The Gametime Guru

The great debate. Should you play more than one sport? How does it benefit you and what may it be doing to hinder your development? 

There's MANY sides to this discussion. So today, I'm bringing on a good friend of mine, Bryon Brotzman, to speak about it from his perspective! 

Bryon grew up with two older brothers (Kyle, one of his older brothers joined my show back on Episode 55) and they all played multiple sports. Soccer, Baseball, Basketball (and then even Football). 

We talk injuries. Does it take a toll on your body? Age, weight room, etc. All the little things that go into playing multiple sports and when it might be a good idea to focus in on one sport. 

Also, does the evolution of Club Sports make an impact on whether an athlete can actually compete in multiple sports? We touch base on that too! 

You don't want to miss this episode of the show! It's going to be a good one!

From all the way when I was a young child until now, at 31 years old, I have ALWAYS found comfort in sports. I remember, the days (really the whole last month) leading up to my church mission, I was SO NERVOUS I couldn't sleep. I had a fear of the unknown. Nobody before me in my immediate family had served a mission and I didn't know what to expect. I wouldn't sleep in my room, I'd have to sleep on the couch. You know why? Because it allowed me to turn on ESPN and have Sports Center playing in the background so I could sleep through the night. I found comfort in hearing the same replays OVER and OVER again throughout the evening. Sports brought me comfort. It was "more than a game" to me. Sports were, and continue to be, a medication of sorts for me. Like a good friend once said, "they matter because they don't matter." I know the sports world is in chaos right now, but I'm going to tell you something, the fact that the NBA used its platform to take a major step (albeit an unpopular one in the eyes of some), showed me once again, that Sports are "more than a game." Going back to what I said, I was called to serve. And my passion is sports. That is EXACTLY why I began my sports podcast three years ago. I wanted to share that passion with the world. Which is EXACTLY why I've made the decision to continue to produce content while I can. With the hope that even if it's just once a week, someone can tune into MY show and get away from the worries of the world. They can tune into MY show and hear from motivational individuals as they share their stories with the rest of us! That is why I will continue to produce content and keep my podcast running! I believe it can help the world believe it or not, and even if it's a small impact, at least I'm doing something. I want to provide that same comfort to others through sports discussions and interviews, that ESPN brought to me throughout my whole life.
