Final Show of the Season This Sunday
June 23rd, 2009 by d.grossman
The ups and downs. The highlights and the issues. The winners and, well, not the losers but some of the ridiculous decisions made.
What am I getting at?
Well, it’s that time of the year. Our final show of the school year is set for this Sunday at 9:00am. Tough putting together a year-ender on a one-hour […]
Championship athletes tell their story
June 17th, 2009 by d.grossman
Have to admit that we received lots of great e-mails and calls from listeners to the show last week - one with students talking about their experiences in sport and being chosen “athlete of the year”.
So, we’re giving you more this Sunday - but with a slight adjustment.
This Sunday, yes it’s Father’s Day Sunday, we […]
Meet the athletes
June 13th, 2009 by d.grossman
I have heard people often wonder what it takes to be an athlete of the year at a high school.
Well, there are stories about the athletes with the cloest ties to the decision makers.
In some cases, the athletes who are graduating get the nod over others - even a junior who has had a better […]
To coach, or not to coach
May 29th, 2009 by d.grossman
The role of the coach. The responsibilites of a coach. The education of a coach. It’s an important function and voluntary outside of the professional ranks.
Many people don’t realize the vast amount of hours coaches devote to helping young people. But maybe it’s also time that school Boards, who tend to look at them as performing […]
Donovan Bailey speaks out
May 24th, 2009 by d.grossman
Kudos to Donovan Bailey. Yes, the former World and Olympic sprint champ.
And not because he took time to appear on the HIGH SCHOOL SHOW heard today on the FAN 590. The 10-minute interview is on AUDIO at www.fan590.com
Bailey liked what he read in the Toronto Star about a high school sprinter Dushane Farrier from Neil […]
Pot pourri of stories on the high school show
May 17th, 2009 by d.grossman
Lots of fireworks on this Victoria Day weekend - and not all outdoors.
Like the baseball tournament final that ended in Oshawa, depending on who you speak with on this, without a championship game. Yet, a winner was determined. And in track, in one Toronto region anyway, a fifth year student isn’t eligible to compete because […]
Take Me Out To The Ball Game
May 6th, 2009 by d.grossman
Well, that might be a bit mis-leading.
But this Sunday, Mother’s Day, we’ll be taking you our to the ball game in a different weay: talking baseball for one hour on the HIGH SCHOOL SHOW starting at 9:05am.
Everything from, well, should there be a Mercy Rule?
How about the on-going battle between using wood or aluminum bats?
Is […]
Four doctors discuss sports injuries
April 22nd, 2009 by d.grossman
Here’s your chance - and don’t say you weren’t given ample opportunity.
Sports injuries. Yes, you name it. Or how about the question of whether to play a game with an injury, even the elightest one?
Well, we’ll try deal with that and more on the HIGH SCHOOL SHOW this Sunday, April 26th - a one hour […]
So, listen up
April 19th, 2009 by d.grossman
I find it interesting that, just about one hour after today’s HIGH SCHOOL SHOW, I’ve received so much reaction - by e-mail and voice mail - for the wrong reasons. Let me explain.
On the show, a pot pourri of things. We had information about a weekend football camp in May with in-studio guest Nick Burns. […]
Major announcements affecting school sports
April 1st, 2009 by d.grossman
Interesting happenings today on the high school front.
In a surprise announcement, the Toronto District School Board will allow swimming pools to stay open - but with no water.
In regions like Durham, schools that offer special credit courses in sports - to attract elite athletes - no longer have to hide that fact.
OFSAA has decided that […]
