  • Don't Lose Sight with Emilio Barreras

    Welcome back to the Varsity Breakdown Podcast. We know it's been a minute so we made sure to come at you with a special surprise guest. On this episode I was happy to finally sit down with Vista Grande alum and Grand Canyon University's own Emilio Barreras. We close up the Summer Camp Podcast series with a banger. We set up shop in the Coolidge Bears' Weight Room to talk his Freshman season with the Lopes and discuss Emilio's connection to the city of Coolidge. Learn why being able to give back to the community that grew up in is a must for the young man, and get to know who dropped the bomb that etched his first memory of baseball. We talk about his time at Vista Grande, being able to live out a dream as a freshman on the varsity team and the nightmare scenario that leads to Emilio revealing a gutsy move that was life altering. We hear how the sun never went down in Alaska and the wild experiences and memories he has been able to live out all while just enjoying the ride and having some fun. We had a lot of laughs in this one and we hope that you enjoy getting to meet the one and only Varsity Breakdown Break-out Batter, Mr. Emilio Barreras. Special thank you to Dr. Clinton White of the Coolidge Unified School District for his accommodation of their facilities and allowing the Varsity Breakdown in their space. This is episode forty-nine of the Varsity Breakdown Podcast.

  • Pay It Forward with Conor Sullivan

    Welcome back to The Varsity Breakdown Podcast. On this episode I was fortunate enough to sit down with another great guest, Vista Grande alum and Wisconsin Lutheran College's own Conor Sullivan. Picking up right where we left off with the Summer Camp Podcast series, we talk about Conor's connection to the camp and the importance of being able to give back so soon. We talk about his time at Vista Grande and the changes within that he was able to take part in and ultimately leaving Arizona to head out east. We discuss the culture shock he experienced while being out on his own in Wisconsin and how the area has now changed his favorite food. From his first football experience in middle school to the importance of his family in his recruiting process, we learn all we can from the Warrior in Wisconsin.

  • Family Matters with Lelend Cevedia

    Welcome back to the Varsity Breakdown Podcast, and we have an exceptional guest for another great episode. We're picking up right where we left off with the Summer Camp Podcast series and having a conversation with another state champion in Casa Grande Cougars, Lelend Cevedia. The young man takes time from his busy camp schedule in Show Low to talk about his past, present and future. We touch on him winning a state championship in his freshman year, taking up wrestling in his sophomore year and how he anticipates his junior year at Union will unfold. This was a very special discussion where we got to see the other side of the student-athlete in an episode where you connect with them by their amazing upbringing, and make you want to cheer for them harder on game day. From his favorite subject to some of his favorite music artists, beyond the field Lelend proves he is nothing short of extraordinary.
