Welcome to From the Sidelines with Coach Shayain 🎙️ Your sports, culture, and conversation show, joined by everyone’s favourite co host, Behmann.
In this episode we go around the sports world and react to the biggest headlines and debates happening right now.
🏎️ Motorsport
Formula 1 returns as the new season begins in Australia. We talk about the buzz around the grid, Ferrari storylines including Charles Leclerc’s recent wedding, and the Netflix effect from Drive to Survive. We also discuss changes in broadcast coverage as Sky Sports F1 drops Danica Patrick while confirming Jenson Button will feature more prominently this season.
We also look at NASCAR where Michael Jordan’s 23XI Racing team is making history, sweeping the first three races of the season with Tyler Reddick’s win at the DuraMAX Texas Grand Prix.
🏅 Paralympics
The Milano Cortina 2026 Paralympic Winter Games opening ceremony is set to take place in Verona, Italy, but controversy has emerged before the Games even begin. Several countries have announced a boycott of the opening ceremony following the decision to allow Russian athletes to compete under their national flag again. We break down the political tensions and the broader implications for international sport.
🏉 Rugby Sevens
The HSBC SVNS series returns to Vancouver bringing two days of fast paced rugby and fan celebrations. Canada’s Olympic silver medal winning Women’s Sevens team will compete alongside some of the best teams in the world as the tournament returns to one of the most electric stops on the circuit.
⚽ Football / Soccer
We discuss how clubs continue expanding their cultural footprint beyond the pitch including Arsenal’s new digital initiatives and the collaboration between Bukayo Saka and Nigerian artist Tems at Abbey Road Studios.
🎾 Tennis
Indian Wells is underway and we talk about the energy around the tournament including emerging underdogs and which players we are most excited to watch. We also look ahead to the Miami Open at Hard Rock Stadium and the growing wave of Black tennis stars rising through the rankings and reshaping the future of the sport.
⛳ Golf
A busy week across global golf. The PGA Tour heads to Bay Hill for the Arnold Palmer Invitational, the LPGA competes in Hainan, China, often called the “Hawaii of China,” and LIV Golf continues its international schedule with an event in Hong Kong.
🌶 Spicy Topic
We wrap the episode with a conversation about the content economy and what’s showing up on our social media algorithms. With billions of pieces of content published every day, why do we consume so much online but rarely engage?
Smart takes, honest reactions, and the conversations behind the games from the sidelines.
