For this week's episode Sasha sits down with Coach Tre Hickem and a group of dedicated flag and tackle football student-athletes from Mountain Ridge High School; JT, Ethan, Teymur and Sophia, to talk about the volunteer work they’re doing to make a difference in the lives of elementary school kids and the profound effects this work has had on their own lives.

These players are living proof that sports aren’t just about touchdowns and trophies—they’re about heart, growth, and connection.

Coach Hickem shares his passion for building a positive team culture, while his players open up about how volunteering, perseverance, and mentorship have shaped who they are and who they hope to become. Together, they explore the lessons sports teach us all: teamwork, leadership, resilience, and the power of giving back.

Sports Fam, today we’re saddling up for a conversation about the incredible bond between humans and horses. For centuries, horses have carried us—literally and emotionally—and science now confirms what many of us have always felt: these powerful, peaceful animals can change lives.

That’s the mission at Camelot Therapeutic Horsemanship, an Arizona nonprofit that has been offering life-changing programs for children and adults with disabilities since 1983—all at no cost to participants. Camelot believes you can’t put a price on human dignity, and their raise-money-first, spend-it-second philosophy has kept them debt-free for over four decades.

Each year, Camelot hosts Starry Knights, a fundraising gala under the desert sky, spotlighting the inspiring stories of two students. This year, those students are with us in the studio: Heidi Miller and Phil Simpson.

Join us as we talk about the transformative power of horses, the joy of riding, and the incredible community built at Camelot.

Sports Fam, you can learn more about Camelot Therapeutic Horsemanship online at www.CamelotAZ.org and on Facebook @CamelotAZ

What happens when a legendary sports broadcaster swaps the mic for the mountains—and a pen?

Emmy Award-winning broadcaster Steve Physioc joins Sports Will Save Us All to reflect on his incredible 35-year career behind the mic, calling games for the Royals, Angels, Reds, and Giants, plus stints covering the NFL, NBA, and NCAA on ESPN, FOX Sports, and TBS.

But Steve isn’t just a voice of the game—he’s a storyteller at heart. Since retiring from broadcasting in 2022, he’s embraced a bold new chapter: writing fiction.

Sports Fam, you can find Steve’s books in all of the places you buy books, and remember that we now have a dedicated page on SportsWillSaveUsAll.com for all of the authors and books we’ve had on the show with links to purchase to make it super easy for you.

You can learn more about Steve at StevePhysioc.com and he’s on Instagram @StevePhysioc1.
