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.

February 28, 2023 • Jason Davis • Episode 59

In Episode #59, I have a discussion with 12 year old hockey player, Liam. We talk about hockey, but more specifically his position as a Right Defenseman. First, Liam shares how long he's been playing hockey and what got him interested. Liam also discusses what he likes about playing hockey and what things he doesn't like about playing Right Defenseman. He further explains the basics of hockey and the best way for non-hockey fans to understand the sport. Liam discusses then skill set a player must have in order to play hockey and the best way to learn to actually play the sport. Liam shares who his favorite player and team is, and the one player that he would love to spend a week with learning all about hockey. In the end, Liam offers his advice to any young kid who's considering playing hockey.
