Radio CG 16: COVID Edition
It’s no secret that we’ve devoted a lot of airtime to politics and the (still-ongoing, it seems!) presidential election. Today, we’re going to talk about the other big thing that’s been going on for most of the year: COVID-19, and its impact on, well, everything and everyone. For those of you who don’t know, co-host Pat and his entire family came down with COVID-19 in November. They aren’t 100% sure where they were infected; suspicion rests on a board meeting his wife attended, as everyone there ended up falling ill. Pat’s daughter and 84-year-old mother were also impacted; at showtime, his mother was still in the hospital receiving oxygen (though…

We set out to discuss how losing sports affects children and how we can craft a sporting plan that keeps kids (and everyone else) safe…but as it often happens, one question led to another, and soon we were confronting some pretty tough issues.

Radio CG 2: The Covid-19 Impact – Why Kids Need Sports
There’s no question that COVID has put a damper on sports all over the country. You’ve probably seen or at least heard about how the major sporting leagues are handling the changes (and to be honest, things seem to shift on a daily basis). Something that gets left out of the chatter? Kids’ sports. Across the country (and around the world), millions an millions of children have had their beloved after-school sports ripped away. But kids need sports – what kind of impact is this going to have on them? We aren’t just talking about high school and college kids who might miss the draft, by the way. Excelling at…
