Based on the blog, The Girlfriend's Guide to Sports. This podcast will keep you up to date with what's going on in the world of sports as well as what to watch in the upcoming week. The idea being that you will be informed when you go into work and can talk 'sports ball' with the guys (please don't actually use the term sports ball - that is sarcasm). Other episodes will feature specific sports and their rules, vocab and other tidbits you will need to know when watching that sport. There are no dumb questions, that's what I am here for!

GFGuide2Sports - Introduction

Let me tell you why you should be listening to me about sports. This is just an introduction on who I am and why I started this blog in 2018 and now podcast!

I am a lifelong sports fanatic, former college athlete and now work in the golf industry so sports has always been apart of my life. My track event was complicated to say the least (ever heard of the Heptathlon?!) so I was used to explaining my track event to people. I also grew up watching college football and so I was everyone's reference on what was going on during games as well.

Keeping up with sports can be exhausting so let me do that for you! ESPN is always on my TV and I spend my weekends watching golf for my job and during the fall, watching college football for fun. My specialties are college football, golf and the Olympics.

Join me every week for Weekly Updates and then periodically for special episodes about the rules, vocab on certain sports.

GF Guide - Week 3 College Football with special guest, little bro, Michael McConnell

Guest, Michael McConnell, joins me for a discussion on the results of Week 3 in college football. We go into what bets we made, the lingo used and how badly we did, in my case and how well he did. Consider this a bonus episode but it'll save me from making the next weekly update all about college football.
