Feel The Teal

Season 2, Episode 1 of Feel the Teal kicks off with introducing our Senior Athletes of the Year. They both speak about their experiences playing sports at Canyon Springs along with how it felt to be selected as Athletes of the Year.

Episode 11 of Feel the Teal features our new Football coach, Coach McFadden. In this episode we talk playoff results, summer practices and tryouts, how to register for summer participation, we talk about Canyon Springs Football moving forward and the importance of a year around program in high school athletics and just how exactly one goes about managing the time it takes to implement such a thing. 

In Episode 9 I come on after being absent for quite some time to give an update of Athletics at Canyon Springs and In California. I talk about some of our teams, about spectator policy and capacity limits, about indoor sports, and about construction and facility updates. We hope to be back to releasing episodes bi-weekly with guest coaches, ADs, Athletic Trainers, student-athletes, and more! 

In Episode 8 of Feel the Teal we talk Cross Country Competitions! We bring on Greg and Eric Zomalt who were two of the original Canyon Springs athletes who really led Canyon Springs Athletics towards success. They talk about their experiences at Canyon Springs. They talk about their 1988 CIF football championship (the first of the schools history). They also mention some of the other contributors to the history that is Canyon Springs. They touch on their coaching careers, which were and have been highly successful. Listen to two collegiate scholarship athletes who will have their names cemented in the Canyon Springs Hall of Fame and who now play pivotal roles in athletics at Orange Vista High School.

In Episode 7 I discuss the lifting of the stay at home order and the #LetThemPlayCA movement. I bring on Coach Landon Cardenas and we talk about what it was like transitioning from an assistant coach to a head coach. I record from my office for the first time and custodians pop in. We then talk about memories of coaching together, we talk about the value of reflection, and our strange pre-game rituals. We explore e-Sports as much as we can as we wouldn't classify ourselves as "gamers". We end with the Cougar 2 minute drill.

On Episode 0.5 of Feel the Teal we take a cursory look at guidelines for youth sports released by the California Department of Public on December 14th. We discuss how it may affect the high school sport seasons (but keep in mind things are changing everyday, and our counties and school districts will be following all health guidance as it is released and assessed). We interview guest coach, Coach Nuner, from Glendora High School about his experiences in two very different CIFSS Championship basketball games and we talk about about how he is attacking this upcoming basketball season in the midst of a pandemic. We find out that if he were a sandwich he'd be a turkey sandwich and that bagging groceries requires some tough skin. 

Athletic Director, Justin Remington, introduces himself and talks about the 5 Athletic Department Pillars that are at the forefront of decision making across the Athletic Department. Coach Remington touches on what to expect from future episodes such as coaches/student-athlete interviews and other topics of interest that will reveal/communicate more about Athletics at Canyon Springs High School.
