They made history—and they're not done yet.In this episode of The Varsity Radio Show, we sit down with Albertville High School basketball standouts KeAndre Yancey and Isaiah Faulks for an unforgettable conversation about hustle, heart, and how their team became the first in school history to make it to the 7A Sweet 16.From hilarious locker room moments and crushing early-season lessons to dreaming of the big leagues and building brotherhood off the court, this episode is full of the raw moments and real stories that shape champions.Plus, FCA's Abbie Klotz stops by to talk faith, family, and the power of community through sports.

Terry Fulwider was born in Calamus, Iowa and grew up in Waco, Texas. Terry has two grown children with his wife Lynn, and they now care for two cats and two dogs. They married at the 8A1 Guntersville airport aviation museum in 2013. After developing his musical career in Nashville over 20 years, he now makes his home Albertville, Alabama since 2014 where he works supporting the IT infrastructure at a poultry processing company. Terry's Music career is grounded in his talent as a guitar player and his experiences playing the on the Honky-Tonk Highway in Nashville. Terry's also gone on tour with well known American country music singer and songwriter Joe Diffie with whom Terry recorded a live album at Billy Bob's in Dallas Texas. Terry also toured with country soul singer Billy Joe Royal whose song Down in the Boondocks became a hit in the 1960's. Terry now has his own band and operates a recording studio in his home. He continues his service through music as a worship leader for his church.Terry's hobbyist interest in mechanics took flight in his late teens though the restoration of his 1966 Chevelle with the help of his father and continues today with a project to refresh an earlier restoration of a custom 1968 Mercury Cougar. In 2008 Terry's aviation engagement reached a significant milestone when he earned his PPL at Smyrna/Rutherford County Airport (KMQY). Terry is beginning the ambitious effort of building a Rutan LongEZ and is using OpenEZ LongEZ Plans to build Serial Number 0001 of the Fulwider LongEZ.In preparation for this episode, Terry shared with me a story about a time when he was listening to podcasts on a long drive and discovered the CanardCast episodes. He recalled the rewarding feeling of getting a chance to hear the voices of the people he'd been reading about online and through his research in the process of reviewing the plans and preparing his LongEZ build. I found this exciting to hear as it reinforced one of the goals for the CanardCast project. Terry's interests and experiences all come together now: Media production and Sound Editing, mechanical vehicle restoration, Rutan canard builder, Pilot and IT Services support to perfectly cradle his new role at COBA. Let's get to know our new producer, Terry a little more in the first episode of Season 4 of CanardCast!

From a nationwide laser rifle program to club development tools and a new online-based education center, U.S. Biathlon sport development efforts are resulting in strong growth in the popular, fast-rising sport. To learn more, Heartbeat caught up with U.S. Biathlon's Director of Sport Development John Farra. His enthusiasm is contagious!A longtime Olympic athlete, coach, program leader, and high-performance director, in 2022 Farra embraced an opportunity to join the team at U.S. Biathlon as director of sport development. Two years later, aspiring biathletes and local club programs have a wealth of new tools to both help them with an introduction to sport and to perfect their craft.Farra grew up in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., where his family owned a cross country ski center. He competed in the 1992 Olympic Winter Games in Albertville, became an NCAA All American at Utah then embarked on a career in sport leadership. His career took him to Lake Placid's National Sports Academy and the Maine Winter Sports Center, a stint as nordic director for the U.S. Ski Association, as well as high-performance roles with U.S. Paralympics and USA Triathlon. Today, Farra has found excitement and satisfaction in a role from his home base near Soldier Hollow, impacting the sport nationwide.“The common thread for me has always been the athletes,” said Farra. “It really is a fantastic experience for me to find ways to add value, to allow athletes to create the best performance they can create and to be the team behind the team.After more than a decade working in high performance, Farra has a different role now, which he embraces wholeheartedly – building the sport from the grassroots to ensure participants have a fun and positive experience.“When you know that you're adding value, you're doing the little things – I think of this job as pieces to the puzzle. I know that the pieces that I'm working with and the pieces that I'm putting into the puzzle are important to the overall foundation for the sport, and that gives me great pleasure.”One of Farra's first initiatives two years ago was to learn from clubs and build the base. He logged many miles visiting biathlon programs in every corner of America. Today, U.S. Biathlon has grown to encompass 44 clubs nationwide. Glancing at his yellow legal pad, he counted 14 more communities where he has active conversations. What was the catalyst? Farra quickly points to U.S. Biathlon's laser rifle program. One of the biggest supporters has been the International Biathlon Union, which provided 10 laser rifles last year with more anticipated for the future. Farra has set up an easy-to-use program for local clubs and communities to reserve laser rifles and have them shipped from U.S. Biathlon's Utah headquarters.The result? Last season, over 2,400 athletes tried biathlon – a jump from 800 the year before!In addition to local try-it programs, U.S. Biathlon has also coordinated with existing major cross country youth festivals around the country – going to events that already attract skiers and offering them a fun add-on. Youth have responded!U.S. Biathlon has also focused on growth of its annual coaches conference. This past season, the event was held at U.S. Biathlon's National Training Center, the Ariens Nordic Center in Wisconsin, attracting the largest number of coaches ever.Events are where the skis meet the snow. And while winter events are continuing to grow, Farra cites a focus on summer as really starting to make a difference. With plenty of events occupying winter weekend, U.S. Biathlon has started to look more to summer, creating the Summer Biathlon Championship series. This past summer, the new series tallied around 400 starts with more than 200 participating athletes from around the country.This episode of Heartbeat is full of fascinating discussions on sport development programs that are really starting to make a difference for U.S. Biathlon. Listen in with U.S. Biathlon Director of Sport Development John Farra.U.S. BIATHLON LAUNCHES ONLINE CENTERWith dozens of clubs and thousands of members scattered across America, the new digital U.S. Biathlon Center is providing a centralized source of valuable sport education information. Launched in 2023, The Center is available online and through a unique mobile application. It offers education content geared towards athletes, coaches, officials, clubs and volunteers.

Récemment, en France, on a beaucoup parlé du défi du youtubeur français Inoxtag, total novice en montagne qui a réussi à atteindre l'Everest. Mais qui connait l'exploit de Sophie Lavaud ? Cette alpiniste franco-suisse, méconnue au départ, arrivée sur la pointe des pieds et des crampons dans le club très restreint des «huitmillistes», a finalement achevé l'ascension des 14 sommets de plus 8000 mètres.  En juin 2023, la Franco-Suisse Sophie Lavaud a achevé au sommet du Nanga Parbat, situé au Pakistan, son marathon des cimes en atteignant son 14ème sommet de plus de 8000 mètres, réussissant là où les Français avaient toujours échoué. Elle est donc LE premier Français (tous genres confondus), la première Suissesse mais aussi LE premier Canadien (tous genres confondus) à achever ces quatorze 8000. Ce genre de grand chelem himalayen, que seule une quarantaine d'alpinistes au monde détient à ce jour, suscite fascination, admiration mais aussi interrogations sur les évolutions de l'himalayisme et la pratique de l'alpinisme en général. Or, Sophie Lavaud incarne bien plus que ces nouvelles expéditions guidées, avec porteurs et apports d'oxygène qui viennent bousculer une certaine aristocratie de la haute altitude. Sa trajectoire de femme audacieuse, passionnée de montagnes et de sommets, non professionnelle au départ, qui aura passé onze ans de sa vie à aller au bout de son exploit, nous rappelle que les outsiders, non issus du sérail, ont eux aussi droit à leur part de rêves et de montagnes. Rencontre à l'occasion du Festival du documentaire et du livre «Le Grand Bivouac» qui s'est tenu du 14 au 24 octobre à Albertville avec l'himalayiste Sophie Lavaud et François Damilano, guide de haute montagne français, écrivain et réalisateur qui l'a suivie et filmée sur plusieurs ascensions.  À lire :- «Les quatorze 8000 de Sophie Lavaud», de François Damilano et Sophie Lavaud. Éditions Glénat. 2024- «Chroniques himalayennes», de François Damilano. JM Éditions. 2023. En savoir plus :- Sur le le premier film de François Damilano «On va marcher sur l'Everest» consacré à Sophie Lavaud- Sur le Festival du documentaire et du livre d'Albertville «Le Grand Bivouac».

Buckle up, because this podcast is going to take you for a ride. The influx of Haitian migrants in Alabama has been the lead story on 1819 News for over a month now. Haitian immigrants started popping up in Albertville and Athens, then in Enterprise and Sylacauga. Springfield, Missouri is getting all the national headlines but it's happening right here in Alabama. Many of the city and county leaders, as well as the media outlets, have resorted to calling the citizens racist rather than trying to deal with the situation head on, and have shut down their opportunity to speak at city council meetings. This week, Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall sits down with Bryan for their quarterly update and they tackle the immigration conversation. How are these people getting here? What can be done? Are they actually legal? The crime in Montgomery reached a fever pitch over the summer, but things seem to be getting better and AG Marshall talks about what his team has done to reduce the murder and violent crime rate in the capital city. They also discuss the anti-constitutional rhetoric that pours out of Kamala every time she makes unscripted comments like her recent one where she stated citizens have a right to bear arms but the government has a right to come into your house and make sure the weapons are being used responsibly. Yikes. University of Alabama Birmingham was recently in the news. They are not only bragging about being one of the most LGBTQ friendly universities in the nation and promoting the fact that they use DEI to pick doctors and med students instead of making those decisions based on merit. They were recently exposed for taking a six figure tax payer funded grant to study vaginal health in transgender men. I'm sure the UAB donors and alumni are really excited about the direction of the University. - OVERTIME: LOCAL Alabama, Mom's for Liberty, and ADF have been putting on several Town Halls all over the state featuring AG Marshal and Rep Susan DuBose. The purpose of these Town Halls is to inform the public of how bad the Title IX changes really are and that has caused floods of protestors to show up to the meetings. Marshall fills us in on how those have gone and some of the feedback they've received is that the meetings are actually life changing.

Camilla: “You are brilliant at drawing people out with great questions, creating really enjoyable podcasts.” Mark Wakeling: “Really enjoyed the Chemmy interview. From an early age just wouldn't take no for an answer and her infectious enthusiasm is inspiring.” Jim: “I was listening to the podcast the other day while hiking up a mountain. You were talking about where to get second-hand skis. At the beginning of the season, a lot of resorts organise Braderies where the local shops pool ex-hire or last season kit to sell in one convenient place. Another great option is shops like Trocsport which sell secondhand skis on behalf of individuals. There are loads of small shops like this.” There are now 226 episodes of The Ski Podcast to catch up with and 121 of those were listened to in the last week.

From his own words: My father wasn't like those around him. He grew up in Detroit in a neighborhood which imposed limits. He was told he would never amount to anything. Any aspiration was mocked. Any goal undermined. But my dad persevered. He believed that he could create a better life for himself and his family if he cut against the grain, worked harder, went to school, took risks, and made moves. For a couple years of my early childhood, I never saw him, because he worked overnight, slept during the day, and attended trade school in the afternoon. His effort eventually paid off. He moved up from airline stock clerk to commercial airplane mechanic, working for what was then Northwest Airlines and would become Delta. When his moment came, he jumped at the opportunity to move us from Detroit to the airline's h...

This week's Overdrive Radio podcast edition features primarily the voice of Overdrive April Trucker of the Month, owner-operator Gary Schloo. The three-decade-plus owner's headquartered in Austin, Minnesota, leased to Long Haul Trucking out of relatively nearby Albertville. Today, Schloo runs dedicated to a particular customer in Long Haul Trucking's network and can make a regular round in a day's time, keeping him not far from his two-acre property throughout his week. It's been his bread and butter now for nearly two decades, hauled since 2014 behind a Peterbilt 386 glider powered by a 12.7 Detroit Series 60 he bought new at the time. Ever with an eye on ways to save, the owner-operator adjusted his physical damage insurance shortly after the purchase, limiting the radius of his coverage to 500 miles with Great West Casualty, outside the policy he'd previously purchased through LHT. That's just one example of moves made and routines built through the years that have delivered long-term stability and profits for Schloo. Current LHT CEO Jason Michels, in Overdrive's prior story about the owner-operator, told of meeting Schloo early in his own trucking career, when he was just getting started with LHT as an owner-operator himself: https://www.overdriveonline.com/trucker-of-the-year/article/15669324/effective-insurance-exacting-analysis-deliver-gary-schloos-success Schloo and Michels met in West Virginia as both owners loaded there for a run back to Minnesota, then talking along the way. Schloo's generous with his time with young owners, Michels noted, and certainly was on that run where the pair met. Schloo schooled him on the importance of paying taxes so as not to get behind the eight ball with penalties and other wasted money, tracking and analyzing cost and revenue performance closely, and saving plenty as insurance against the rainy days. A lot of Schloo's success comes back to insurance, in fact, building the business nest egg and other practices to guard against the unexpected: https://www.overdriveonline.com/partners-in-business/video/15667833/stock-your-trucking-pantry-against-famine-before-any-feast-ends That extends to health and disability. He's carried a disability insurance policy for decades, and it's proven plenty effective, particularly when 15 years ago now he had a heart attack that threw everything he'd built into question. Take a run through Schloo's story for more in this week's podcast. Owner-operator Gary Schloo is in the running for Overdrive's 2024 Trucker of the Year award, sponsor by Bostrom Seating. You can enter your own or another worthy owner-operator business for a chance at a new Bostrom seat among other prizes and recognitions, via https://overdriveonline.com/toptrucker

I'll just let you know that I am your English but Mexican listener as I spend a bit of time over there" Michael Hart: "Enjoyed listening to The Ski Podcast as usual. I appreciate the work you do both on sustainability, but mindful of the difficulties that skiers in the north/Scotland have with train travel. I have taken the decision to offset my carbon to mitigate air travel, but the lack of economically viable train option from Manchester and similar areas remains a problem."

In This Episode:    When we think of pushing ourselves — in business, sports, or just life — many of us aim to be the very best at what we do. But sometimes pushing yourself can actually mean *leaving* that top spot — and setting off on a completely new journey. And that's exactly what our guest this week did in her accomplished athletic career.    Wendy Fisher was a member of the U.S. National Ski Team and earned a spot on the 1992 Winter Olympic team in Albertville, France. She transitioned into big mountain skiing, becoming a two-time World Extreme Skiing Champion and one of the top skiers in the world.    Listen to the full episode for more about Wendy's journey (from the U.S. National Ski Team, to quitting skiing, to a completely new branch of the sport), how she got through tragedy in her life, the habits she's kept in her life, what she's working on now, and a lot more.   Here's a Glimpse of What You'll Learn:    More about Wendy's journey from childhood skiing to the U.S. National Team  Why Wendy had a different goal every day when she woke up other than “make the Olympic team” — and how that helped her perform better Some of the challenges Wendy experienced in the U.S. National Team atmosphere, including isolation and an eating disorder What led Wendy to eventually quitting the national team Some of the tragedies and challenges that precipitated Wendy's “never to ski again” road trip How Wendy got her start in her next sport, including a situation where onlookers told her, “We've never seen a girl do that.” How Wendy finally started to recover from the grief over the death of her brother, as well as an eating disorder Some of the lessons Wendy learned from her own experiences that she now shares with younger people, including other skiers  Why Wendy needed to “pull her head out of her ass” and let go of what could have been, especially after she had her two sons Some of the habits Wendy has kept in her life, even after her competitive athletic career — and what it took for her to let go of some of the guilt of not being successful at something   Resources Mentioned in This Episode:   Wendy's website Wendy Fisher on Instagram Wendy Fisher on Twitter “Open: An Autobiography” by Andre Agassi “The Untethered Soul: The Journey Beyond Yourself” by Michael A.
