Breakin the Norm

Without need of introduction, Annika Sorenstam is arguably the greatest women's golfer of all time. In my interview with the LPGA legend, she talks fitness, cooking, playing against the men, and some of her most cherished times on the tour...and how her favorite part of her life is right now!!

In one of my personal favorite interviews, MLB veteran umpire Ted Barrett talks about his time as a pastor, boxer and the lonely road as an umpire. Ted peels back the curtain to give us a look behind the man in one of the most loathed professions among sports fans....and it's not what you think!!

One of the greatest women's basketball players ever to wear the uniform, Hall of Famer Jackie Stiles talks about her days growing up in Claflin, KS, breaking NCAA scoring records, her professional career and what she's up to now...

In the first segment, I'll talk with Fox News Chief White House Correspondent ED HENRY as he details his new book "42 faith", the untold story of how faith brought Jackie Robinson, Branch Rickey and Major League Baseball together. The segments 2 and 3, 17 year US Olympic Soccer veteran and 2-time Gold Medalist JULIE FOUDY tells me about her leadership academy for young girls, why it's so important to raise leaders, her new book "Choose to Matter", and what some of her favorite things are in life.

Meet Sgt. Noah Galloway, the American Hero who lost both his L arm and L leg when an IED blew his 5-ton Hummer upside down into a ditch while serving in Operation Iraqi Freedom. After waking from a nearly week-long coma, Noah wasn't quite prepared to live life...differently. Depression, along with excessive drinking and sleeping, quickly overtook his life...until he decided to take life back!

Now a fitness trainer, Dancing With the Stars Season 23 veteran, and Men's Health Magazine's 2014 "Ultimate Guy" contest winner, Galloway is inspiring millions with his new book titled "No Excuses", as well as traveling the country speaking to many businesses and organizations. Listen in as he tells us how he was "prepared to die from combat, but not prepared to live with the loss of limbs".

In this dual interview, I first talk with Indy Car Racing Champion James Hinchcliffe, who discusses the crash that was 90 seconds from killing him, his determined and speedy recovery, and his time on ABC/Disney's Dancing With the Stars. Next, I'll sit down with Thomas Bies, Premiere Mazda/Volvo owner, and his very TALL son TJ, who lost serious pounds and his on his way to a potential career as a professional pitcher! A father-son duo that breathes fresh air into what sports are really about...character and relationships!

Harrison (Ark) HS All-Sate football player Brandon Burlsworth had dreams of playing for the Arkansas Razorbacks. Labeled as 'too short' & 'too fat', he received a scholarship....to Arkansas Tech. Determined not to let go of his dream, he became a walk-on at Arkansas with little or no hopes of gaining a scholarship...until he did! With a strong faith, high moral fiber and a dogged determination, Burlsworth earned not only a scholarship, but became an All-American..but that's not all. He became the 1st player to earned his BS AND Masters' degrees while still playing for the team, and was drafted in the 3rd round by the Indianapolis Colts! Tragically, just 11 days after the draft, "The Greatest Walk-on ever" to play CFB was killed in an automobile accident at the age of 22. Just released on DVD, the movie "Greater", starring Christopher Severio, Neal McDonough and Leslie Easterbook gives us the amazing story of a young man who wouldn't give up, despite insurmountable odds. Join me as I interview the main father figure in his life, an amazing man of love and faith...oh yeah, and football, his older brother Marty Burlsworth.

In his eloquent and blunt true story, Price puts the reader front and center of one of the most influential towns in US history!
