Accelerate Radio

Accelerate Radio airs live on Mondays from 7:30-8:30 p.m. This Rochester, NY based radio program is aimed at educating youth athletes.

I was pleased to join the "Managing Your Time" program last Monday as a guest. Along with several guests, I discussed various time management tips to help athletes improve how they balance athletics with academics and other commitments.

Go to Accelerate Radio and click on the Nov. 24th archive to listen. Many thanks to Brian Guck for including me in the program.

Sports Parents Need Help...

What do grandparents, aunts, uncles, and family friends have in common? They are awesome helpers for sports parents!

You know...the time you have to be at three youth games in three different cities. Sometimes it's not possible to be in three places at once. You don't want to ask others to help you, but you might not have a choice.

With the holidays upcoming, remember this year to give a little gift to those who you appreciate because their help is wonderful and you are probably extremely grateful.

Pre-Game for Parents

What do you do with that extra thirty or sixty minutes while your child is warming up with his team?

I, (Kim), prefer to read a book, write on my laptop, or watch the warmups. Ed, on the other hand, almost always watches warm-ups. With our differing opinions on this topic, we thought it would be fun to take a poll. You can choose one answer or several in the poll posted above.

For those of you who enjoying reading novels, Michael Connelly's The Brass Verdict was just released. If you see me at the rink in the near future, that's what I'll be reading. I was lucky enough to get my copy signed earlier this week by Michael himself! (If any Michael Connelly fans or writers are reading this post, you can hear me ask Michael a question on a Podcast taped earlier today. I'm the "Kim from Ohio" caller.)

Post a comment and tell us how you prefer to spend your time while you're waiting for your child's game to start.
