Myth of Young Champions and College Sports Cuts: Heartbreaking Impact on Athletes
May 13, 2025 · 13 min

In this episode of the podcast, Heavy Or Not, we kick off with friend and O.G., Wayne Goldsmith. His rant delves into the unsettling mark of young champions at the age of 8 and 9. His podcast is called, Sports Thoughts.  Then we pivot to talk about two successful college sports programs that have been abruptly cut. Oh no! Cal Polly Swimming, Men & Women's Teams, plus Grand Canyon University Men's Volleyball suffered unexpected and unexplainable cuts. Heavy topics. Abrupt losses. Heartbreaks.

Notes: The opening segment supplied by Wayne is a fine example of a "Heavy Or Not Jump Cut Rant." Rather than doing typical podcast interviews, this first-person rant is desired and welcome. You too can send in your messages to be included as well. Upload to https://UCANSwim.WeTransfer.com.  Share a story. Sound off on a topic. Cut to the chase and use your phone to make a recording. Of course, a video is fine too, but the audio needs to be present. A couple of photos work well too.
