Send us a textProfessor Louis Moore joins Matt and Jeff to discuss his essential new book, The Great Black Hope: Doug Williams, Vince Evans and the Making of the Black Quarterback. Our engaging discussion with Lou took us deep into the history of Black quarterbacks and athletes in general in the NFL and he talks about the journey he took as he was writing the book. However much progress you might think has been made in the NFL (and beyond), this discussion -- and Lou's book -- will remind you that there's a lot that still needs to be addressed.Lou also shared his history as a music fan and the formative experiences he had as a listener growing up, and why Life is...Too $hort is still one of the most important albums in his collection.

Thank you for listening to this episode from my archives. Stay tuned for a refreshed podcast theme, new guests, and even artwork soon! Send me a DM on Instagram @melissallarena - I would love to hear your thoughts on this "best of episode." Originally from a small rural town in Georgia, Phaidra Knight, for nearly 18 years, traveled the globe as a professional rugby player, establishing herself as one of the premier players in the sport. In this episode, she shared the many unique experiences she had both on and off the field. And she explained how each athletic opportunity offered a new perspective and made her a better athlete. She also shared her passion for youth leadership and reminded us that even if we can impact one child out, that's one person who we have helped shape the trajectory of their life. Every single person deserves equality and the opportunity to feel limitless, especially children.  Phaidra has made three appearances in the Rugby World Cup and was selected as the top player in the world for her position in 2002 and 2006. In 2010, she was named the US Rugby Player of the Decade. Also, in 2010, she became an avid CrossFit competitor and, in 2013, a member of the United States Developmental Bobsled Team. And in November 2017, she was inducted into the World Rugby Hall of Fame.  Phaidra is currently embarking on a new athletic endeavor, perhaps the most ambitious one in her life. She has set out to become a World Champion Mixed Martial Artist by the time she becomes a half centurion. She started training as a mixed martial artist in June of 2019 and has been devoted fulltime to it since. She trains at the Renzo Gracie Academy in New York City.  Meanwhile, in 2019, Phaidra founded PeaK Unleashed, a non-profit organization devoted to cultivating youth leadership and development through Rugby with an emphasis on the incarcerated and sexually exploited populations. She is also a keynote and motivational speaker, and TV/Media sports broadcaster. She serves on the USA Rugby Board of Directors and the Board of Trustees for the Women's Sports Foundation. With a passion for fashion and a powerful voice in equality for girls and women in sports, Phaidra will launch the PSK Collective an inclusive apparel line in the fall of 2020. What's more, Phaidra will be making her big-screen debut later this year in the movie “Bruised,” starring and directed by Halle Berry. And later this spring, the Global Sports Institute of Arizona State University will film a documentary featuring Phaidra's life journey. All the while, Phaidra pursued law earlier on in her career at the University of Wisconsin. Phaidra is unstoppable and so inspiring on so many levels! Tune in to hear Phaidra's thoughts pertaining to: How the COVID-19 pandemic makes it clear that we need to obtain perspective and learn how we can do better in the future. (6:00) Phaidra talked about the moment she got the notice that she was inducted into the World Rugby Hall of Fame. (7:56) Phaidra answers the question, “Do the reasons to get into sports differ for girls (intrinsic) and boys (extrinsic)?” (9:47) Her journey as a power athlete who got into basketball earned a Hall of Fame title in Rugby, and explored bobsledding. (14:00) The contrasts and similarities carry over across various sports, including foot and hand positioning. (28:19) Training never stops even during a pandemic: Phaidra continues her MMA training and chooses to focus on the things she can control; she points to the folks in the Olympics and how she feels for them, given that in one year some of them won't be competing and fulfilling their dreams. (29:47) Youth leadership and the mission and purpose of PeaK Unleashed. (31:06) Phaidra talks of the influence and push by her family: I know their drive is the reason why I am a Rugby Hall of Famer….I was pushed as a kid...and that's why I am who I am!!! (36:19) Learn how your cooperation can support Phaidra's non-profit, PeaK Unleashed; there are many creative ways to pitch in. Find out how. (45:28) I ask Phaidra: What's your take on the low standards we place on inner-city or small-town kids with few resources?  Listen to hear how Phaidra thinks about the low expectations we put on some children.

Hey everybody, I'm Brian Clapp, VP of Content and Engaged Learning at WorkInSports.com and this is the Work In Sports podcast…It was March 11th that the NBA suspended their season and today is March 30th -- that's 19 days without sports, the longest I've ever gone in my life. It is for the greater good, but man this stinks. I hope you have all been doing the best you can with social distancing and quarantine. It is the right choice, and I hope you are all following the guidelines set out by the experts.I'm not making any political commentaries here when I say -- trust the experts. Ignore the fluff, and pageantry, focus on the medical experts and scientists. Moving right along -- we're trying to stay focused on the things you can be doing to advance yourself during this time of chaos.We are ramping up our content -- on Mondays, we'll do our standard answer a fan question. ON Wednesday's expert interview...and then we're adding a Friday edition, which will either be a piece of advice relevant to our current world and situation or will be a timely guest. So far we've had special guests Kenneth Shropshire, CEO of the Global Sports Institute, I've done an episode on networking during the global pandemic, and just this past Friday I had on Greg Hylton, VP of Premium Seating with the NFL.I have to tell you, Greg's one of my new favorite interviews and I hope you all have listened or will go back and listen to it today.Why this episode?Well, Greg works in the NFL, the one league with a season ahead - so his perspective is unique right now.He also really knows the importance of revenue-generating roles, and how they will be in great demand when we come out of thisWe talk about the smaller leagues can survive this, the strategy teams may use to make up the revenue shortfall, how attending games may have to change… and more. It was an awesome conversation, please check it out. Today, we're going to handle what has become a very very common question.  I've received this question in various formats about 1,000 times now -- “Hey brian, what can I be doing right now to advance my career prospects?”I've talked about networking during this time, I've talked about learning a skill that you don't have, I've talked about online courses and training, especially in sales because that is where the demand will be.Today I want to talk about conducting a self-audit. I know, this sounds awful. Aa self-audit sounds like a root canal. I need to come up with some better branding. All it really is, is getting a deeper understanding of yourself, and how you match up with the needs of the marketplace.  Step 1: The Heat Check Step 2: The resume review Step 3: Cover letterStep 4: Informational interviews

Hey everybody, I'm Brian Clapp VP of Content and Engaged Learning at WorkInSports.com and this is the Work In Sports podcast…As promised we're going to continue adding an extra podcast a week as we deal with social isolation and distancing. Our Friday podcasts will aim to inform and educate you specifically on how our current situation is affecting the future of the industry or techniques and strategies you can utilize right now in this unique time.I don't know about you but time seems to be drifting into itself right now, I don't know what day it is since they all seem the same. But, I am marking time personally based on podcast publish dates and I remember our last three Fridays pretty clearly -- The first Friday episode was an interview with Kenneth Shropshire CEO of the Global Sports Institute - he had deep insight into what this pandemic will mean for the sports industry moving forward. Last Friday we discussed ways to maximize your networking during this time ...and today, I have another special guest, Greg Hylton VP of Premium Seating for the Indianapolis Colts.Couple of major reasons I wanted to have Greg on.1: The NFL season is still in play, which means Greg is living a new reality right now and he can explain it.2: He can also explain what is going on inside of the teams and leagues that aren't playing right now and what their strategies may be moving forward when we get back to work.3: I believe revenue-generating roles will be in high demand once normalcy returns, and that all of you should strongly consider sales training courses right now… and Greg teaches a sales training course with our friends at Sports Management Worldwide.So without further ado, let's get to Greg..here he is Indianapolis Colts VP of Premium Seating, Greg Hylton...Questions for Greg Hylton, Indianapolis Colts VP of Premium Seating1: Wednesday, March 11 the NBA suspended their season, and since that time most other leagues have followed suit, it would take us too long to name all the events or seasons that have been affected.Your league, the NFL, hasn't had to suspend the season as of yet – what has the last 2-3 weeks been like for you personally and professionally?2: This time of year, with free agency and the draft coming up there is a natural excitement that I'm sure would play a role in your ability to sell the upcoming season – in a normal year Phillip Rivers signing would be something you'd market and get behind – has the approach changed this off-season?3: While there is minimal disruption to the revenue streams of the NFL as of yet, put yourself in the shoes of the VP of Premium Seating for the Pacers, or the Cleveland Indians… what would you imagine their situation is like right now?4: When we get back to sports, if you were in one of the leagues that had to cancel their season, and lost a lot of revenue – what would be your strategy and approach?5: Prior to joining the Colts 28 years ago, you worked for the Indianapolis Ice of the International Hockey League – I'm guessing that the NBA, NHL and other major leagues will survive this epidemic -- but what about the minor leagues, independent leagues, emerging sports – do you think they can rebound from the loss of revenue?6: I'm old enough to remember sports after 9/11 – there was a feeling in the initial aftermath that nothing will be the same, we won't be safe at games, fans won't come back etc, etc. but we got back to reality, sports continued to thrive – people came to the games.Do you see a steady return to normalcy once the worst of this has passed – or do you think it'll take some convincing to get fans back to the stadium?6: What can teams do to ease any concerns and make it really worthwhile to attend games in person?7: I've been being asked all week by people who have lost their job or been laid off, what they should do now? And I'm of the belief revenue-creating sales jobs will be in even higher demand than normal coming out of this and that people should get sales...

Hey everybody, I'm Brian Clapp, VP of Content and Engaged Learning at WorkInSports.com and this is the Work In Sports podcast.A little housekeeping before we head into this episode… at WorkInSports we had multiple leadership meetings last week to say “what can we do that helps”...well here it is, you are the first to hear our plan.#1 We are ramping up our content, because I think right now, in social isolation, we all need it. We're going to do three podcasts a week -- Mondays and Fridays will be focused on surviving and thriving in these nutty times as it relates to your career. So for example, I've done episodes on how to properly work from home, interviewed Kenneth Shropshire CEO of the Global Sports Institute, advice for conducting video interviews and more. If you haven't listened to those yet, you should, it's all very timely information.On Wednesdays we will stick with our expert interviews -- for right now they are not going to be coronavirus related --  these will be more of the normal career-focused expertise. ~ I'll also be very active on our private Facebook group -- which you can join by searching for the WorkInSports podcast group on facebook...answer a few questions, and I'll grant you access to this wonderful network of former guests, and aspiring sports professionals who are all trying to help each other get ahead and survive.~ And if you reach out to me on LinkedIn, I'm going to try and do an even better job of being responsive and helpful during this time. #2: You are hearing everywhere, and I couldn't agree more, to be honest, that now isn't a time to sit on the couch, wallowing in self-pity, or watching Stephen A Smith -- times are not that desperate. Everyone on the advice side of the industry is telling you -- learn a new skill, master your craft, use your time wisely...and that is good advice.To that point -- One way you can do that is through our Work In Sports Academy courses. We are 100% online, which is the appropriate distance - and you'll learn incredible strategies tactics and techniques that will get you hired in sports -- once the world gets back to normal.In fact, over the last week, I built out an abridged version of this curriculum which in the next few days we are going to be giving away for FREE to all of our current members with either free or paid accounts. All you have to do is upload your resume.We did this to help. We are in this together. The full coursework is available at WorkInSports.com/academyand like I said, we'll be making a essentials version available for free coming this week.#3 We also recognize that many of you who had part-time or gig type jobs at events are now out of work. So, starting later this week we will be making all gig and part-time jobs free to access for anyone on our job board. We'll send out more info on this as it comes live… but if you are struggling right now due to this outbreak and isolation, check out the free PT and gig jobs...and you can contact our customer service at 1-855-220-JOBS#4 We are also doing our best to keep up with the status of all jobs. We're double-checking openings to make sure they are still being filled. Now, with that said, things are changing very rapidly, so cut us some slack if you hit a job on our site, follow the link to apply and find out it's no longer available.We're doing our best, to keep up.Alright - we'll keep coming up with new ways to help in the coming weeks, for now, let's get into today's subject.“What can I be doing during social isolation?” -- You can be networking. This is a GREAT time to be relationship building and doing informational interviews. Right now, countless sports industry workers are sitting at home unable to perform their normal tasks… I keep seeing pictures of various friends of the podcast, like Chris Grosse, Assistant Athletic Director for Marketing at Penn State, making marble races with his kids and putting twitter polls out there asking which will win? His track of his sons?

I let my homebound 11-year-old name this episode, and I think he nailed it. That's what we're talking about in the special edition of the Work In Sports podcast, working from home like a boss!  Hey It's Brian -- we are in some crazy times right now. No one predicted a sports shutdown, or the education system being closed for business. But here we are. I have three kids at home right now, who should be in middle and elementary school! But you know what we are doing -- we're continuing to keep them on a learning schedule...and you should do that too.Now is the chance to update your resume, work on your network, make sure you are ready for video interviews and more. And one way you can do that is through our Work In Sports Academy courses. We are 100% online, which is the appropriate distance - and you'll learn incredible strategies tactics and techniques that will get you hired in sports -- once the world gets back to normal.Check out WorkInSports.com/academy for more details. ---Hey everybody, I'm Brian Clapp VP of Content and Engaged Learning at WorkInSports.com and this is a special edition of the Work In Sports podcast.Our goal during the coronavirus outbreak and isolation is to provide additional content that will help you through this time. I, like you, am dying for content! I want fresh things to watch and listen to, that don't involve Tom Brady leaving my beloved Patriots. I mean seriously, could this be a worse week?Anyway, the point is, we're going to add a Friday podcast for the time being -- it may be a timely interview, like last week with Kenneth Shropshire CEO of the Global Sports Institute, or it may be insightful advice that is very specific to the times today. Today we're going to share some tips on working from home. As many of you know, and many of you don't, I've been working from home for the last 6 years. WorkInSports.com is based in Phoenix, I live in Philadelphia. It took me a long time to get comfortable with the change in normalcy, but you don't have time… you have to get good at it now, so I'm going to share some things I have learned to make your transition easier. 1: You are saving time on your commute -- don't just add that to your workday. The biggest mistake I see people make when they work from home is to add the time they saved in commuting onto their workday. They think to themselves -- I get an hour back each day, I'll finally be able to get more done!Trust me, this is not how it works. Take the time you saved by not having to commute and sprinkle it into outside time. Here's why -- when you work from home, especially during the transition to this new style, you go from being around people, noise, interaction, laughter, yelling... to being completely by yourself. It can feel lonely in a way, and the solution is NOT locking yourself in and working longer. This makes you a robot, you are not a robot. In fact, you need to remind yourself you are not a robot, by sprinkling that saved time back into your day. If you normally commute 30 minutes each way, you have an hour to sprinkle throughout your day to activate your mind in a different way.  Every hour or two, take 15 minutes and walk around. Get out of your space, get off your computer screen. In a normal workday in the office, you don't sit in front of your computer the whole time. Don't start thinking you have to now. Trust me there is a negative return after a while… I think they call that the point of diminishing returns?2: Going deeper there -- Make yourself a schedule.I spend the first 30 minutes of each day building out my day. I prioritize what I want to get done and schedule it out amongst the video meetings and breaks I want to take. Every day is different, it's not routine, there are different challenges and tasks… but by giving myself some structure helps me stay on task. When you are home there are easy distractions -- other parts of life you can get done -- laundry, cleaning, cooking -- First Take. OK, that's a lie,

Hey everybody, I'm Brian Clapp VP of Content and Engaged learning for WorkInSports.com and this is a special edition of the Work in Sports podcast.We're in a very unique situation right now with the Coronavirus outbreak changing the landscape of the sports industry minute by minute. Multiple sports leagues and long-standing events are being suspended if not outright canceled in an effort to isolate and calm the spread of this deadly outbreak. Star players we know and root for, Hollywood actors, heads of state are coming out as infected by this virus responsible for the COVID-19 disease. I want to be clear, we are not panicked, we are looking to the future. These cancellations and suspensions will have an impact on the business of sports and it's time to discuss and prepare for the ramifications.---Joining me today to discuss the short and long term effects of the coronavirus outbreak is professor Kenneth Shropshire. Mr. Shropshire is the CEO of the Global Sports Institue at Arizona State, and has held consultative roles with the NCAA, Major League Baseball, NFL, NFLPA and the United States Olympic Committee -- Dr. Shropshire thank you for joining me. --This conversation can break into two different categories – we aren't doctors so we won't speculate on the virus itself – but we can discuss what this means for the now, and what this means for the future.Let's start with the now.Questions for Dr. Kenneth Shropshire, CEO of the Global Sports Institute on the Economic Impact of Coronavirus on the Sports Industry1: Is the decision to suspend the seasons of the NHL, NBA, MLB, March Madness and other major events like the Masters and the EPL the very definition of discretion being the better part of valor?  Is this the right move?2: When leagues do the prudent thing and suspend play, there is an affected class of daily workers. Do the leagues and ownership bear any responsibilities to these workers who depend on these roles for their survival?3: In the short term, outside of game day staff, will this lead to further-reaching layoffs across sports?4: Outside of the teams and leagues themselves, who do you see being most affected economically by the suspension of play?5: Major leagues will survive this, but what about smaller leagues with razor-thin margins for success – like the XFL? the Professional Lacrosse League? Lower-division soccer leagues throughout Europe?6: I wonder also about the mental health of the athletes themselves – especially college athletes. Men and women competing for championships one day and then the next it is over, or players set to start their spring season, and then poof, that part of their identity is gone – how damaging can this be to them?7: Looking forward to when teams and leagues return to play because eventually, they will. Do you think they'll try to make up the lost revenue, or will they have to go the other way and incentivize people to come back?8: When will we start to see the broader economic impact? Obviously, the stock market is affected immediately, but what about employment? When will the decrease in revenue start to affect jobs and opportunities moving forward?9: The NCAA tournament brings in over 900 million in revenue to the NCAA – take $900 million of revenue out of the pocket of NCAA athletics – who will this affect most in the long run?10: I've seen it written that Corona is more likely to have a worse economic impact in the US than China – primarily because of our societies propensity to spend their discretionary dollars on social gathering spots like sports, fitness centers, concerts, restaurants --If this consumer spending stops for a long period of time, will the US potentially face greater challenges in recovery than other countries?11: After 9/11 there was a massive change in security at arenas – do you foresee any major changes in the way arenas and stadiums are operated after Coronavirus?12: During the last recession The Economist stated that “Sports in particular are,

Kenneth Shropshire, CEO of the Global Sports Institute at Arizona State University joins the Work in Sports podcast to discuss the future of our industryHey it's Brian before we start today's podcast episode with Kenneth Shropshire CEO of the Global Sport Institute … let's talk about, the master's program at the University of Dubuque!If you've been considering getting a masters with a foundation in business, but an emphasis in sports, the Masters in Management - Sports Management at the University of Dubuque could be your perfect mix.I've long state my personal preference is for Masters in Sports Management to be rooted in business, since that is the language of our world. Sports is just another big business, but in a much cooler package if you ask me. The University of Dubuque program offers face-to-face or online options and is just a 30-credit hour program, so it can be completed in 1 year! The curriculum is focused on building leaders in the sports world and includes integrated field experience and professional development opportunities. Check out the University of Dubuque's program - visit dbq.edu/mmsm Now let's start the countdown…Hi everybody, I'm Brian Clapp, Director of Content for WorkInSports.com and this is the Work in Sports podcastSometimes we act like sports is settled science. Athletes play games, fans buy tickets and t-shirts, coaches coach, trainers nurture, businesses buy suites and entertain clients -- it's the circle of sports.But in reality, there is much more than that going on in the business of sports. Sure we all still care about the box score of last nights game, we want to know why Kawhi Leonard is able to do what he does, how Tom Brady seems to defy the laws of aging and understand the rise of the Minnesota Twins… but in all honesty, sometimes that's the superficial part of the industry. Yes, it's the most important, without games and achievements and stars there wouldn't be anything else. But, we should be proud that there is much more to contemplate. The sports product is more than beefcakes running fast and jumping high, there are intricacies and impacts that need to be studied and better understood.But sports is much more than the elite, it's also the everyday. The athletes that aren't on TV, still have questions that need answering - like should your child play football with a concussion? What are the chances your child can become a pro athlete? Should you drink Gatorade instead of water?The communities who support teams have questions - like should the public fund a new stadium in their city? And why aren't more Latina girls participating in sports?These are the types of questions the Global Sport Institute at Arizona State University sets out to solve through research. But this isn't the type of research that gets passed around from scholar to scholar never making a real impact, it's the type that is filtered down into the communities and to the people that need them most. One of the massive advantages of the Global Sports Institue is that it works cross-functionally with other departments within Arizona State, from engineering to sociology, to the athletic department and beyond. That's how they achieve the real depth of knowledge and game-changing research abilities.At the head of this program is Global Sport Institute CEO and this week's guest, Kenneth Shropshire. It's funny, I'm 44 years old, so I don't generally refer to people as Mr. or Mrs. that often -- I usually go first name and am comfortable with that. But Kenneth Shropshire is a Mr. Shropshire… he is a commanding presence with a global impact over his 40 years in the sports industry. We'll get into his impressive background during the interview, but know this… if you hear me call him Kenneth, it was because he asked me to… I kept wanting to call him Mr. Shropshire, out of respect for his worldly accomplishments as they relate to race, college sports, sports agency and so much more… Here he is, Mr. Kenneth Shropshire,
