On this week’s episode of The Safety Goals Podcast, we have Stephanie Kuzydym. Stephanie is a DuPont and Emmy-award winning sports reporter, covering both the good and bad of high school sports. With her career taking her to places such as Houston and Cleveland, Stephanie has seen quite a bit during her time reporting. Her ability to have seen different issues affect different regions gives her a unique view on the problems facing youth sports. So much so that she began the Safer Sidelines Project which focuses on covering the unnecessary deaths in youth sports. 

What causes these tragic losses can vary in Stephanie’s findings, however, her work highlights the need for all individuals in sports to be aware of things such as the proper way to perform CPR, or where the nearest AED device may be located. Knowing these and many other important aspects can ultimately be the difference between life and death. We also dive into other factors in youth sports environments that lead to unsafe playing environments, such as budget issues, lack of awareness, and or preparation. There is a ton to unpack but we do hope you enjoy this edition of The Safety Goals Podcast with our guest Stephanie Kuzydym.
