To the casual beach volleyball fan, coach Dane Selznick was lost in the spotlight of Misty May and Kerri Walsh’s historic gold medal performance at the 2004 Olympic Games last summer in Athens, Greece. But May and Walsh would be the first ones to tell you that Selznick played a huge role not only in their Athens glory but in all of their success in the time leading up to Athens. In addition to the Olympics, the dynamic duo won 10 other tournaments during the year along with a second-place finish (injury forfeit) and a third-place result. Together they posted a season match record of 70-5 (four of the losses were forfeits) and won 141-of-153 sets played (eight forfeits). When May was sidelined by an injury, Selznick helped Walsh and Rachel Wacholder capture the FIVB Austrian Grand Slam with a perfect 6-0 record. On the men’s side, Selznick ... coached budding beach stars Casey Jennings, Matt Fuerbringer, Jason Ring, George Roumain, John Hyden and Sean Scott, among others.
