Whenever I am excited about an event I arrive really early. Usually it means, I sit biting my nails, waiting. Recently I arrived early to meet the FC Barcelona team at Niketown on Chicago's Michigan Avenue. I arrived about three hours early thinking I would be the first one there and be able to get a good position to take pictures. However, I underestimated the FC Bar...

Lacrosse is a sport that I know absolutely nothing about. I’ve never played it before and it is not very popular in Nebraska yet. So, when I found out that I was going to interview one of the top women’s Lacrosse players in the nation, I was really excited!

Kristen Kjellman has been playing Lacrosse since high school and helped lead her college team to three consecutive national championships. She is currently an employee for Nike and she plays on the National Elite t...

I never thought I'd be on the field of Dodger's stadium. And I really never thought I'd be there interviewing the US women's softball team. But that's exactly what I got to do.

The US Softball team was there to unveil the new uniforms they will be wearing at the games in Beijing. There was also a huge 40-foot replica of the jerseys carried out on the field by young softball players. The coolest part of the Beijing bound uniforms is the 3 stars on the arm. They represen...

I gladly left the chilly Nebraska climate to head off to sunny Tampa, Florida where I interviewed champion swimmer Maritza Correia. It was lunchtime, so we met up at The Columbia restaurant. This is the largest Spanish restaurant in the world and one of Maritza's favorite places to eat.

The food at The Columbia was great. We had a long lunch and chatted like old friends. It was really fun! Maritza has had one heck of a swimming career. She has been involved in the spo...

Everyone has that one athlete who they really look up to. The person who at one point in their athletic career provided inspiration. For me, this person was Jackie Joyner-Kersee, and I got the chance to interview her.

I ventured down to East St. Louis to go to the Jackie Joyner-Kersee Center. This is a place where children in the community can come and hang out, play sports and do their homework center. They put a lot of work into making sure that each child feels wel...

There I was. Sitting on a stage, microphone in hand surrounded by hundreds of tennis shoes. Across from me, is WNBA superstar Diana Taurasi. Is this a dream? No….it’s Hoops Talk!

For two days of All-Star Weekend, I co-hosted Hoopstalk; a weekly call in radio show on www.nikebasketball.com. Hoopstalk host Rich Lopez and I changed the scene by inviting the pros to talk to us in person. We...

What do you get when you put 75 high school students, some professional athletes, and bright green training equipment in one room? Well, it’s got to be the Nike SPARQ Training media launch!

I traveled to New York City to attend the launch of Nike’s new training program Nike SPARQ Training. SPARQ stands for Speed, Power, Agility, Reaction, and Quickness. It is intended to help athletes reach their full potential using training methods focused on dynamic move...
