Let the games begin!

Hello! I'm very excited to get this blog started. This is something I've wanted to do for awhile...combine my two passions, sports and saving the world!

Here's a little history before the games begin!

I love sports! I love watching them, playing them and reporting on them. At the same time I feel very passionate about the environment. While sports journalism is my career, I feel simply reporting on the stats and scores of games isn't enough. So many athletes, teams and leagues are making strides both in their sport and for the planet and I want to make sure they are being recognized. I guess you can say I'm wearing an environmentally conscious helmet in my game of life.

I truly believe there is no better way to bring about change than through sports. Sports cut across cultural boundaries and bring together people of all demographics. Just think about the audience the Superbowl attracts! This unique international stage is perfect for spreading sustainable messages. Sports unite and inspire people to do their best and I'd like to make sure the best ideas for saving our planet are read and heard. Professional athletes are in a unique position to make powerful statements about sustainability and to lead by example and I plan to help disseminate their messages.

That is what my blog is all about. Spreading the positive messages and examples by players, teams and leagues, so even more people will be inspired to change. We are all part of the same planet so let's work together as a team and score points for our environment!
