201d he said. \u201cAlthough I love volleyball, I do have other loves in my life that revolve around helping people,\u201d he told us. Shayne continued to elaborate on those other passions in his life with \u201cI really want to at one point be a behavioral psychologist so I can have a positive impact on the children of the world and help make their lives easier.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
