Why should you care about Hannah's opinion on soccer? Well she is better than 99% of USA fans in that she actually watches soccer on a regular basis. She also played soccer in college for the University of Oklahoma. Her position is the playmaker so she needed to make sure she was in the right spot to make those crosses and goals happen. She helped me make the soccer post to get ready for the World Cup so those great explanations were hers. Welcome to the GF Guide podcast, Hannah!

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.
