Podcasts about juniors

We're back for 2026, and this week Sam, English Dan, Andrés, Santi B and Santi S look back over the summer break and the main transfer moves in Argentina and look forward to 2026 in Argentine football, including discussing whether anyone should really care about the league this year.

Ashley Hobson joins Steve Smith and Dave Anderson to discuss coach mentorship, player development, and building athletes from the inside out. Hobson shares his path from South Africa and Lesotho into elite coaching, including formative years with Dennis Van der Meer and a decade with Peter Burwash, experiences that shaped his progression-based approach and emphasis on professionalism.Episode 283 covers what has changed in junior tennis, including the rise of early “teams” around young players, the value of long-term coach player relationships, and why post-match evaluation and character-driven habits matter as much as technique.

Laurel Ridge Community College isn't just accepting applications—it's actively dismantling the barriers that keep people from pursuing their educational dreams. In this episode of The Valley Today, host Janet Michael talks with Guy Curtis, the college's Director of Marketing, and Brandy Hawkins Boies, Director of PR and Special Events, to explore how accessible higher education has become in the Shenandoah Valley. The conversation reveals a striking truth: whether you're a high school junior, a parent returning to the workforce, a professional seeking advancement, or even a retiree looking for a new challenge, Laurel Ridge has carved out a space for you. Moreover, the college has systematically addressed the most common objections that prevent people from walking through their doors. No Prerequisites, No Judgment "You literally have to know nothing about college to get started," Brandy emphasizes, addressing one of the most pervasive fears potential students harbor. She encourages prospective students to ignore the academic jargon and forget about needing to sound scholarly. Instead, the college meets people exactly where they are. Throughout her tenure at Laurel Ridge, Brandy has witnessed an extraordinary range of students succeed. "I've seen valedictorians graduate from high school and come here to Laurel Ridge," she explains. "We've also seen individuals that have been through unimaginable struggles in their life—maybe they took a wrong turn or maybe life just was very unkind to them." The common thread? Once these individuals found the courage to walk through the door, the college took their hand and guided them toward success. Furthermore, age presents no barrier whatsoever. The college serves everyone from dual-enrolled high schoolers to graduates in their eighties. As Brandy notes, "There is no age limit here at Laurel Ridge at all." Pathways That Make Sense Guy Curtis highlights one of the college's most valuable features: its pathway system. Rather than forcing students to commit to a specific career before they're ready, Laurel Ridge offers structured pathways that help students explore their options while making progress toward a credential. These pathways align with in-demand careers in the region, ensuring that graduates find relevant employment opportunities. Additionally, the programs remain "future-proof" in an era of rapid technological change. Guy points to healthcare, IT, skilled trades, advanced manufacturing, engineering, and education as fields where Laurel Ridge prepares students for long-term, rewarding careers with meaningful wages. For traditional students planning to transfer to a four-year institution, Laurel Ridge provides an ideal starting point. However, the college equally serves those seeking quick certifications to re-enter the workforce or gain a promotion. This flexibility allows the institution to meet diverse needs within a single community. The Financial Reality: Surprisingly Affordable When Janet raises the inevitable question about cost, Guy delivers encouraging news. Laurel Ridge charges approximately one-third the price of most four-year institutions. Beyond this baseline affordability, however, numerous funding sources make education even more accessible. Multiple Funding Streams The college helps students navigate a complex landscape of financial support, including: Federal financial aid provides the foundation for many students. Meanwhile, G3 tuition assistance targets high-demand fields like healthcare, IT, education, engineering, and public service, helping Virginians pursue careers that employers desperately need to fill. Although Fast Forward funding has faced reduced state support due to its popularity, local entities have stepped up to fill the gap. The Winchester Economic Development Authority now offers scholarships for city residents, while the Frederick County Economic Development Authority contributes additional funding. Other sources include the Hazel Family Fund, the Building the Future Fund, and various locality scholarships throughout the region. Remarkably, families of four earning up to $128,000 annually—400% of the poverty rate—typically qualify for classes at no cost through G3 and other funding sources. Guy emphasizes that many eligible students never come forward because they assume they won't qualify. "Asking for someone to help you navigate those options is the first big step," he advises. The Dual Enrollment Advantage High school students gain an even more compelling opportunity. Juniors and seniors can earn their first 30 credits at no charge through dual enrollment. This head start not only saves money but also accelerates degree completion. Guy explains the strategic advantage: "If you get those 15 credits to start with at no cost within your high school, but look to move to a degree or applied program at the college, you're already off on a great starting point." Students graduate high school with college credits already completed, positioning themselves to finish an associate's degree quickly and affordably. The Two-Year Degree Advantage Janet recalls a conversation with Jeff Sinclair, a veteran who attended Laurel Ridge before transferring to Shenandoah University's pharmacy program. His insight resonated deeply: students who start at a four-year institution and leave after two years walk away with education but no credential. In contrast, Laurel Ridge students earn an associate's degree after two years, providing a tangible qualification and a foundation for future advancement. Brandy's daughter exemplifies this pathway. After taking dual enrollment classes in high school, she completed her associate's degree at Laurel Ridge in just one additional year for under $5,000. Now pursuing her bachelor's degree online through Old Dominion University, the family appreciates having only two years of four-year tuition bills rather than four. Additionally, Brandy emphasizes a crucial fact: college credits never expire. A potential student who took classes in the 1980s still retains those credits, which can be applied toward current degree requirements. This permanence means that education remains an asset throughout one's entire life. Flexibility for Real Lives Recognizing that students juggle multiple responsibilities, Laurel Ridge offers extensive scheduling flexibility. The college provides online programs in business administration, computer science, education, general studies, liberal arts, social justice, and numerous other fields. These fully online options appeal to today's students, who increasingly prefer remote learning. For programs requiring hands-on experience, hybrid formats blend online coursework with in-person sessions. Students might meet on campus once weekly while completing the remaining work online. This approach proves particularly effective in skilled trades programs, where students combine bookwork at home with hands-on learning in the classroom, actually speeding up program completion. Evening and weekend options accommodate working professionals. Janet mentions the CDL program specifically, which offers classes during non-traditional hours to fit around work schedules. Whether you're a stay-at-home parent who can only study after the kids are in bed or a full-time employee seeking advancement, Laurel Ridge structures programs around your life. Comprehensive Support Services Beyond academics and affordability, Laurel Ridge has built what Brandy calls "a remarkable support community." These services address the real-world challenges that can derail educational goals. The Cub House This kid-friendly space opened last year, providing a solution for student parents. While not a daycare—parents must remain with their children—the Cub House offers a place where kids can play while parents study, meet with professors, or work on group projects. This simple accommodation removes a significant barrier for parents pursuing education. Food Pantry and Basic Needs Located in Cornerstone Hall on the Middletown campus, the food pantry stocks food, hygiene products, and clothing. Importantly, students face no questions or paperwork requirements. If you need food, you simply take it. This no-barrier approach ensures that basic needs don't prevent academic success. TRIO Program This federally funded program serves first-generation college students, low-income students, and students with disabilities. If you qualify for any one of these three categories, you can access additional support services designed to help you succeed. Free Tutoring Brandy shares a secret: "The A+ students, their secret is they got help, they got tutoring. They weren't ashamed to ask." The college provides free tutoring services, recognizing that seeking help demonstrates strength, not weakness. Furthermore, the college hires students as tutors, creating employment opportunities while supporting academic success. Social Work Services A full-time social worker now serves on campus, connecting students with community resources. Whatever obstacle you face—housing insecurity, transportation challenges, childcare needs, or other life circumstances—the social worker helps you find solutions. As Brandy explains, "Our main goal is to help get you to your goal of walking across the stage with your degree." Career Coaches in Every High School For high school students and their parents, career coaches stationed in guidance offices provide the first point of contact. These Laurel Ridge employees offer unbiased guidance about all college options, not just Laurel Ridge programs. They help students explore interests and potential career paths, making the transition from high school to college less daunting. Professional Development and Workforce Solutions Laurel Ridge extends beyond traditional degree programs to serve working professionals and employers. The Continuing Education and Professional Development division offers courses ranging from four-hour workshops to longer online programs. These options help individuals upskill for promotions or learn new competencies like AI literacy. Corporate training programs allow employers to develop their workforce. Companies can send employees to leadership courses or specialized training, keeping teams engaged and informed about best practices and emerging technologies. Guy highlights the new AI Immersive Tech program, a six-month certification course that equips students with AI technology, data tools, and digital skills. Looking ahead, the college will host the Laurel Ridge AI Summit on April 1st from 8:00 AM to noon, showcasing AI resources for both individuals and employers seeking to enhance their workforce capabilities. Getting Started: Simpler Than You Think Despite all these opportunities, the first step remains remarkably simple. You can walk into any campus—Middletown, the Fauquier campus in Warrenton, or the Page Center in Luray—and someone will help you. Alternatively, you can call or visit the website at laurelridge.edu. The Career Coach Site For those hesitant to make initial contact, Guy recommends starting with the Career Coach site, accessible from the homepage under "Explore Careers." This free resource allows you to browse in-demand careers in the region, marked with flame emojis for the hottest opportunities. You can take skill assessments—ranging from six to sixty questions—to identify careers that align with your interests and abilities. The site also displays real job openings from local employers like Valley Health, showing actual positions, required qualifications, and salary ranges. You can even drop a pin on specific locations—Luray, Warrenton, or even Washington, DC—to see opportunities in your preferred area. Employers can post jobs at no cost, connecting directly with students and community members exploring career options. Information Sessions and Tours Brandy's outreach team regularly hosts information sessions, both online and in person. The college also conducts open houses for specific programs, giving prospective students detailed insights into particular fields. You can schedule a guided tour or simply show up for a self-guided walk through the facilities. As Janet jokes, you might even run into President Kim Blaiser wandering the halls, ready to point you in the right direction. Guy confirms this welcoming culture: "Everyone in the college has that kind of heart of service. Regardless of who you are, whether you're maintenance or the president, they're gonna show you where you are and where you need to go." A New Year, A New You As Guy emphasizes, the new year presents the perfect opportunity for transformation—whether that means becoming a new you, a new employee, or simply a more skilled version of yourself. The first step involves reaching out and talking to someone at the college. Laurel Ridge has systematically addressed the barriers that keep people from pursuing education: cost, scheduling conflicts, lack of support services, uncertainty about career paths, and fear of not being "college material." By removing these obstacles, the college has created an environment where success becomes not just possible but probable. The stories Brandy and Guy share—from valedictorians to individuals overcoming tremendous hardships, from teenagers to octogenarians—demonstrate that Laurel Ridge truly serves all walks of life. The common denominator isn't prior achievement or perfect circumstances. Instead, it's simply the courage to walk through the door and say, "I want something better." From that moment forward, Laurel Ridge takes your hand and guides you toward your goal. With affordable tuition, flexible scheduling, comprehensive support services, and programs aligned with real career opportunities, the college has created a pathway to success that works for virtually anyone willing to take that first step. The question isn't whether Laurel Ridge can work for you. The evidence suggests it can. The real question is: what are you waiting for?

In this legal-focused edition of The Rainmaking Podcast, Scott Love welcomes back Elise Holtzman of The Lawyer's Edge for part two of their conversation—this time on how lawyers can get speaking, panel, and writing opportunities. Elise explains that doing great work isn't enough; if you're “toiling away in obscurity,” clients and referral sources won't find you. Thought leadership—speaking, writing, panels—is a practical way to demonstrate value, answer the questions that keep clients up at night, and be seen as a credible authority without “bragging.” She stresses that opportunities rarely appear out of nowhere; early on, you must be proactive and deliberate about who you speak to, what you speak about, and where your audience gets its information (your “who, what, and where”). Elise walks through practical steps for both associates and partners. Juniors can co-author articles with partners, contribute to firm content, and speak for young-lawyer groups or bar sections to build skills early, instead of waiting until partnership pressure hits. She breaks down the advantages of panels (shared spotlight, conversational format, built-in networking) and describes how repeated speaking and writing gradually position you as the go-to expert in a crowded market. For writing, Elise suggests targeting publications your clients actually read, reviewing writer guidelines, pitching editors before drafting, and understanding who owns the IP so you can repurpose content on your website or LinkedIn. She closes with three action steps: (1) clarify your who/what/where before chasing opportunities; (2) be proactive—tell people you want to speak and write and work with marketing/PR if your firm has them; and (3) experiment with different formats, set a realistic cadence (e.g., quarterly), and build a body of work that consistently showcases your expertise.

TigerTalk turns its attention to adult education in Mississippi as Marketing and Public Relations Specialist Liz Calvery meets with Northeast president Dr. Ricky G. Ford for an in-depth look at one of the state's strongest programs. Calvery leads the conversation as Ford highlights how Northeast's award-winning approach serves as a model for colleges across the Magnolia State. Their discussion explains how adult education supports individuals who did not complete high school and often faced setbacks that kept them from earning a credential. Ford outlines why adult education plays a key role in strengthening Mississippi's workforce. Programs focus on literacy and practical work skills that can help drive economic growth, though he notes the need for sustainable funding to meet the scale of demand. Current estimates show 301,301 Mississippians lack a high school diploma, and statewide programs helped 8,465 people reach that milestone last year. Challenges remain significant. Many students enter reading at a third-grade level or below, and 97 percent fall under an eighth-grade learning level. Ford details how programs like Northeast's work to close those gaps and offer a pathway toward long-term success for learners and communities across the state. Plus, get the latest updates on athletics, academics, workforce development, and all the incredible things happening at one of the nation's premier community colleges.

Northeast Mississippi Community College President Dr. Ricky G. Ford and Marketing and Public Relations Specialist Liz Calvery look at how student feedback shapes leadership on campus. Ford reflects on a key lesson he has learned from listening to students and how their input plays a part in guiding tough decisions. He points out that colleges must adjust their expectations as each new group of students arrives with different needs and priorities. Their conversation includes Ford's take on the familiar phrase “Back when I was in college,” and why educators cannot rely on what worked years ago. He explains that meeting today's students where they are means building programs and services that fit a new generation's outlook.
