My beat is to keep people updated and aware about what is going on with all sports of these upcoming seasons and dealing with Covid-19. This year has been chaotic with everything, but has definitely taken a toll when it comes to our athletes. Having fall sports such as football, volleyball, cross country, soccer, and field hockey being pushed back due to the coronavirus is resulting in schools and programs being affected all over the world. Winter sports are still up in the air and being decided as we speak, but as we learn more about this virus our great doctors and trainers can help us adjust to this new way of life. Sports programs are coming up with more safety guidelines and regulations to make sure athletes, coaches, and everyone else are not at any harm.

There are so many sports fans all over the world. It does not matter where you are from sports are known and acknowledged. Whether it is in your city, state, or country there is a popular sport that brings people together to watch and cheer on. Coronavirus has put a halt to that, but it has not stopped us from having hope that one day we will return to that type of lifestyle.
