The State Of Women In Sports
What’s your favorite sport? There are so many that showcase talent, strategy, and athleticism in spectacular fashion, and I find myself always drawn specifically to football. It’s also the favorite sport of my family, including my mom; however, where I dreamt of being a quarterback or coach as a kid, she did not. She could never see herself in the same positions I did as there was nobody that looked like her. We are in a new generation of men’s sports now, but how do women fit in? Today, we are going to sit down with a woman who has experience in the sports world to discuss the current state of women in male sports.

Pick a League, Any League
Usually to get to the NBA you have to go through College basketball to reach your goals. Recently however, other options have become increasingly more popular, with the most popular of these options being the NBA G-League and going to play overseas in other professional basketball leagues before joining the NBA. On this podcast, Mishal, Sam , and Eli talk about all of these options.
Spring Football League
On this week's episode Muf, Monty, and Eli are back to talk about football. Despite it being September the NFL is not the topic for todays podcast. This time we are actually talking about the variety of spring football leagues that have been tried out recently. Tune in this time to learn more about what happened with these leagues and learn about the possible future of spring football leagues.
Are Sports Teams Worth the Cost?
This week the “When the Lights Go Out” podcast was hosted by Monty South and co-hosted by Mishal and Muf. While not common in other areas of the world, in North America it is almost common practice for there to be a major sports team that leaves their city for a new home every few years. This difference begs the question, why is this happening? In this week's podcast, this very question, and many more, are addressed.
The Yips
This week the “When the Lights Go Out” podcast was hosted by Sam Crickey and co-hosted by Monty South. In addition, to give a more personal connection to the podcast we had a friend of the show Matt come on and talk about the subject as well. The subject of this week's podcast was that of the Yips, an interesting phenomenon in athletes who suddenly lose the ability to play at their best level.
