BEYOND THE GAME
Beyond the Game with Brayden Flack gives listeners an inside look at athletes and sports in Sweetwater County in a light that is thought-provoking, interesting, and personal.
Through stories and interviews, we gain insight on what it takes to succeed and also what is learned from failure. From the eyes of a coach or the heart of the athlete, we try to put ourselves right into the moment – whether that might be a wrestling mat, a softball diamond, the top of a mountain, or in the classroom.
Go Beyond the Game with us.
