Going solo today on the Fred Opie show talking about the importance of school choice rifting off of a conversation I had with one of my fried who is going through the process right now with his children. Are you going to look at a school that you know you can't afford and you're not going to get financial aid? Do you live in Washington DC and do you know the college benefit you have that those living outside the district don't have? Does your kid want to play college sport or is it you that want your kid to play a sport? Ease drop on the cell phone conversation me my buddy had about these topics and more.

On this week’s podcast: we ask the questions are you eating to win or winning to eat? When I started playing competitive sports I had horrible eating habits. That continued until I became a Division I athlete at Syracuse University. I was a physical education major and therefore exposed to the importance of food, nutrition, and athletic performance. I started making the necessary to get playing time. As my career continued after college so did improvement on my diet. How much better would I have been as a college player if I had eaten better and hydrated with water more often? Today’s show takes a look at that question through the lens of players and coaches from the 1960s to the present: Bill Tierney, Jack Emmer, Mike Waldvogel, Kevin Buchanan, John Galloway, Peter Baum, Kevin Corrigan, Kristin Igoe, Janine Tucker, Scott Rogers and Kyle Harrison.

Fred Opie played lacrosse at Syracuse University and on a US National Team. He is a founding member of the FCA lacrosse camp, and former member of the US Lacrosse Board of Directors, Professor of history and author, a husband and the father of two children who play sports. He has seen so many talented athletes who have never taken the essential steps to open the doors to fantastic opportunities in life. Think about it, when you’re watching a college game, more than likely you’re not watching the best players. Some of the best players lacked an understanding of their gifts and the discipline to give their best effort, make good choices, and take the time to care about others. That had been Opie experience for too long in his life. In this podcast, Opie shares what he wished he had known before going to college with a live audience of student athletes and coaches at Herkimer County Community College in New York. Opie shares the baby steps to what he calls a total student athlete makeover.
