Jeremy sits down with Kyle Lillie to keep the discussion going of why are the games “dying”. Is the problem and solution both more oversight? Is the problem a lack of transparency and standards? Is it fixable? Did we actually answer any of these questions?

Mat and Jeremy discuss why games are dropping more than ever. Following what seemed like a resurgence after covid it seems like more and more games are now closing. Is it the directors? The athletes? The venues? Are we just doomed? Either way it needs to be discussed so it can be fixed, if it can be.

Jeremy sits down with some ADs across the country to round out 2024. Including Josh Macintosh, Danny Webster, and Aaron George. Tune in and see what makes your ADs tick and why they do what they do. And keep your eyes peeled for pt2.
From Jeremy:
I wanted to do this episode to explain the “why”. As seasoned athletes it’s easy to forget why ADs do what they do and ask what they ask of athletes. Or new athletes just don’t know things yet. Either way I think breaking down the barrier between athletes and ADs is beneficial to everyone.
As usual thank you to our sponsors:
