All I wanted to do is play baseball… Luisa Gauci is one of the few female baseball players playing in college. Her love of the game is profound, and her commitment to elevating baseball for women is her goal. Luisa’s journey has taken her from Australia to America; She currently plays for West L.A.’s college baseball team, and she is constantly looking to get better at her craft. That search has landed Luisa as an instructor with Driveline baseball. Where she focuses on analytics and data to get better and also teach other girls to excel at the game of baseball. Analytics and data have been readily available for men playing baseball, but not women. This lack of information has led Luisa to her creating the 20-80 scouting for women (https://bit.ly/36Ey2Cp) A data-driven analysis of how women hit baseballs. At just 19 years old she has already spoken in front of all MLB teams about women playing baseball. Luisa has met with people such as new Miami Marlins General Manager Kim NG, MLB hitting instructors, and ot

The Doc is in and our latest podcast is out! Weekend Warriors, that’s the term that we use for adults wanting to have some playtime. Orthopedic Surgeon Dr. Garcia discusses how to minimize injuries, so we can spend more time doing the things that we enjoy, and less time recovering from them. What are some common injuries that he sees as an Orthopedic Surgeon and why? How should we prepare for activities? How should we listen to our bodies? What are signs that it’s time to see a doctor? Winter is coming, and more people are going to want to hit the slopes this year. Great news, especially after spending so much time indoors during quarantine, but there is some hesitation. Dr. Garcia is concerned that this year there might be more injuries on the way, but they can be avoidable. Take a listen, enjoy, get your body ready, and get out and play. Dr. Grant Garcia has advanced accredited fellowship training in sports medicine and shoulder surgery and this is the primary focus of his practice. He is very interested in

NYSEA guest this week is Board-certified orthopedic surgeon Dr. Wayne Weil. Dr. Weil is specialized in many areas including hand surgeries and hand ailments, but also has published several scientific papers and presented his research in the field of trauma injuries at national meetings. That was the focus of our conversation. Traumatic injuries. How do people deal with the physical, mental, and emotional aspects of sustaining a traumatic injury? This past week we saw Dak Prescott suffer a traumatic injury when he was tackled on a routine football play that led to a compound fracture and dislocation of his right ankle. On the same day that Dak sustained his injury, Alex Smith returned to the playing field almost 2 years after suffering a well-documented compound fracture of his tibia and fibula. As Dr. Weil mentions in the show, the easy part is the surgery. The emotional and mental aspect of healing begins after surgery. Fascinating show. Educational and Insightful. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Check

We look back at a crazy week 6 in college football starting with the Red River Rivalry. What do you want in a rivalry? Over 900 total yards, 88 points, 4 OTs, 8 TOs, blocked punt, blocked FG, and a pear tree. Wow. The SEC has another Saban coaching disciple in Lane Kiffin and Ole Miss vs Alabama did not disappoint. Want defense? Not this week. These two teams combined for almost 1,400 yards and 111 points. If Alabama doesn't fix their defense next week Georgia will exploit their weakness they way they did to Tennessee this weekend in a 44-21 win. LSU struggling this season. Who's fault is it?  The Carolina Panthers that's who! What?! I'll explain it. . Take a listen to the show and enjoy it as another college football week is in the books. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nyseasportstalk/support

Orthopedic Surgeon and Sports Medicine Specialist Dr. Grant H.

NYC sports producer, editor & director Jules Jacques joins NYSEA to discuss the NBA. Jules a staple at the NBA, discusses his thoughts on this historic day in sports as NBA playoff games get postponed, and the future of the season has now become in jeopardy. Jules shares his thoughts, concerns, and fears as a black man and parent in America. The importance of defunding the police, and how other much-needed programs can benefit from that money. NBA has captured America's attention, but it is the WNBA who has been leading the way in societal issues for years. Kyrie Irving was ridiculed when he stated that the players shouldn't be playing basketball during these times. Now that those sentiments are shared by other players should we view Kyrie's statements differently? It's a great show, and thankful for Jules to share his thoughts and opinions on many matters.
