In Episode 299 CVW Men's Top 20 is graced with the guest appearance of Princeton Head Coach, Sam Shweisky. Sam joins the crew to talk about some of the top 20 matches during the 10th week of the Men's Collegiate season. Each week, the MIVA seems to have more mayhem as teams jostle for positioning for post-season play. The Waves split with the Bows for an entertaining series, Belmont Abbey and Mt. Olive are vying for the top spot in the Conference Carolinas, while the “Battle for LA” proved that the lone defeated team in the nation can turn it on in crunch time. From there the crew selects their “Ballers of the Week,” and matches they'll be watching in Week 11. We finish the episode with a new favorite segment, “Jay's Quick Hits,” where the coaches answer some interesting topics in Men's Volleyball! Thanks for watching and/or listening! #NCAAMVB

Over a distinguished NBA and collegiate career, Shane Battier established himself as a scholar-athlete, All-American, leader, and philanthropist. Dubbed the "No-Stats All-Star" by Michael Lewis in a New York Times Sunday Magazine cover story, Shane is regarded as one of the most successful, albeit atypical, basketball players in history for using his leadership, lockdown defense, and intellect to win championships at every level. After graduating with honors from Duke University with two Final Four appearances, one national championship, two All-American awards, & Naismith and John Wooden National Player of the Year awards, the Memphis Grizzlies selected Battier in the 2001 NBA draft. Battier went on to be part of the back-to-back 2012 and 2013 NBA championship Miami Heat team and a USA Basketball Men's Senior national team member. He understands that champions are made when no one is looking and that attention to the often-unnoticed intangibles makes the difference in building a championship culture. In our conversation this week, John and Jerry unpack the highs and lows of Shane's remarkable journey, from his childhood and the role of his parents, to his high school and college days, to his introduction to the NBA, and finally his championship seasons. We also discuss his post basketball years, his struggles with the transition off the court, an dhow he has reinvented himself to become an advisor, speaker, and a better father and husband.  BOOK A SPEAKER: Interested in having John or one of our speaking team come to your school, club or coaching event?

Airey Bros Radio – Episode 431 is a deep-dive on the real mechanics of modern college recruiting — not highlight reels and slogans, but the communication systems that shape commitments, retention, transfers, and culture.We're joined by Dan Tudor, founder of Tudor Collegiate Strategies and host of the College Recruiting Weekly Podcast, after a recommendation from Coach Steve Delgado (SWOCC Cross Country & Track). Dan has spent 20+ years helping college coaches and athletic departments build recruiting messaging that actually works — emails, letters, texts, phone calls, campus visits, and the “what happens next” process that recruits (and families) crave.In this episode, we break down:Why most coaches were never trained to recruit (and why recruiting is really sales + storytelling)The biggest recruiting mistake: coaches recruiting athletes the way they were recruitedWhy email is #1 for athletes (yes — in 2026)How to write a first message that feels real, personal, and response-worthyWhy letters are more powerful than ever (and how they influence families + decision-making)How to stay consistent without sounding like a used car salesmanWhy D3 can be a better financial deal than people think (academic aid, grants, packaging)Transfer portal recruiting: why it's more business decision than emotional decisionHow better communication reduces transfers and increases buy-in

Text and Be HeardWhat if recovery didn't feel like holding your breath, but like getting your life back? We're setting a clear course for the year: a deeper push into gambling recovery, stronger support for college mental health, and daily practices that turn emotional intelligence into your edge. The world is loud with sportsbooks, prediction markets, and “risk-free” promos; we unpack how the odds stack up, why chasing is a trap, and what it takes to step out of the loop for good.We share why abstinence alone rarely delivers peace, and how to build real freedom instead. That means anchoring your routines to natural dopamine and neuroplasticity, using tools like the Recovery Growth Scorecard, the 18-week Recovery Freedom Circle, and the Strong Leader, Strong Character course. We revisit the wisdom of 12-step work while challenging the fear that lingers when you only tick the boxes. The goal isn't counting days. The goal is a life where gambling doesn't register.We also lift the lens to where the pressure hits hardest: campuses flooded with betting ads and same-day thrills. Grades, aid, and mental health are on the line. We offer practical ways to push back, build resilience, and reclaim attention from the constant lure of quick wins. To plant seeds earlier, we preview our bilingual children's book, Discover My Feelings, and playful dances that give kids a vocabulary for emotions—because strong EQ in childhood grows stronger choices later.Season Eight is about depth, clarity, and action. Expect honest talk about the house edge, simple practices that actually move the needle, and a steady path toward total freedom from gambling. If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs it, and leave a review so more people can find a way out of the loop.Support the showRecovery is Beautiful.

Former U.S. Senator, former university president, and Senior Fellow at AEI Ben Sasse, joined The Guy Benson Show today to discuss a few stories surrounding falling education standards and collegiate athletics. One story involves new University of California San Diego report showing incoming freshmen lacking basic middle-school-level math skills, which he says reflects a much deeper national problem in education. Sasse and Benson also discussed Harvard's stunning grade inflation and the rise in students at elite schools claiming disabilities to gain academic advantages. Finally, Sasse and Benson discussed the current overcorrections in NIL and the college football playoff system need to be reined in to restore balance so that college sports does not remain a "junior professional sports league."

Did you miss us? Cause we missed you. We're inching closer to the end of Honey Deuce season, AKA: the end of the US Open. Coming out of the weekend, convos surrounding Naomi Osaka's return to dominance flooded our feeds. Her talents brought her this far, but we're convinced Billie Jean Bling and Althea Glitterson – her sparkly Labubu sidekicks – will bring her to the end. Plus, a recap on the first weekend in college football and a look ahead at week 1 of the NFL season. In this episode of Well Played, we also cover: How many Honey Deuces Blake spilled at the US Open Serena Williams' reaction to her sister's new doubles partner Who clipped another Dallas athlete's wings How Chapel Bill dropped the ball during his UNC debut  Why some people are calling Caitlin Clark's Nike logo “Temu Chanel”  Send Its:  Baby Stella at the US Open  Micah Parsons facetimes a fan The hairy and heavy-breathing ESPN analyst  Caitlin Clark's logo design Caroline's IG: @cghendy Blake's IG: @blaaakkkke theSkimm's IG: @theskimm PS: Did you know theSkimm has a sports newsletter?
