Allen/Doherty Partnership Shines on and off the Court

Pro beach volleyball players Ryan Doherty and Billy Allen have been making waves both on and off the sand. Not only are they successful partners in the world of beach volleyball, but they have also ventured into the world of writing, with each having published a book.

Doherty, known as the “Avatar” in the volleyball world, released his book “Avatar’s Guide to Beach Volleyball: Everything you need to know about the sport from the only professional player that writes” back in 2015. This comprehensive guide offers valuable insights and tips from a professional player’s perspective.

Allen, on the other hand, recently announced the upcoming release of his fantasy action novel, “Good Blood (The Descendants of Terene, Book #1).” This exciting addition to the literary world showcases Allen’s creativity and storytelling abilities.

Despite their shared passion for writing, the two athletes prefer to work on their individual projects separately. As Allen jokingly puts it, their hotel room may be quiet, but it’s not due to collaboration on their writing endeavors.

While they excel in their writing pursuits, Allen and Doherty are also determined to succeed on the court. They hope to have a breakout tournament at the FIVB Las Vegas Open, presented by p1440, where they are competing for valuable points towards Olympic qualification.

They have had multiple top-10 finishes on the World Tour and impressive top-five finishes on the AVP Tour. However, they are striving to elevate their game and become a higher caliber team.

Doherty, on the other hand, grew up playing baseball and even became the tallest player in minor league history, standing at an impressive height of 7-foot-1. His transition to beach volleyball brought him the nickname “Avatar” due to his towering presence on the court.

Both Allen and Doherty are continually working on improving their skills. Allen is focused on refining his serving technique, while Doherty is dedicated to enhancing his blocking and transition setting abilities. Their commitment to self-improvement demonstrates their determination to excel in every aspect of their game.

While the pair may have different strengths and backgrounds, their shared love for writing brings them together.
