In this episode of GRIT, Victoria sits down with Chris Parish, founder of Poney, to discuss how the platform is helping coaches and instructors simplify scheduling, payments, and client communication.

**Stop chasing Venmos. Stop juggling texts. Just coach.**

Built for the instructor, not the studio, Poney brings calendars, bookings, and payments together in one easy-to-use platform. Coaches can share one link with clients—no app to download and no account to create.

Poney syncs with your personal calendar, organizes payments, and allows instructors to walk into each session already knowing who is coming and who has paid.

There is no upfront cost or subscription, and coaches remain in control of setting their own prices.

Chris shares why he created Poney, how it supports both coaches and clients, and how the platform allows instructors to spend less time on administrative work and more time doing what they love—coaching.

GRIT went on location to Mesa, Arizona, for the p1440 Elite Development Summit, where athletes, coaches, and industry leaders came together to help shape the future of beach volleyball.

Hosted by Victoria Dennis, this episode takes you inside one of the premier development events in the sport. Victoria sat down with p1440 coaches and athletes to learn what makes the program unique and how it's helping develop the next generation of beach volleyball players both on and off the sand.

Beyond technical skills and competition, p1440 is committed to developing the whole athlete. Participants gain exposure to leadership training, mental performance coaching, recovery strategies, nutrition education, recruiting guidance, and opportunities to connect with coaches and peers from across the country.

During the summit, Victoria also led a media training workshop, helping athletes develop confidence and communication skills in front of the camera. The following day, those athletes put their training into practice during professional interviews with Victoria and the GRIT production crew.

In this episode, we explore how p1440 is helping athletes navigate the increasingly competitive landscape of beach volleyball, creating pathways from youth development to college recruiting and beyond.

Whether you're an athlete, parent, coach, or fan of the game, this conversation offers an inside look at the people and programs helping grow the future of beach volleyball.
