Send a textIn this powerful and deeply thoughtful conversation, Joey Pinz sits down with Siddharth “Sid” Karnati, a 16-year-old TEDx speaker, student author, and advocate for youth mental health. What unfolds is a remarkably mature discussion on sports as therapy, emotional resilience, and why performance without well-being is a dangerous trap—especially for teens and parents alike.Sid shares how athletics became his emotional outlet during periods of academic pressure, stress, and uncertainty, giving him structure, connection, and clarity when life felt overwhelming. He explains why consistency matters more than intensity, how team sports create belonging, and why individual sports teach personal accountability.The conversation expands into urgent topics like rising teen suicide rates, social media pressure, burnout culture in schools, and how small routines can protect long-term mental health. Sid also opens up about writing his book Life Is More Than Grades, launching Spectrum Guardians to support neurodiverse students, and using his voice to advocate for empathy-driven leadership.This episode is a reminder that strength isn't about pushing harder—it's about building habits that keep you present, healthy, and connected.

“God could not be everywhere, so he created Mothers.” This adage could not ring more true when it comes to the life of C.J. Taylor. Her life story could be made into an Oscar-winning biopic, and believe me, it's just a matter of time. She is a divorced single mom of three, an attorney, and a football coach with over 20 years of experience - she is the first female coach in the Snoop Dogg's youth football league, is the Former Director of Football Operations and Assistant Coach at Los Angeles Southwest College, and was an the Junior Varsity HEAD COACH and Assistant Coach on Varsity at Verbum Dei High School, a private all boys school in southern California. She has generated more than 45 millions dollars, sending hundreds of student-athletes to college on scholarships with over 300 NCAA programs including with Marist College, Univ. of Texas, TCU, Vanderbilt, FAMU, LSU, CAL, Boise State, USC, UCLA, Notre Dame, Syracuse and more. She has single handedly raised three tremendously successful children: her daughter Mi-Calynn is a California State Licensed Nurse who is on the front line during the COVID pandemic. Caylin is a 2017 Rhodes Scholar, 2014 Fulbright Scholar, D-1 Student-Athlete and graduate of Texas Christian University, 2019 graduate of Oxford University, a current PhD candidate, and author of the NY Times bestselling memoir, A Dream Too Big. Last but not least Chase Moore, an Archer Fellow, Children's Defense Fund recipient, and a recent D1Student-Athlete at the University of Texas at Austin victor of the 2019 Sugar Bowl, and member of the AFCA Allstate Good Works Team. Though the family has witnessed many glory days, life has not been easy. As written in an ESPN profile by Senior Writer Adam Rittenberg, CJ shares, "We used to have a five-bath, four-bedroom house and seven vehicles. We had what looked like the Cosby life. It was like a Monet: From a distance, it looked beautiful, but up close, it was all messed up." Inside those walls, C.J.'s now ex-husband, Louis Moore, was psychologically abusive toward her. She twice saw him physically abuse Caylin, who was just 2 at the time. In 2000, she left him, taking the children to live with her mother in Carson, on the border of Compton. She filed for divorce but still feared for their safety. She always told her kids: “We may live in the hood, but the hood doesn't live in us.”In 2004, she went to the hospital for heart surgery and came back in even worse shape. She was assaulted while being sedated, and later slipped into a depression. In 2009, her ex-husband was convicted of murder. He had a drunken argument with his girlfriend and fatally shot her with a rifle. After weeks of her kids feeding her and bathing her, her middle child told her, “Get up, Mom. You've got to live. You've got three kids. We need you!” That's exactly what she did and she continues to give every bit of her soul to her children every single day. Today, I am honored to welcome CJ Taylor and her youngest son Chase Moore to the show. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Welcome to Church Pew Sports Ep 199 - NIL Hits High School: Faith, Fairness & the Future of Student-Athletes Name, Image, and Likeness has officially arrived in Michigan high school sports—and it's opening the door to big questions that go far beyond the playing field. In this episode of Church Pew Sports, the conversation centers on what NIL really means for student-athletes, schools, families, and communities, and how these changes challenge us to think carefully about integrity, fairness, and purpose. With special guest Lorne Plante from State Champs Network, the discussion explores how the Michigan High School Athletic Association is navigating NIL with intentionally narrow rules designed to protect education-based athletics. While only a small percentage of high school athletes are likely to benefit, the ripple effects could be significant—especially when it comes to recruiting concerns, enforcement challenges, and the growing pressure on young athletes to build a personal brand.  The episode also shifts to the national stage with a timely Super Bowl preview, breaking down the unique challenges of the biggest game in sports, from coaching experience to the business machine behind Super Bowl week. Along the way, there's room for lighter moments—Super Bowl snacks, sports gripes, and honest takes on where professional sports sometimes lose their moral compass. As always, Church Pew Sports connects the dots between sports, faith, and everyday life—reminding listeners that purpose, character, and calling matter far more than name recognition or financial opportunity.   This week's CPS Starting Host Lineup: Bill Hobson David Collins --------- Did you know you can now WATCH Church Pew Sports on our new YOUTUBE Channel?

We're off for the New Year holiday, so we're serving up an encore presentation of a Talking Tax podcast about challenges with paying student athletes. Ever since student athletes gained the right to be compensated for use of their image in advertisements and merchandise sales, the money has flooded in, but so have some problems. The athletes can now be compensated for their name, image, and likeness—or NIL—but schools still can't directly pay them for playing. Instead, athletes can receive compensation when merchandise with their name or number is sold, or for showing up in advertisements or social media posts for businesses. But the line between legitimate NIL and illegitimate pay-for-play can get blurry. On this episode of Talking Tax, University of Kentucky professor Stephen Lusch talks with reporter Caleb Harshberger about how transfer pricing and tax law concepts can show whether the deals are done at reasonable prices that really reflect the value the student brings.

Visit https://teachhoops.com/ for basketball coaching resources, practice plans, and tools designed to help you manage every aspect of your program, from X's and O's to student-athlete development. In this episode, we tackle two of the most challenging responsibilities that fall on high school basketball coaches: navigating player injuries and monitoring academic eligibility. These aren't just administrative tasks—they're fundamental to your duty of care as an educator and mentor who impacts young people's futures far beyond the basketball court. We discuss practical systems for injury prevention, communication protocols with athletic trainers and parents, and the difficult decisions around playing time when athletes are recovering. You'll learn how to create a culture where players feel safe reporting injuries rather than hiding them, and how to manage the pressure from parents, players, and even administrators when star athletes are sidelined. We also explore the critical importance of tracking academic progress throughout the season, not just at eligibility check dates, and strategies for intervening early when student-athletes start struggling in the classroom. This episode provides frameworks for balancing your competitive goals with long-term student welfare. We'll cover how to build relationships with teachers and counselors, create study hall structures that actually work, and communicate effectively with families when academic or injury concerns arise. Whether you're dealing with a player hiding a nagging ankle injury before playoffs or a senior whose eligibility hangs in the balance, you'll gain concrete strategies to handle these situations with wisdom, compassion, and accountability that serves your players' best interests.

We are thrilled to introduce a new partnership for our Study & Play USA families: The Hidden Opponent! Listen as we sit down with NCAA Division I runner Vicky Datta from The Hidden Opponent to unpack the hidden realities of college sport as an international and the power of a community that says 'it's okay not to be okay'.German athlete Vicky explains how The Hidden Opponent is breaking stigma with practical action: campus captains, mental health game days, and resources that make support easy to find. She shares candid stories about moving from Germany to the United States, adjusting to new training loads and gym work, and navigating the business side of American college athletics where results can impact coaching jobs. Her playbook is clear and compassionate: communicate early, ask for help, and keep your identity bigger than your performance.Claire and Vicky cover:American athletes generally come into college knowing what to expect vs internationals not always knowingA lot of your American teammates may not know what you don't know Victoria's experience with being injured for 6 months and how she dealt with that mentally and physicallyCollege can be an amazing experience but also hard at the same time - both things can coexistSpeaking up can be hard, but it is so important to speak up if you need helpThe importance of familiarising yourself with the gym before heading over to college for the first timeVicky's biggest takeaway lands with heart: sport is a business, but your self-worth is not. When injuries occur or homesickness hits, stay connected to your team, lean on counselling, and let team community carry you through the hard bits. The Hidden Opponent's expanding international chapter proves that vulnerability travels; when others share openly, you don't have to. If this conversation helps you or someone you love, subscribe, share it with a teammate or parent, and leave a review so more athletes can find the support they deserve.Vicky Datta Instagram: @victoriadatta_ The Hidden Opponent - The Founder's Ted Talk: youtube.com/watch/?vSdk7pLpblls
