Hello my friends,
Happy Father’s Day to all the Dads out there. I hope you found some time to rest and reflect. Or at least, watch some sports.
With Euro 2020, U.S. Open Golf, and U.S. Track and Field Trials on it’s been easy to procrastinate this past week. Although, I’m sure those of you that work in the sports industry can claim it as collecting athlete insight.

Thanks for your continued support. There are few things more motivating.
