My main goal in life is to be recognized for my intellect rather than my physical abilities; for it is not the closet that concerns me, but rather the skeletons themselves.

From my 7th Grade Social Studies teacher to one of the most important men in my life, this man saved me from a lot of worst thoughts and fears! Throughout my lacrosse career, Mr. Sparks stayed in touch with me and I made it a point to see him whenever I came home to visit. A lot has changed since 7th grade and in the episode we do a quick recap of the last 17 years to where we are today. We address the #BlackLivesMatter Movement, athlete activism, and a new topic of serious consideration, a revised version of the American Textbook! I encourage all of my new activists to listen to his unique perspective on where he sees US as a country headed and how we can use the current state in society as a springboard to true CHANGE!

“Me and Marty”
Hello beautiful people! It’s been too long since I’ve recorded an episode. Unfortunately I was tending to my ailing father who recently passed away, but it was just his time to go and he is in a much better place now. Now to business! In the episode, I speak with a good friend of mine and former professional teammate, Martin Bowes. Martin is an indefinitely retired (concussions) lacrosse player but has stayed active in the lacrosse world through training young athletes at his facility and online. We take an in-depth look into the “Black Lives Matter” movement and the next step for the game of lacrosse as well as how activism will form the next generation. This is a can’t miss conversation. I hope that the lacrosse world gives a serious listen! It’s nice to be back, please TUNE IN!

“Pressure Busts Pipes:” Athletes’ Battle with Anxiety
NEWS FLASH: Athletes are NOT robots! They have feelings like normal human beings. The stressors of your “9 to 5” job differ depending on the occupation; and more importantly, the levels of stress. Although shooting a basketball, or throwing a football are activities we may have all enjoyed as kids, the stakes grow with every DOLLAR you make doing so. In this episode, I discuss some of the more notable cases of athletes sharing their battles with anxiety, depression, and coping with stress in their respective jobs. Fans of the world, Just remember: The game you pay a ticket to see, isn’t as easy WE (athletes) make it seem, nor as simple to perform as YOU believe it appears. ENJOY!
