TORONTO - Josh Binstock had his eye on Sam Schachter for some time, believing the rising young player might be the missing ingredient for Olympic success.Beach volleyball can be a cutthroat business, and when the timing was right, Binstock made the call.Sam was on my radar because he won world championships as a junior, Binstock said. I dont think anyone from Canada has ever done that before, so I knew he had the potential. I was just waiting until I thought he had the potential to turn that into the senior level. And then as soon as I saw it, I made the decision to — I guess dump is the word — to end my partnership.Binstock and former partner Martin Reader finished 17th at the London Olympics and split after the Games. Binstock went on to play with two more partners before teaming up with Schachter.Then it became a running joke, You cant stick with anybody, youre all over the place, Binstock said with a laugh.Its tough, though, because youre really good friends with the people here (in the sport), he added. Its tough because its business but there is a personal element to it. You get over it, its nothing personal in terms of the friendship. Its just a business decision and I thought my chances were best with him, so thats how it happened.Binstock and Schachter teamed up just over a year ago, and have already found success on the international circuit, winning an FIVB World Tour event in Argentina in November — Canadas first victory since John Child and Mark Heese stepped atop a podium back in 1996.The two now have their sights set on qualifying for the Pan American Games in Toronto and then next years Olympics in Rio. Canada can only send one mens and one womens duo to each.Schachter has never been to an Olympics. For Binstock, Rio is unfinished business.(Before competing in London) I thought, Oh, I made the culmination of the epicness of what my sport is, which is the Olympics. I thought Id be satisfied with that, Binstock said. But leaving London I definitely wasnt. I told my parents, You know what? I am going to go again. They were like, What are you talking about? I thought you were actually going to get a real job. Theyre super supportive because they know that I usually have a good instinct.Binstock told his parents to give him a year playing with Schachter and they would see the reason for his Olympic optimism. They see it now, he said.Canadas national mens and womens beach teams are in town this week for a camp. Sitting at the squads training facility just north of downtown Toronto, a stones throw from Toronto FCs training grounds, Binstock and Schachter joked Thursday about their maturing relationship. If it resembles a marriage, its a happy one.Youre with each other travelling the world every day, eating, sleeping in the same room, so theres not really alone time, Binstock said. So you really need to get along with your partner, or things off the court can start manifesting on the court.We have other people on our support team that help facilitate these kinds of conversations, because when you first get together with somebody you want to make it all nice but sometimes stuff gets real, and youve got to make sure people dont take the real stuff personally. Its a maturing process ... so being able to have those conversations really strengthen our friendship I guess.Schachter remembers the night Binstock called him on the phone to talk about teaming up.He said he was interested in playing with me, and I cheered, Schachter said. Im pretty sure I gave a good jump ... I think when I hung up I did a couple fist pumps.At 34, Binstock is 10 years older than Schachter. Binstock is also a chiropractor.My other career, chiropractic, Im like the young guy and then with (the volleyball players) Im the old guy, so Im hanging with two extreme ages, said Binstock. It keeps me young, and I have to stay hip.Binstock and Schachter, who are both from Richmond Hill, Ont., complement each other well on the sand court. As the elder player, Binstocks strengths are about strategy, making adjustments on the fly, and developing and implementing gameplans.Growing up in the sport 10 years after Binstock, Schachter was able to capitalize on a beach volleyball coaching structure that wasnt in place when Binstock was young.I grew up in the more structured development system, where I know a lot technically whereas Josh didnt have that teaching when he was younger, so I can kind of contribute that way, Schachter said. Its just different.Their stiffest competition for spots on the Pan Am Games and Olympic teams is Ben Saxton and Chaim Schalk.Theyre a few spots ahead of us in the world rankings, but it should be between us, Schachter said.The two are optimistic, and point to their room for improvement.Usually teams play at least a quad, like four years beforehand, because thats how long it takes to develop that (chemistry), Binstock said. Back when we first got together we were kind of underachieving for our standards, and then it was like we had an exponential growth, instead of just a consistent thing. So were definitely still learning with each other. Will Dissly Seahawks Jersey .

Thats all I can say. Everybody upstairs has been extremely supportive of the way were handling things.Our team has been unbelievably compliant in doing everything that we, as coaches, and myself have asked them to do. Thats evident on the field. Its evident in the locker room.Trestman said he sees no drop in effort during practices or meetings.What we havent seen is the production on Sundays, he said.Bears coaches spent a week self-scouting to pinpoint flaws after giving players off Tuesday through Sunday during the bye.I think that it came down to a number of things, Trestman said. It comes down to play selection. It comes down mental errors. It comes down to penalties. It comes down to those things that really are the result of things that you can control.Thats what we have to assess in our assessment — what are the things that we can control to be more consistent. Theres a litany of things. I gave you just a few that every team has to do well for them to start faster.In last place in the NFC North and three games behind the Detroit Lions, the Bears have played only one division game and lost 38-17 to Green Bay.Everything that we want is still ahead of us, safety Ryan Mundy said. Coach Trestman pointed out two examples of teams who were at similar starts as us.In 2012, the Redskins, I believe started out 3-6 and won their division. And then last year, the Eagles started out 3-5 and ended up winning their division. We have a lot of football left and every game is a critical game for us right now. Theyre all NFC opponents and theyre all division games, so theyre all must wins for us.The Bears also have five of their final seveen games at home, although that hasnt been a positive this season as theyre 0-3 in Soldier Field.ddddddddddddGetting players back healthy could benefit them.Linebacker Lance Briggs is expected back from a rib injury after missing three straight starts. Safety Chris Conte had a week off after suffering through shoulder sprains and concussions in the first half. And rookie cornerback Kyle Fuller had a week off to rest three injuries, including a broken hand.The offence will go into the workweek trying to decide on a replacement for injured left guard Matt Slauson, who went on injured reserve. Michael Ola appears to be the candidate of choice at this point. Theyve also considered moving right tackle Jared Mills to left guard, but Ola played the last game at left guard after Slausons season-ending pectoral injury.The defence sees a need to become more physical, with Briggs and the entire linebacker group expected back after the top four linebackers were out at one point in the first half.Weve got to outhit our opponents and weve got to do that for however long that game goes, Young said.Trestman called Briggs a key to the defence recovering after giving up 51 points to New England in the previous game. Briggs normally calls defensive signals and changes.We want him to bring his best, Trestman said. Having him out there being the vocal, the leader part of it is certainly a huge part of it, getting people lined up, and then just playing as hard and as fast as hes capable of playing, as he did when we started the season.NOTES: Defensive end David Bass was promoted from the practice squad to the 53-man roster to replace defensive end Lamarr Houston, who went on injured reserve due to a ruptured anterior cruciate knee ligament suffered in a post-sack celebration. Bass has 20 1/2 tackles, a sack and 2 1/2 tackles for loss in his two-year NFL career. ...
