Welcome to Episode 26 of the Mindset Sports Podcast. This is a GAMEDAY episode titled "Once A Pirate Always A Pirate".
In this episode my wife Gala joins me on the podcast for the very first time.
Our hometown Hannibal High School football team has made the Missouri State Championship for the first time since 2006 and the second time in their history.
Once A Pirate Always A Pirate has become a hashtag amongst Pirate parents and alumni to support the team as they head towards the big game. So I thought the GAMEDAY episode would be a great opportunity to join in on the fun.
To make this more relevant it's important for you to know that Gala and I met in 8th grade at Hannibal Middle School. I thought it would be fun for us to team up to talk community, high school sports and the love we have for our hometown.
We have a great time remembering where we came from, where it all started for us and discussing the impact schools can have on their community.
Gala goes glory days on me a few times but I do my best to keep her in check.
At the end I use the Mindset Minute to share some advice with the Pirate players & coaches from my experiences in big games. I hope this episode gives you a quick moment to reminisce on the positive moments of your high school days and encourages you to always be involved in your local schools.
