ON NYSEA LIVE!! Dave Banks calls into the show. Dave is the Executive Director of Seattle's Fellowship for Christian Athletes. He discusses his program and the importance of coaching sports the right way at the High School Level. Banks who serves as the defensive line coach at Seattle's Nathan Hale High School just stepped into the role at FCA a few short months ago. A longtime pastor, Banks played his college football at Marshall University following the tragic events that led to the movie "WE ARE MARSHALL." Dave Banks and his FCA program are committed to making sure the athletic experience reaches beyond the results on the field. He discusses his plans to support coaches and players to find a deeper meaning in their athletic participation. Talks about being a part of Cleats vs Cancer and the evolution of coaching today's youth and more. We get Derek Sparks on the phone and discuss the upcoming Football All-Star game on December 29th. A great event designated to raise money and awareness for kids like his own daughter Ze'lee Sparks who's battling cancer. Can't make it?! Donate anyway! Text "Cleats" to 41411.
We are Live from the Backyard Bar. So, of course, we get some fans on the radio including Saints super fan "Parker" on the show. He talks about the exciting season and if New Orleans and Drew Brees can get back to the show. Richard David Smith III pops into the bar and joins us. I never get his name right and I have no idea why! Brain fart in effect. He's so used to it by now he doesn't even bother correcting me. Another fun night at the loud, wonderful patrons and staff at the Backyard. Last one there since MNF is over. NYSEA will be back with another Podcast after the holidays, so enjoy this one. We know we did!
