Find out my role as you listen to the episode. Born in the same neighborhood that I grew up in, Coach Brown look back at the not so mean street of St. Lous and how they shaped and influenced us. Having some of the same mentors many years apart only show similar our lives were. Coach Brown journey took him from being a state champion to a college star, only to return where it all it began. Like welcome back Carter or the White Shadow or in his case the Black Shadow. We discuss his very early success as a coach only to followed up the next season with his worst year as a coach. Coach gives us insights into what he learned from those two year. Coach Brown continued to climb the ladder and became an administrator.

With the advent of the new George Forman movie, it got me to thinking about how all re-create ourselves over the years. Then it made me want to reach out to my old college roomie Alan "Link" Johnson , a man who over the years has done just that. From his early start in MPLS as an youth. The tales he told about his Dad and the things that he invented as child in Duluth , MN. Which explained why we had free cable as roommates. LOL. Link moved from being a College student, meeting his wife of 33years and dating in college. (the 5th roommate Teresa). Also, covered the how and why he became a MPLS fireman ending with the rank of Captain. We talked about things most people do not know about firemen. Also, what he thinks about the way the they are portrayed on T.V. the days. After taking it easy in retirement Link was pushed to find something to get out the chair. Link became a School Bus Driver for a few years. He informed me of the ups and downs of getting our youth to school. We re-capped our bowling triumph and how bowling lead to the his latest Business venture. A small business creating bowling Shirts, Golf shirts and embroidery. The techniques he has learned and the things he learns on to make his business grow.

As the world continues to learn more & more about Autism. We have found ways to help those children and young adults live a better life on the spectrum. Today's guest is a great help for many on the spectrum. Stephen Flinn. Stephen Autism Educator who uses music and percussion to teach Academic Concepts, Positive Communication and Social Skills.
Stephen and I discussed his upbringing and how education wasn't really his thing. How he bounced around to find himself. Being exposed to music help him find is purpose in life. He recalls always being a home full music.
Stephen also talked about is program and how interacts with his students in positive, but challenging manner. We chatted about how is Percussion lessons are successful in addressing cognitive, emotional, and physical goals. Plus, through a perceptual motor match: VISUAL, TACTILE, and AUDITORY combined with speech (good for not yet verbal students too), the student sees the lessons, feels it, and hears it as they say the answers out loud. It is this redundancy of information that provides positive results.
Stephen has written numerous articles for Modern Drummer and Downbeat magazines, and just released his first book, “Contemporary Urban Percussion.” He is a graduate of Seattle University.

To be honest was very open about the wounds and trauma he suffered as a young person. from the physical abuse of his mother to the emotional abuse at the hand of his father. The trauma also was perpetrated by teachers and by members of his church. The effects on Don were heavy and cause him to self abuse himself in many different forms in different years in his formative years.
Dr. St. John talked about attempts to heal himself , in many different was. finally finding something he was able to latch on to make himself whole. The journey was not pretty and sometimes graphic.
Dr. St. John about the how his life came together after finding his path to connection. Let's face it a lot of us are still struggling with the things that were done to us by parents, siblings, family and friends.

Sara's journey is deep for it only to be only for 17years until this point. Sara and I hit all the high notes in her life as we discussed the time for youth Softball to the Pro's.
Sara started her journey as most young people do. By trying out many different sport, but she came to fall in love with Softball very quickly. Even though she continued to play other sports to be a well rounded athlete. This is something many High level coaches and players say that is very important for kids to do.
We talked about her High School years and the backwards college recruiting at the time. She went on to set many High school records at Eagan High School and in the state of Minnesota. Most of them were held by her High school coach at the time.
Sara new at young age she wanted to be a Gopher Player and her came true. We chatted about her time in Maroon and Gold and the Coaches, Players and staff that helped her along the way to be coming a B1G Champion, All B1G and All American. We looked backed at the ups and downs at the U in the first couple of years. (unfinished Business as we would say)
As Sara moved on to the Pro's we discussed that experience and how it shaped her future life after playing in the Pro's. It was a life's dream fulfilled as she got to rub elbows with some the greats of the game.
Sara is now a business owner with her former teammate in Eagan. Also, lives in Eagan with her husband and dog. Strike Zone Sports (SZS) is a Softball trainings center that teaches the skills of Pitching, Hitting and Defense to the next generation players in the state of MN.

This episode cover two of the most talk about topics in College athletics today. I hope it brings a greater understanding of the Topics N.I.L. and the Transfer Portal.
Jeremiah and I began our conversation with a brief background listing of his life.
From we talked about what a compliance officer and in an Athletic Dept and what role they play in the everyday function of the dept. We chatted about what lead him to the calling in his life.
Jeremiah answered my question in great detail, on what is N.I.L.? Also, the do's, don'ts and mis-info out there about N.I.L. He them explained what schools and Athletes are allowed to create a deal that would bring money for service for the athlete. Jeremiah, looked at through prisms if he was still an athlete or Coach. We discussed how you as an athlete can get a N.I.L. deal and people on the other side who are hiring the athletes and what way.
Lastly, we touched on the other topic that is causing an uproar in college sports, the Transfer Portal. It's not a place, but Jeremiah does where it does exist and how athletes and Colleges use it.
