Podcasts about Chicago Sky

On this edition of Road Trippin', the crew is joined by Candace Parker of the Chicago Sky. "The GOATess" (as Channing rightfully calls her) speaks to aging within the sport and how she'll adapt her game when those legendary skills start to decline. As for what her body's telling her ahead of coming back for a 16th WNBA season, Candace tells us, "I plan to play." Candace addresses the ongoing Britney Griner situation, which really hits home for her...having played in Russian Leagues for five years and marrying a Russian. She gets into just how scary things are for Britney & her family and how we all need to stay persistent in pushing out messages calling for her release. Have a question or topic for our next show?

This week Jenna invites Annie Costabile to the bar. Annie is a multimedia journalist for the Chicago Sun Time covering the Chicago Sky and Red Stars and she has also been covering the Bulls this season as well. She is the host of the podcast Equal Play where she aims to highlight the brightest women in sports from the field to the front office. In this conversation Annie discusses the importance of showing up, why patiences isn't always a good thing and so much more.

FIRST AIRED: SEPTEMBER 17TH, 2019 Today I want to switch things up a bit and talk about a very important topic, mental wellness. This is more than a hot topic, its reality and we all need to do a much better job in looking out for ourselves and each other, especially in the workplace. I've known my guest today Eric Kussin, an expert in this space, for probably 25 years as we grew up in the same neighborhood in Long Island. We were never really close but always respected and admired each other. In the last few years we connected deeper professionally and the synergy has been fantastic. Eric Kussin is an 18-year professional sports executive, who got his start at the NBA League Office. After five years with the League, he went the team business route and rose the ranks with the expansion Chicago Sky, and later the Phoenix Suns. He then switched over to the NHL, working with the New Jersey Devils, & Florida Panthers. However, a debilitating mental health crisis stopped Eric's career and life in its tracks for over two and a half years. After many failed treatment modalities, he was lucky enough to learn healing practices that enabled him to dig out of his abyss, and found a higher calling, launching a non-profit at the end of 2017 called, We're All a Little “Crazy,” The Global Mental Health Alliance. The Alliance is comprised of athletes and celebrities, along with media members, expert practitioners, advocates, and everyday heroes who've come together to make talking about mental health a common topic for “5 out of 5” of us. Their #SameHere Movement has swept across college campuses in the US from Cornell to USC, K-12's, Corporate Offices, and Professional Sports Teams in just over a year. The Movement has recently begun to expand globally as well, with events in markets outside of the US. As mental wellness continues to be at the forefront of every conversation, I knew it was critical to have Eric on the show today to dig in. I am thrilled and honored to have him on. I truly hope that you are able to learn from Eric's story and look out for yourself and your fellow humans.

Former Gonzaga Bulldogs big man Chet Holmgren may have suffered a torn ligament in his foot while defending LeBron James at Jamal Crawford's Crawsover Pro-Am on Saturday, putting the Oklahoma City Thunder rookie in jeopardy of beginning the season healthy. Today's episode discusses Holmgren's injury, potential timeline to return to the court, and the less than optimal way fans have reacted to this news since it broke. Gonzaga also added a new game to their non-conference slate, a matchup with the Northern Illinois Huskies of the MAC. We discuss the Huskies and postulate on two other games the Zags could add to round out their non-conference schedule this season. Finally, segment three is a look at Courtney Vandersloot's season with the Chicago Sky after they defeated the New York Liberty to advance to the second round of the WNBA playoffs, where they are hoping to become the first repeat champions since the Los Angeles Sparks in 2002.
