What a weekend full of sports!  The Olympics have been everything they promised for us sports addicts and I can barely pull myself away from the TV to get all the necessary things accomplished.   For the next couple of weeks (read: until the Olympics are over) I will pop in and give an update […]

Pop some popcorn and wave your American flag!  The Olympics are here! In what seems like a world gone mad we are taking a pause in the crazy to focus our attention on Paris, France and those 5 beautiful rings that unite us all.  That’s right folks, the Summer Olympics are finally here!  It’s been […]

I’m angry and I’m absolutely fed up.  There is an issue in the lives of our young people that supersedes anything else we are dealing with on a daily basis and it’s time we call out the elephant in the room and figure out what we, as individuals, as groups, and as a community are […]

The perks of being a nonprofit organization are usually more altruistic than anything else, but every now and then there are some little added bonus exceptions.  For example, last year I was able to write a grant for The EMpact One Foundation with the St. Louis Cardinals charitable giving foundation known as Cardinals Care that […]

Every 4 years the top athletes from across the United States gather to duke it out and determine the best of the best.  Days, weeks, months, and years of training all coming together for each athlete to compete for the Summer Olympic Games, also known as the Games of the Olympiad.   But, it’s not […]

Let’s go ahead and admit it.  If you aren’t guilty of actually sending it, you have at least typed out a scathing comeback, tell off narrative, review, etc. and deleted it deciding those words were better left unshared.  This week’s article is dedicated to the Keyboard Warriors.  I’m not going to sit here and say […]

As an old school baller I have to admit that it makes my heart happy to finally see the WNBA getting some attention.  There have been a long line of female Basketball athletes who have laid the foundation for the success that the ladies are enjoying today, but, until recently, the women’s professional game has […]

Being a “sports girl” I have been given the opportunity, and in my adult life created the opportunity, to travel around and do some pretty cool sporty things.  I played AAU Basketball and Travel League Softball in High School, so we were always on the go, in different states, playing in different venues and arenas.  […]
