Over Pretty Pitches

The grass isn’t greener in the girls soccer season, actually it’s dead. Girls’ and women’s sports get a bad rap before the first whistle is ever blown. Inadequate coverage, poor funding, lack of interest and gross inequalities surround the world of women’s sports. Join Pretty Pitches host Paige Feikert as she meets with athletes, coaches, organizers, experts and others to tackle the issues in the world of sports in hopes to change the conversation around women’s sports.

When Are You Gonna Do Something? with Bob Lutz

Ask any athlete or Wichita Eagle reader from the last several decades, and they'll know Bob Lutz well. After making a name for himself as a sports journalist, Bob became a sports columnist for The Eagle in the 1990's and wrote columns over some of the top sports stories from around the world, but particularly those in our own backyard. Following his storied journalism career, Bob now dedicates most of his time to what he calls his "second act," a program called League 42 that is dedicated to bringing the game of baseball to inner city kids. From the initial meeting including Bob and 4 other people, the league has grown to now serving 600 kids. The motivation behind League 42, how you can get involved, and the question everyone wants answered -- how does Bob Lutz deal with haters -- all on this episode of Pretty Pitches. Follow League 42 on Twitter @League_42, Instagram @league42ict and Facebook @League 42. You can find out more information at: https://league42.org/

As a Woman of Color You Have to Be Twice As Everything with Sarah Lopez-Lewis

We are changing it up a bit this week, and talking women in politics, but we are also talking women's sports, as this week's guest is Sedgwick County Commissioner Sarah Lopez-Lewis. After a successful career in healthcare, Sarah was inspired to run for the Sedgwick County Board of Commissioners after fighting for a safe space for her daughter in local schools. She's a fierce advocate for her kids, all kids, women and people of color, particularly those in the Hispanic community. She's also no stranger to sports, as she played soccer growing up and now cheers on her daughters, one on the soccer field, the other in the pool, and her son on the football field. How she was inspired to run for local government, her take on leading the way for the next generation and more all on this week's episode.

The Next Official May Be Sitting in the Office Next to You with Francine Martin

Officiating might just be the hardest position on any field, court or arena. Across the country, thousands of officials have walked away from the games they love, including hundreds in the state of Kansas alone. Many officials site poor interactions with fans as a reason for leaving, many detailing incidents of abuse. Abuse against officials has become such a problem that the Kansas House Committee of Education even drafted and proposed a bill earlier this year to make any form of verbal or physical abuse against officials a Class B misdemeanor, carrying a fine and jail time. But there are also joys involved with officiating, like being part of a team, staying close to the games you love and giving back to kids by allowing them to play the games you love. Francine Martin is working to both end abuse towards officials, while encouraging officials to lean in to the love of the game and give officiating a try.
