SISTERHOOD OF SWEAT - Motivation, Inspiration, Health, Wealth, Fitness, Authenticity, Confidence and Empowerment

On today's episode, we're talking to Coach Dick LeBeau. Dick LeBeau was a football coach in the National Football League (NFL) from 1973 to 2017, finishing his career as the defensive coordinator of the Tennessee Titans. Over his forty-five years of coaching his teams compiled a cumulative win/loss record of 353-347-2. He was the head coach of the Cincinnati Bengals from 2001 until the 2002 season, during which time the Bengals went 8-24-0. During his career he was a head coach for two seasons. LeBeau was enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2010 after his playing career. To most NFL fans, Dick LeBeau is known as a football lifer, Pro Football Hall of Fame member, and mastermind behind the revolutionary zone blitz defense. But to Pittsburgh Steelers fans, LeBeau is the beloved defensive coaching genius who helped lead the Steelers to their last two championships – Super Bowl XL in 2005 and Super Bowl XLIII in 2008 – crafting a devastating 3-4 defensive scheme that came to define a treasured era of football in Pittsburgh. In Legendary, LeBeau along with veteran Steelers' scribes Scott Brown and George Von Benko will revisit that unforgettably dominant 2008 defensive unit, one of the most feared and successful in the modern NFL landscape. A deep dive into each game of the 07-2008 championship season, with added perspective of how that “Blitzburgh” defense stacks up against the other great contemporary defenses, LeBeau also intersperses revelations about the 2008 Steelers with anecdotes from his nearly 60 years in the NFL as both a star player and groundbreaking coach who spanned decades of football innovation.   This fond look back at the latest golden era for the Steelers also includes recollections from the legends on defense who helped bring LeBeau's ground-breaking vision to life, from Hall of Fame safety Troy Polamalu to 2008 NFL Defensive Player of the Year James Harrison to unheralded but essential linebacker James Farrior, and many more who count LeBeau as one of the most admired and brilliant coaches in league history.   How you can stay in touch with Linda: Website Facebook Twitter Instagram Pinterest YouTube SoundCloud   "Proud Sponsors of the Sisterhood of S.W.E.A.T"  Essential Formulas

Episode 274 of “The Sports Experience Podcast” is here & were continuing our block of episodes on the most famous of Brett Favre's backups. The son of a former NFL player, Matt Hasselbeck was destined for a career on the gridiron. A two-year starter at Boston College, Hasselbeck illustrated he possessed the physical skills and acumen to play in an NFL-style offense despite the program's limited success during his tenure. As they always did during the 1990s, the Green Bay Packers took a chance on the former Golden Eagle in the 6th Round of the 1998 NFL Draft. Hasselback spent three years as Brett Favre's backup until the spring of 2001 when he was traded to the Seattle Seahawks to start for the Head Coach who had drafted him previously in Green Bay, Mike Holmgren. Though he struggled his first two seasons in Seattle, Hasselbeck had the Seahawks in the postseason by 2003 & helped the team win their first NFC West title in 2004. By 2005, Hasselbeck was his team's best player and led Seattle to an NFC Championship and their first Super Bowl appearance. Despite the loss in Super Bowl XL, Hasselbeck helped Seattle capture two more division crowns in 2006 & 2007. Hasselbeck was not only one of the best signal-callers in the NFC from 2003-2007, but was one of the best in the entire NFL. Though injuries and a new coaching staff led to Hasselbeck leaving Seattle in 2011, he continued his career as a backup with the Tennessee Titans and Indianapolis Colts until the end of the 2015 season. Overall, Hasselbeck made the Pro Bowl three times with the Seahawks, won five NFC West titles, finished his career with 36,638 passing yards and 212 touchdown passes. Connect with us on Instagram!

Known for his football acumen and engaging personality, Hasselbeck remains a prominent figure in the sports world.The guys discuss several topics in this jam packed two hour conversation.

I'm back in the New York and podcast groove as I have the first of two podcasts this week to close out the first half of 2023! What the sports world had to offer over the past seven days? Here's what's on deck: (3:12) It's officially here, sports fans. I know NBA & NHL free agency is upon us. Even the NHL Draft with a potential generational star about to be selected by the Chicago Blackhawks in a one, Connor Bedard. Wimbledon is next week. Of course, there's baseball. But the time has come, we have reached this part of the sports calendar where we all dread. Welcome to the Sports Dead Zone, Part 2. (5:41) Since there wasn't a regularly scheduled podcast this past Thursday, the reason being is because I visited the Caribbean over the past five days at Grand Cayman. I'll share what took place and give it a plug for those who are interested or have it on their radar but never actually made accommodations as a wonderful destination to unplug and relax. (9:33) MLB is front and center as one of the only sports standing on a day to day basis. I'll get into Marcus Stroman's blister that he suffered during the London Series vs. the Cardinals (which I'll also discuss with the Mets & Phillies playing there next year) He is at or near the top of the rumor mill when it comes to the trade deadline. What this injury does to hinder his value? Commissioner Rob Manfred fessed up to not making the best decision to give the 2017 Houston Astros players immunity during the sign stealing scandal during that season. Why is this coming out now? I'll delve into the exciting, upstart Cincinnati Reds coming off of a 12 game winning streak. The Giants had a 10 game winning streak of their own. The Marlins continue to play well as star pitching prospect Eury Perez shines through a 21 inning scoreless streak. Then, you have the Mets after another rough week (losing 4 of 6 to the World Series finalists, Houston & Philadelphia) and how they found another brutal way to lose a game like they did to the Phillies yesterday. Tampa Bay is on a pace to win 108 games this year, but there have been a couple of hiccups this past week. (Wander Franco benched without All-Star production. Shane McClanahan leaves start with bad back) Aaron Judge's toe and return back in the lineup is uncertain. I'll have that and much more as I take a trip throughout the major leagues. (32:26) The Association has been wheeling and dealing over the past week. Of course, I'll get into my thoughts on Victor Wembanyama, the #1 pick by the San Antonio Spurs and piggyback mildly on what I said during last weeks' podcast. The Celtics & Warriors made moves to secure potential final pieces to their championship puzzles. Kristaps Porzingis goes to Boston in a three way trade with Washington & Memphis. What are the keys for KP to take his game to the next level? Thoughts on Marcus Smart going to the Grizzlies in this deal as his nine year tenure in Boston concludes. As for Golden State? Chris Paul (aka CP3) goes from the Wizards to the Bay Area where Jordan Poole comes back East. Is Draymond Green's return forthcoming due to this move? I'll also discuss how the NBA Draft played out, with which top players are headed to after Wembanyama's selection by San Antonio. (48:46) The NHL will have their draft with Round 1 Wednesday night, followed by Round 2 on Thursday. Connor Bedard is the one guy that everyone has their eyes on as the next big thing in the sport of hockey. The Blackhawks have that selection awaiting them two nights from now. How the parallels between he and the Spurs first pick in the NBA draft this year are similar to another big duo many moons ago (Shaquille O'Neal & Eric Lindros in 1992) who came in with tons of hoopla and hype, similar to these guys coming out this year. (55:51) I'll wrap up with some NFL news regarding Tyreek Hill and his recent allegations regarding assault at a Miami Beach marina. And the untimely death of one time Steelers LB, Clark Haggans, who was part of a big play in Super Bowl XL which changed the complexion of not only the game, but possibly the outcome of the Seahawks chances to win in Detroit that year.

Isaiah Kacyvenski is one of the most decorated Ivy League football players of all time. While at Harvard, he won Ivy League Rookie of the Year and then followed that up with All-Ivy League first-team honors over his final three seasons. He received the Nils V. “Swede” Nelson Award, which is given to "best, most academically talented" football player in New England, and also the Harvard University Male Athlete of the Year following his senior season. After Harvard, Kacyvenski was selected by the Seattle Seahawks in 2000, becoming the highest draft pick in Harvard history (fourth round, No. 199 overall. Beyond his contributions as a linebacker, he was a pivotal player on the Seahawks' special teams and helped in their run to Super Bowl XL. More impressive than any on-field accomplishment, however, is what Kacyvenski overcame just to have the opportunity to play football in the first place. He dealt with bouts of homelessness as a kid and the tragic loss of his mother during his senior year of high school. That power of will is what keeps driving him as he enters the next phase of his professional career. Last year, Kacyvenski announced a $55 million dollar early-stage venture fund focused on health, wellness, media and content; the fund is called Will Ventures. Along with fellow former Harvard football player Brian Reilly, as well as other Harvard student-athlete graduates Kirby Porter and Alexis Nocolia, Kacyvenski is seeking out “relentless entrepreneurs with the will to change the world.” About The Game Plan The Game Plan is a weekly SportTechie podcast hosted by venture capitalists Jay Kapoor and Tim Katt.
