From Washed Up to Recreation - The Story of Collegiate Recreational Sports

Whats the big deal about intramurals? Having played a few different intramural sports, I began ask: Why does everyone compete so hard? Why is this so important? Why do college students care about recreation? Well, I asked these very questions to Kevin Sneed, the Senior Director for Student Recreation Activities at Broward College in South Florida. We had a lengthy conversation about the world of Collegiate Recreation and the importance of providing recreational opportunities for college students on (and off) campus.

Pitch Please...Stories of the MLB - A Conversation with Brian Leahy

I wonder what Babe Ruth and Stan Musial would think of the MLB today... Do we think they would be proud of where the league is right now? These questions have flooded my brain recently, so I reached out to baseball expert, Brian Leahy. Brian is the director of Camp Chen-a-Wanda in Pennsylvania. CAW is a sleep-away summer camp in the Poconos, but don't get me wrong here, Brian knows ball, that is a fact. Brian is a superfan of the Dodgers, not one of those bandwagon fans, trust me.

Have you ever wondered what life is like for an executive (i.e., CEO, COO, CFO, etc.)? Well, I have always been curious as to what exactly do executives...do. Sure, we understand that executives are the leaders of the organization, but what does their daily life look like? My curiosity landed me to a conversation with Ella Chan, the COO of Pedalheads.

Season 1 Recap - A Years Worth of Stories

Thank you for listening to a FULL YEAR of SportStories The Podcast. The journey has been challenging over this last year. We transitioned from audio-only to providing video and also underwent a branding change. The podcast initially began as "Rebuilding the Ivory Tower: Perspectives on Sport in Society", whew. Realizing now, this name was WAY too long. Also, nobody knows what the "ivory Tower" is and what am I "rebuilding"? Given these concerns, I changed the platform to SportStories The Podcast, with the goal of sharing unique stories that we have with Sports. I hope you enjoy the recap of this years' episodes! Stay tuned for some great episodes in Season 2. [Disclaimer: The opinions in this episode are of my own accord and DO NOT reflect the opinions of any respective organization or institution.]
