Beyond The Lines

Beyond The Lines examines and discusses how sports and life issues intersect in the lives of our youth athletes. We, as adults, parents and coaches, look at our youth as the voice and leaders of our future, but we rarely listen to them or even give them a platform to express themselves. Sports and life issues go hand-in-hand. They both compliment each other. They both enable our youth to become those leaders that we want and expect them to become. Beyond The Lines will be the platform to discuss the wide range of sports and life issues. You will hear from various guests, including youth athletes themselves. It's more than scores and highlights. Beyond The Lines is about educating and informing with the focus on our youth.

Dealing with tragedy and loss

December 20, 2022 • Jason Davis • Episode 54

Here, in Episode #54, my guest is the owner of Cohesive Counseling Associates in Charlotte, and the author of several books, including Blessed Passenger and Your Invitation to Self-Care, Dr. Melissa Tate-Scruse. In the wake of the University of Virgina and the University of Idaho tragedies, Dr. Tate-Scruse and I discuss how those two universities, and the surrounding communities, deal with those tragedies. We discuss the available resources and services that are available to, not only those associated with the universities, but the community at-large, to help cope. Dr. Tate-Scruse and I discuss the impact the University of Virginia case had and will continue to have on the sports world given those victims were athletes.

Dr. Tate-Scruse offers her always great professional insight, knowledge and advice to help those who may need assistance dealing with any kind of tragedy and/or loss. In the end, I offer my 'Three Takeaways' to help anyone in need of assistance.

As always, thanks for listening, take care.
