Show Notes:Matthew Mangine, Jr. Foundation websitehttps://www.matthewmanginejrfoundation.org/PO Box 30, Union, KY 41091 859-802-2525 contact@matthewmanginejrfoundation.orgYouth Sports Safety Guide is available on their foundation pageThe Biblical definition of Matthew is “gift from God,” so when our first-born Matthew Mangine Junior entered the world on October 13, 2003, his name could not have been more appropriate for us. Right out of the womb Matthew was a happy baby who rarely fussed. Because we were young parents, we believed Matthew was an “old soul” since he was always surrounded by our adult friends. His most recent favorite thing to do on weekend mornings was to grab his Dunkin Donuts iced coffee and sit on the back deck reveling in the outdoors. He was a non-conformist who listened to country music even when his friends begged him to turn it off, and often joked with us, his parents, about his clothing combinations. He loved the colors purple and red. Purple complimented his showy personality, while red represented his club and school soccer team colors. Aside from his love of soccer, Matthew was obsessed with cars, which began at an early age. Disney’s “Cars” was one of his favorite movies, and later on his Uncle would tease him about watching it while “girls” were around. If he was driving, he could easily be distracted when a cool car went by, explaining how he’d have to have that one. Matthew wanted more cars than any single person could own in a lifetime. And while his dream car collection would have been pricey, it was a simple act of kindness that he became known for among family and friends.  Our son was a hugger. He would wait in the lobby to give out hugs after school. If you were the recipient of one of these hugs, you understand when we say it made you feel special. Matthew was known by his friends and coaches for his smile, his laugh, and his compassion for others. Our son was loved by all that knew him.To contact the Youth Sports Safety Update PodcastJAXSMP.com Jacksonville Sports Medicine Program or JSMP3563 Philips Highway, Building E, Suite 502, Jacksonville, FL 32207Email: Jim.mackie@bmcjax.com 904-477-9291Email: Robert.Sefcik@bmcjax.com Executive Director JSMP & CEO / President FASMED 904-202-4332FASMED.com Florida Alliance for Sports Medicine

Our guest, Stephanie Kuzydym is a a DuPont and Emmy award winning journalist, who is the sports enterprise reporter in Louisville, KY at the Louisville Courier Journal, which is part of the USA TODAY Network. She received her bachelor’s degree in journalism from Indiana University . She started her journalism career in the sports departments of newspapers in Oklahoma, Ohio and Texas before flipping over to the broadcast side where she learned investigative and accountability reporting.  In the world of sports medicine, she reported a seven-month investigation into sudden death in youth sports called Safer Sidelines. She was recently awarded the National Athletic Trainers Association’s President’s Service Award, the Secondary Schools Athletic Trainers’ Committee advocate award and the Korey Stringer Institute’s Life Saving Education Award. She is always down for a road trip if it includes a stop at Buc-ees.  Lately she’s been asking some difficult but insightful questions into a real issue on our school sports sidelines. In April, her multi-part series, “Safer Sidelines” uncovered the many ways high schools, athletic associations and lawmakers have failed to prepare for the worst-case scenario  sudden death in sports.Prior to Louisville, Kuzydym worked in Cincinnati as a TV producer of the special projects and investigative unit for WKRC-TV, Local 12. Alongside unit photographer Eric Gerhardt, Kuzydym produced two special projects: Athletes AT Risk, which looked at the health and safety of high school athletes and the healthcare missing from sidelines, and Childhood Poverty: Cincinnati’s Crisis, which uncovered why Cincinnati has the fourth-highest childhood poverty rate.She previously worked as a producer on a five-person investigative and special projects unit for KHOU-TV in Houston, where she was responsible for generating new story ideas, planning and conducting interviews, obtaining and organizing data and filing more than 800 open records requests to school districts, police departments and other governmental entities. Her work focused on taking deep dives into police body cameras, teenage anxiety, sex trafficking and high school athletics departments, in Houston and nationally. Her team’s work earned them a DuPont, a Gracie and a Lone Star EMMY. In Cleveland, her reporting into concussions turned into a multi-part project, “Mind Over Matter,” which was awarded a Headliner Award.JSMP website: www.jaxsmp.comFASMED website http://fasmed.fadss.org/Guest biography & contact informationStephanie Kuzydym email: skuzydym@gannett.comTwitter @stephkuzyDeadly Games Database: https://data.courier-journal.com/deadly-games-sudden-death-in-athletes/
