For many of our student-athletes, they dream about playing lacrosse in college. It's a dream and goal that we help try and achieve for each of them. For Cylan, he's off to RPI in New York to pursue his dream and for Daniela, she's still in the process of it all. For this episode we talk with them both about their journeys and what they've learned along the way. #bridgefamily #bridgefamilia

It was bound to happen at some point, we lost an episode and so we had to go another round to bring you episode 5. This time, we have Thomas and Omar from our Junior Varsity Eagles team. A lot of our focus has been on our two Varsity teams, so it was finally time to give some love to our JV Eagles and their season. With a large graduating class, many of our JV Eagles are on deck to replace and help lead the Varsity Eagles team. Join us for a recap of the JV Eagles 2021 season and what's in store for the coming 2022 season. #bridgefamily #bridgefamilia

This episode was a special one with a good friend of the family from Houston, Texas. We welcomed Mike Song from Westside Houston lacrosse and the director of Nation United Texas. We discussed diversity and representation in our sport and how we manage two organizations focused on culture and providing equity for all. #bridgefamily #bridgefamilia

From some of the very first Bridge Lacrosse games at St. Philip's School & Community Center to the creation of the Bridge Lacrosse Alumni Association, Jacob Gonzalez has seen just about everything Bridge has to offer. Even after a hiatus from Bridge, Jacob has returned to Bridge with a new energy for our mission and work. Check out Episode 3 as we discuss his Bridge journey, his transition from college and now back to Bridge as a coach and the President of the Bridge Lacrosse Alumni Association. This pod was a ton of fun to catch up with an OG Bridge family member and a great coach and former student-athlete. #bridgefamily #bridgefamilia

It's now time to recap the historic championship run by our Eagles Varsity team! After finishing winless in back-to-back seasons, our Eagles made an unprecedented run at the THSLL Class D state title. It was an incredible year with a very special group of seniors. With special guest; Liam, G'Colby and Ke'Von, we get a deep dive into the 2021 season and a run like no other. #bridgefamily #bridgefamilia

Season 2 is here and we are back! It's been awhile, but we're just going to jump right in like it hasn't been a long 9 months since season 1. We're going to kick off with four of our Panthers from the Texas D3 Championship team! That's right, our girls fought and earned a title for the 2021 season. We welcomed Daniela, Kimaari, J Lo and JJ to the podcast to recap their unprecedented and historic season. From the uncertainty of COVID and the fear of a second shortened season to a tough road loss midway through the year to the championship game surrounded by friends and family, we get a deep dive into our champion winning team. Big shoutout to these four Panthers who worked so hard for themselves but also for future generations of Bridge Panthers. #bridgefamily #bridgefamilia

With a new school year upon us, it's time to an extended break from the Bridge Broadcast and wrap up season 1. With the help of Coach Jason and two of our Varsity Panther, Daniela and JJ, we recap the major events of the last six months, from (of course) COVID, to the continued efforts for racial justice, mental health and a little bit of everything between. It's been a challenging six months but it's been a pleasure to share the Bridge Family with everyone through this new medium. Season 2 coming soon.

Even after six years removed from playing in a Bridge and St. Philip's Saints jersey, Malcolm Herod remained ever present and engaged in the Bridge Family. Having recently graduated from the Episcopal School of Dallas, Malcolm joins us to catch up on old times with Bridge, life in COVID, his future plans, entrepreneurship and race in lacrosse.

After a brief break following our last episode, we are back! This time, we're with our four Detweiler Family Scholarship winners just as they begin their fall semesters of college. We know that paying for college can be incredibly tough for many of our kids and alumni, and being able to contribute a small amount has been a great opportunity. It was great to hear their aspirations and get insight into their journeys. Lastly, we want to once again thank the Detweiler Family and all of the supporters of our scholarship.

The qualities and skills of nonprofit leaders are incredibly important, perhaps now more than ever, as we continue to navigate COVID and the momentum around racial justice and healing. We are joined by our friend Marissa Castro Mikoy, the incoming CEO of Jubilee Park and outgoing CEO of After-School All-Stars North Texas. We discuss a variety of tasks required of leaders in our realm. Thank you, Marissa, for joining us.
