Distill It - A 360 View of Life in Sport

This time of year offers up a cornucopia of sports...football 🏈, baseball ⚾, basketball 🏀, soccer ⚽, hockey 🏒 and so much more. So we decided to free-style it on the show this week and boy do we have lots to talk about in the world of sports. But we also want to hear from you so let's #DistillIt! this Tuesday, October 23rd at 3 pm PST on Universal Broadcasting Network or on FB Live.

Fresh off the plane from London and the NFL International Series game between the Seattle Seahawks and the The Oakland Raiders, Eira and Wendy discuss the experience, the fans and the value of the NFL taking their show on the road to London and what the future might look like for the NFL as demand and love for the sport of football grows overseas. Let's #DistillIt! on Tuesday, October 16th at 3 pm PDT on Universal Broadcasting Network ubnradio.com, Channel 1.

For all the stories of athletes struggling to transition out of their professional careers, there are an incredible number of inspiring success stories as well. We are honored to host former NBA star Darwin Cook, who will share his journey from the very first Crenshaw High School championship team through to the NBA as a member of the New Jersey Nets and the Denver Nuggets, then on to coaching basketball at every level. As the current men's basketball Head Coach at the University of Antelope Valley, Darwin is winning championships and changing lives. How does he do it? Let's #DistillIt!

It takes a lot of guts to be an elite athlete - dealing with extreme physical pain as well as mental and emotional distress. And, all too many times, the journey doesn't quite end as the athlete envisioned. Thank goodness for Dr. Mark Robinson, Founder of the Institute for Personal Player Development! Dr. Mark works with athletes all over the world to help them understand the challenges and issues they will face along the way. How does he do it? Let's #DistillIt!

For those who grew up in Los Angeles, you probably know that Crenshaw High School has been a longtime City & State basketball 🏀dynasty! Our guest this week is Coach Bill Smith, who was on Crenshaw's first LA City Championship team in 1970-71 and played for the school's iconic & beloved coach Willie E. West, Jr. Since his playing days, Bill has gone on to teach & coach thousands of kids in schools and through his Bevwood FunCamp enterprise. He knows how to inspire and guide kids through sports! How does he do it? Let's #DistillIt on Tuesday, August 28th, at 3pm PDT on Universal Broadcasting Network ubnradio.com, channel 1.

We often talk about how sports effects our mindset and our emotional well-being. Participating in sports can move us forward, help transform our view of the world and just make us feel better. Our special guest this week, Carolyn Mahboubi of Shift Life Coaches used sports to transform her life and now uses it to work with others as she encourages them to exercise while they transform theirs. Let's #DistillIt with Carolyn on Tuesday, August 7th at 3 pm PDT.

They say you should never work with kids or animals, but this week we are ignoring that advice. Since we look at sports from all viewpoints, we decided to ask kids how they feel about sports. From playing to watching to obsessing over trades on Madden 18 - what is going on inside their minds?! Let's #DistillIt! tomorrow at 3pm PDT with our kids: 2 Davids and a Heloise! We get to be biased on this one : ) Join us on the Universal Broadcasting Network ubnradio.com, Channel 1, or this FB page.

The League Ambassadors: an incredible group of friends who love sports and do all they can to share that love with the world! Their two popular vidcasts, 32 Kings Road and Confirmation Bias, are truly fun, funny and enlightening. We love what they do and can’t wait for them to join us on our vidcast so we can #DistillIt together!

Shakespeare may have said to kill all the lawyers, but we are honored to have this one alive, kicking and excited to share the ins and outs of sports law and player management. A prominent British sports attorney, Xabier de Beristain-Humphrey deals in major transactions such as team purchases to helping young players who are recruited to the Premiere League from foreign countries get settled.

Emotional intelligence is as equally important to an athlete's success as athletic intelligence. So, why is it the second, fourth, or 100th thing many professional athletes even worry about? Let's #DistillIt! with special guests, founder of Positive Sports Leadership Scott Cvetkovski, and former Macabbi Tel Aviv Electra star David Blu.
