BTR Sports
BTR Sports with Sam and Kory is a new sports show focusing on more than just the results and Brett Favre. Each week we take an in-depth look at a topic from the world of sport from a broader, cultural angle. This week for D.I.Y. Week we take a look at the merits and pressure of individual sports vs. team sports, and the role of off-the-field individual training vs. training with a team. We also take a look at some current events in the sporting world…
Laurel Sprengelmeyer, the beautiful voice behind Little Scream.
Strength and conditioning training plays a huge role in all competitive sports, but it wasn’t always this way. Don’t think Kory made this session.
Tycho – the one man wizard behind the beautiful track ‘Daydream’.
In America, some would argue that we give our young athletes more room to develop on their own, and celebrate the ‘self-made athlete’ more than other countries.
Dan Lissvik and Rasmus Hagg – the duo Studio
