College Athletics: How to Get There and What to Expect
Dec 21, 2022
There are many mysteries surrounding college athletics. How good do your grades need to be to get looked at by college coaches? What should my stats look like to be recruited? What are the differences between divisions? From starting the recruiting process to getting there and trying to figure out how to balance sports, academics, other extracurriculars, and a social life, the whole process of college athletics is undeniably daunting. I will address these topics as well as touch on my experience and what I learned from playing a college sport. My name is Audrey Kaus and I’m 22 years old. I graduated early from the University of Chicago in March of 2022 with a double major in Business-Economics and Spanish, while playing on the varsity women’s lacrosse team for four years and being captain for two. I went to LFHS and graduated in 2018, while there I played varsity basketball and varsity lacrosse for four years and was in leadership positions for both teams. I currently live in NYC and work for JP Morgan. Host: Jayson Kaus

Role of a Lifetime
Jan 11, 2023
From LF-LB Patch on Oct 31, 2022. Larry Farmer experienced great collegiate success as a member of the three-time NCAA national champion UCLA Bruins basketball team coached by the legendary John Wooden in the early 1970s. During Farmer’s years at UCLA, the Bruins had an 89-1 record. Next, he was drafted by the NBA Cleveland Cavaliers and the ABA (at the time) Denver Nuggets before concluding his professional playing career in Germany. There, he transitioned to the sidelines setting the stage for a nearly 40-year coaching career at both the NBA (Golden State Warriors assistant) and collegiate levels. Farmer returned to his alma mater, UCLA, as its head basketball coach. He also served as head coach at Weber State and Loyola University/Chicago as well as an assistant coach at the University of Hawaii, North Carolina State and Western Michigan. But when Farmer decided to retire to spend more time with family, his lifelong dream to coach high school basketball remained unfulfilled. That dream has now come true as Farmer assumes leadership of the Woodlands Academy of the Sacred Heart basketball program this season. And Interim Athletic Director Sierra Leigh says the all-girls college-prep high school in Lake Forest could not be more excited to have him there. “Coach Farmer brings a philosophy that I have carried on through my years of coaching that I truly believe our student-athletes will strive and grow with,” Leigh said. “His personality shaped by his journey, willingness for opportunity, and understanding of the Sacred Heart have brought him into our organization with open arms. He exemplifies many qualities and will be a shining light for the entire Woodlands Academy community as we look forward to a very exciting 2022-23 basketball season.” Farmer, who currently resides in Gurnee, says he is excited about this opportunity to coach at the high school level and can’t wait to start the season. “There is a level of enthusiasm and excitement surrounding Woodlands’ program that definitely got my attention,” he added. Woodlands Academy is a member of the Independent School League, an Illinois High School Association affiliate comprising nine Chicago area private secondary schools. In addition to his new coaching duties at Woodlands Academy, Farmer has kept busy during retirement writing a book titled “Role of A Lifetime,” due to be released Feb. 21, 2023. Host: Jerry Kelly |

Auto Racing
Mar 29, 2023
Ralph Hansen’s experience in racing dates back to 1967 when he first became friends with Anton “Tony” Hulman, the owner of The Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Upon graduating from Indiana State University in 1970, Ralph went to work during the racing season at The Indianapolis Motor Speedway as an assistant to Tony Hulman. From 1970 to 1978, Ralph got to know many race team owners and drivers. He became aware that they needed help in acquiring and managing corporate sponsors, as there were little or no professional sports marketing operations at the time. In 1985 Ralph was introduced to the highly respected IndyCar team owner, Carl Haas, by his good friend Jack Safro. During the first year of Ralph’s involvement with Carl Haas and Paul Newman, he conceived of what is now the most successful sponsorship acquisition concept today. Still referred to by many as the “Kmart concept,” it was the idea of a major retailer working with its vendors to support a significant sponsorship program. These programs had never been tried before their introduction by Ralph and Pegasus Marketing Group. Many years later, and with over 400 hundred million dollars in sponsorship raised, the concept is still valid and in use today around the world. Ralph has innovated other major creative programs for prominent companies like Eli Lilly and Company, McDonald’s Corporation, as well as many others. Believing in and following “The Golden Rule” has been the standard that Ralph and his firm continue to live and do business by today. Host: John Looby |
