Newton's Laws of Sports Christian Newton

The second part of my conversation with Yordan continues. Yordan talks about interning for the Highland Street Foundation, working for the Boston Celtics, beating Kyrie Irving in 1-on-1 (?), and working for the New England Revolution. In this episode, we chose to not just stick to sports and have an open discussion on the social justice movement. Jim Valvano said if you laugh, cry, and think, you will have a heck of a day. We did two of the three in this impactful episode. 

Yordan Villalon and I had a great conversation on wide-ranging topics. For part I, Yordan talks about growing up in Miami, the sports scene in Miami, attending Morehouse College a.k.a. "Black Harvard," transferring to Lasell College, acclimating to a new environment, playing college basketball, and viewing the game of basketball as a coach. Part II of our conversation will drop Wednesday, August 19. 

I have a conversation with Kelsey Hagan, graduate assistant for Clemson University athletics. We discuss youth sports participation, her brief college athletics playing career, working event staff, women's hockey, internship for the GNAC, working for the SCAC, and her experiences at Clemson. 

Tommie and I discuss the sports scene in Seattle, college experience, interning at a Boston sports radio station, and current job with the Las Vegas Aviators. 

I have a conversation with Austin Preparatory School's Director of Athletics and Summer Programs. Pat discusses his family's influence in sports, college baseball, teaching at Malden Catholic, his time as athletic director at Malden Catholic, coming back to Austin Prep, and leading an athletic department during the COVID-19 pandemic.
