Special Thursday...
Every day, I cherish the special people I am fortunate to meet along the
way who offer glimpses into their wonderful, fun, pressure-filled lives
for me to then share with the masses and help inspire others. Yesterday
was incredible: I introduced Hall of Fame women's basketball coach Tara
VanDerveer to Karch Kiraly, three-time Olympic gold medalist named
volleyball player of his generation - two of my favorites. He wound up
talking to the Stanford team. Sunday will mark 16 years
with AP and I am beyond thankful for getting to see the world this way.
What a year it has been, from Super Bowl, NBA Finals, covering Karch's
special U.S. women's Olympic team in Rio, baseball playoffs - and at 329
miles swum, I will reach 366 (for the leap year).
What gave me goosebumps at days end were the dozens of kids and mostly girls in U.S. soccer gear waiting in the darkness to high five every woman from the losing Romanian team after an 8-1 beating by the Americans. Way to be an example, young ones!

Cal coach's special announcement
A few players have reached out to me to announce their retirements - Randy Winn, Olympic volleyball players Courtney Thompson from UW and Christa Dietzen - but this was a first: Cal coach and dear friend Lindsay Gottlieb called me Friday to invite me to be there as the only media when she surprised her players that she is pregnant with her first child. What a special moment! These kinds of stories mean more to me than any game at this stage in my career.
