Description

Welcome! I am your host, Deedee Hagner. My life has always been about sports. My dad was a coach. I played all of the sports my small hometown had for girls. I worked at the NCHSAA office, the UNC-CH wrestling office, the UNC-CH football office and spent almost 18 years working for the NFL and the Carolina Panthers. Are you ready to hear from athletes and those who work with athletes, not about X’s and O’s but about life? Are you ready to hear their stories? You know, the same stories we all have. Are you ready? I am. Welcome to Ready, Break!
