missed last week&#8217;s edition of RCN Sports Talk (which is now available for free to RCN customers through RCN on demand), we had sports doctors and athletic trainers from school districts within the RCN viewing area discussing the pros and cons of playing sports during the pandemic. Additionally they had tips for student-athletes to stay in shape during lockdowns, ways parents can help their kids adjust physically and mentally to getting back into regular sports practices, truths and myths about COVID-19, ways to help kids returning to more normal socialization events and many more important facts and information during this critical time. It was a very topical conversation and already I&#8217;ve gotten quite a bit of positive feedback about the show and their opinions. Be sure to check it out!!!<\/p>\n<p>And coming up\u2026<\/p>\n<p>&#8230; Our guests will include Frank Majikes, District 2 Chair for the Scranton\/Wilkes-Barre area and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.piaa.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">PIAA<\/a> Board President, to talk about current scholastic sports issues and the return to play.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll also have Larry Miller &#8211; widely regarded as the greatest basketball player to come out of the Lehigh Valley area &#8211; discussing his tremendous playing career and extremely private life over the last four decades.<\/p>\n<p>Hall of Fame boxing announcer and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ESPN<\/a> broadcaster Al Bernstein will be on to talk about current sports topics, his legendary career and his new show that is debuting on RCN TV this fall.<\/p>\n<p>Our upcoming guest list also includes the league presidents from the <a href=\"https:\/\/epc18.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">East Penn Conference<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.colonialleague.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Colonial League<\/a> to explain the decision to play high school sports this fall and talk about the ways school districts are trying to keep people safe at these events.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, a few more very special guests, including local coaches and players, discuss their return to participation in full-time athletics during the Coronavirus pandemic.
