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.

In Episode #67, I have a very enlightening discussion with nineteen year old college soccer player name Jordan. First, Jordan shares what got her interested in soccer and how long she has been playing. She then discusses what kept her playing soccer versus another sport. From athletics to religion, Jordan shares her early memories of growing up in a Christian household and how that upbringing molded her. Jordan talks about who her inspiration was that encouraged her to build her own relationship with God. She offers great insight into how she is able to stay true to her faith, continue to grow in her faith all the while being a college student-athlete. Finally, Jordan offers great advice to young kids to help them with their spiritual and athletic endeavors. In the end, I offer my 'Three Takeaways."

Listen in to this very insightful and personal story.

As always, thanks for listening. Take care.
