In this episode of Beach Secrets, DJ Klasnic welcomes professional beach volleyball player Chloe Loreen — AVP champion, Beach Pro Tour medalist, and one of the most resilient competitors on the sand.
Chloe’s 2025 season became a defining chapter in her professional career. After overcoming injuries earlier in her journey and building her foundation through college volleyball, she found herself at a crossroads — seriously considering stepping away from the sport to pursue a career as a firefighter.
Instead, the season shifted everything.
She went on to win silver at a Beach Pro Tour Challenger event, earn two 5th-place finishes at Elite 16 tournaments, and capture two AVP titles — including a major victory in Seaside. Those results reignited her belief and solidified her decision to continue pursuing beach volleyball at the highest level.
In this honest and powerful conversation, Chloe reflects on her injury history, her college career that shaped her competitive mindset, competing and medaling on the World Tour, and the moment she considered a different path. She also shares how spending summers in Alaska working as a climbing guide built resilience, independence, and perspective that now translate directly into her performance on the sand.
This episode is about perseverance, identity, and choosing to double down on your dream when the results begin to align with the work.
