USA Handball Talk (Episode 45): Pitt and DC Diplomats Right Wing, Zachary Greenstein… AKA Greeny

Zach Greenstein led University of Pittsburgh to a D2 title last season and to a 5th place finish this year at College Nationals. He will be playing for the DC Diplomats at Club Nationals and for Volendam in the Netherlands next Fall. We discuss his start with handball, his upcoming European adventure and other handball topics

I sat down with Gary during the Collegiate Championships to learn more about his background and plans for the future. Here are some of the topics we discussed:

  • How he got started playing handball
  • What he likes about the culture of handball
  • His plans to play this fall for Volendam in the Netherlands
  • The challenge of learning to play with resin in Europe
  • How stateside Americans lack handball experience relative to their age when compared to athletes playing handball overseas. And, the need for clubs and national team coaches to weigh their future potential differently.

If you have any suggestions for future topics that you would like us to consider please let us know on social media.
