Awesome podcast! This goes deep into the mindset, strategies, and techniques that make athletes great at their sport. A lot can be learned from this show. I enjoyed episode #50 with Woody.

My go-to sports podcast!

11/30/-0001
So... admittedly I've always had a hard time getting into sports but feel so left out in sports convos. This show puts a unique spin on sports by making sports more relevant to my daily life and now for the FIRST time ever, I can join sports convos! I wasn't expectign to like sports as much as I do now, so thanks Rich!

The BEST Take on Sports Around:)

11/30/-0001
I mainly consume sports through "30 for 30" documentaries because I LOVE a good story. That's why I love Rich's take on sports in his outstanding podcast. There is a reason we are so captivated by our favorite team and high stakes games and great sports rivals. These kinds of narratives have the power to bring people together and form lasting bonds. My brother is a recent Clemson grad and I had the pleasure of going to a game during their championship season. It's a memory my brother and I will never forget. I was so excited to hear Tim Bourret's discussion. I can't wait to glean more insight from Rich and his stellar lineup of guests!

Great Conversational Content

Rich does a great job of talking to me as if he and I were sitting down to discuss an upcoming game. Kick back, have your drink of choice, and give Rich a listen.

Sports Nut? Here's your podcast!

11/30/-0001
You're either a sports nut or you're not. You know who you are – don't deny it. Now, I know you probably consume lots of sports content already, but you're going to need to make some room for this gem of a show. You can thank me later.
