Episode 1, Kiersten Sires 2aDays and University of Illinois, Springfield Golf Coach Abuse Scandal
Manage episode 431756659 series 3550528
In an age of sports journalism where ESPN canceled Bob Ley’s Outside the Lines and HBO/Warner Discovery canceled Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel, and the recent New York Post report by Ryan Glasspiegel that Around the Horn will be canceled before the 2025 football season, sports journalism has been marginalized. In response, John Camacho and Zack Hamilton created The Moral Questions of Sports to address the intersection of sport, business, legal, and moral issues.
One of these controversial sports topics is College Coach’s Verbal, Physical, and Mental Abuse.
To address it, John interviewed Keirsten Sires. She uncovered the story, “University of Illinois Springfield Golf Team Accuses Head Coach of ‘Shocking Abuse.’” Keirsten discusses her sports journey as well as gets into an interesting conversation about the qualities that make great coaches and how coaches lose their team.
She is the founder and CEO of 2aDays. On top of that, she is a writer for The Huddle. Being the Chief Executive Officer of 2aDays means that Keirsten is the one held accountable for the success of the company’s efforts, across the board. She is also our Chief Amusement Officer; she promotes laughter in our business, eye roll. Playing varsity tennis and soccer for Skidmore College in New York has given her the endurance to be able to push the company to the next level day in and day out
