By day 6 our 12 hour shoot days were like a piece of lemon meringue pie (my fav)...and today was my first coach interview with legend in the making Brad Steven's- head coach at Butler University & assistant coach for USA's men's basketball team. Seeing that our men's basketball team had won every game by 30 points at this stage in the tournament, Brad was very confident and poised in his interview. However, he shared that his USA team was going to be challenged very soon and he they needed to continue to improve as the competition rose throughout the tournament.
After the Steven's interview we drove 2 hours to the Shenzhen coast to shoot our 4 dominating beach volleyball teams. Now this coast was breathtaking, literally- it was so hot and humid you could barely breathe and the moment you stepped out of the car, you were an instant puddle of sweat. Thankfully the scenery was gorgeous, but not ideal for on-camera work.

We ended our shoot day at the swimming arena, where team USA won a handful of medals.

But our day was not over yet. Seeing as we were pretty sick of eating the cafeteria food twice a day, we decided to play a game of charades with our Chinese driver and try our first local food spot.
Despite the grotesque menu photos, the food was surprisingly deeeelicious.
