We had a great opportunity to interview Andrea Cadigan who has been a Patriots cheerleader for the last 4 years and a cheer captain the last two years.  Andrea had the opportunity to cheer in three consecutive Super Bowls!  She also has deep roots with the Patriots since her Grandfather was the team physician in the 70’s at the same time that her mother was a Patriots Cheerleader and her sister was a cheerleader for the Pats before her.

We talked to Andrea about the behind the scenes life as a pro cheerleader, how intense tryouts are, what kind of interactions she had with players, how she stays in top physical shape, and so much more! We also talked to Andrea a lot about her career outside of cheerleading. She is also a model and she hosts the Boston DM Show for BostonMan Magazine, This Week on Martha’s Vineyard on Comcast, and Wicked Bites on NESN, so it was interesting to hear how she balances all the aspects of her life and career.  Keep up with what Andrea is doing by following her personal Instagram @andreacadigan as well as @bostonmanmag and @wickedbites!

This is the second half of our in-depth interview with professional basketball player Mike Taylor. If you missed the first half of our interview, I highly recommend that you check it out before listening to this episode. Mike’s basketball career has been wild and extremely successful at every level! He was a top recruit coming out of high school, then he spent two seasons in junior college where he was the national junior college defensive player of the year for the best team of the nation. He spent one year making noise in the NCAA at Iowa State, then his professional career began which includes a year in the NBA, an ongoing run in the BIG3, an NBA D-League championships, and championships in leagues around the world incuding Korea, Poland, Qatar, Lebanon, among other countries.

All-time great NBA guard Tim Hardaway Sr. came on the podcast to talk about his some of his career highlights including playing on an exciting young Warriors team in the early 1990's with Mitch Richmond and Chris Mullin, building a great point guard - center duo with Alonzo Mourning in Miami, facing off against Michael Jordan's Bulls in the Eastern Conference Finals, and more!  Tim also talked about watching his Son grow into an exciting NBA player in his own right, leading to a discussion about why they stopped playing 1 on 1.

Tim was joined in this interview by Dylan Kaufman, CEO of Dream Dribble.  Tim and Dylan talked about their product Dream Silencer by Dream Dribble which is an indoor basketball training tool that allows you to practice ball handling skills while barely making a sound.  This product is perfect for anyone who wants to help their child advance their basketball skills without disturbing others in the house or neighbors with the excessive noise caused by dribbling a basketball on the ground.  Also consider the Dream Silencer if you live in a climate where playing outside is difficult during the winter.  Check out their website at the link below to learn more about Dream Silencer, find Tim's suggested ball handling drills to practice with the device, and purchase the product:

In this episode, we interview Tyler Scaturro, the brand manager for a rapidly growing sports technology company Pocket Radar!  We discuss what makes their technology more advanced than traditional radar systems, how this technology can help individual baseball players train, how the radar systems can help youth coaches,  how the advanced statistics and analytics from new technology is changing sports, and more!  Tyler is also a former college baseball player so he has great insight to how these tools can be used.  This interview was different from ones we have done in the past with pro athletes, but we thought it would be interesting to share a conversation with someone highly successful in the world of sports!  The Pocket Radar systems are used by all MLB organizations at some level as well as by pro athletes including Tom Brady for individual training.

We are very excited to present our interview with Hall of Fame NBA Player Mitch Richmond and Founder of After Sports and Entertainment Gene McClendon!  Gene joined Mitch, the Vice President of After Sports and Entertainment, to discuss what their company does to help retired athletes and entertainers coordinate events, work with their peers, and make money.  They described not only how their company can help retired atheltes and entertainers, but how it helps create fun experience for fans and businesses that hire their services!

We also talked to Mitch about his playing career including his time with the run and gun Golden State Warriors where he won Rookie of the Year, his time with the Sacramento Kings where he was a 6-time all star and 5-time All-NBA performer, his time playing on the Team USA Olympic teams, and the final season of his career when he won an NBA Championship playing for the Los Angeles Lakers alongside Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal!
