🚨 Tune in Every Saturday at 10 PM ET! 🚨

Welcome back, football fans, to Shak Talk! We're your go-to podcast for high school football recaps, real talk on and off the field, and the mental game that makes all the difference. Get ready for a packed episode this week.

The lights were shining bright across the state of Georgia for Week 6 of Friday Night Football, and we've got all the scores and highlights. We’re breaking down the standout performances, the nail-biting finishes, and the upsets that shocked the state. You won’t want to miss our take on the big games, from the dominant performance by Thomasville to the close victory by Lovett over KIPP Atlanta. We'll also be diving into other key matchups, including Northeast's shutout win and Swainsboro's hard-fought win over Crisp County. We’re also talking about the standout players, including Winder-Barrow's M.J. Dowdy, who is climbing the leaderboards! Get ready for a full breakdown of all the action.

In sports, a bad play or a missed call can feel like the end of the world. But you always get another down, another possession, or another game. In life, though, some choices have lasting consequences. This week, we're talking about the power of choices and decision-making, and why there are no "do-overs." We'll be using real-world examples from the world of sports to discuss how a single choice—on or off the field—can shape a person’s future. It's about more than just right or wrong; it's about understanding the consequences and taking ownership of your path. We'll give you the tools to think critically and make decisions you can be proud of, because your future is shaped one decision at a time.

We're all running on a tight schedule, whether we're juggling school, practice, work, or family. The pressure can feel overwhelming. In our mental health segment, we're focusing on time prioritization, setting a schedule, and building a timeline for your goals. We'll share practical tips on how to manage your time effectively, so you can stay on top of your game without feeling burned out. Most importantly, we're talking about the need for self-compassion and grace. It's okay to have off days and to need time to recharge. Being kind to yourself is not a weakness; it's a critical part of being a high-performing athlete and a healthy person.
