#114 - Rod Dragash, Athletic Director of Riverview High School

This week, we’re sitting down to have a conversation with the Athletic Director for Riverview High School, Rod Dragash.  We begin the conversation with Rod discussing his two newest hires, the Head Football Coach, and the Head Baseball Coach (Mark Sobolewski), who we interviewed a few weeks ago.  Check that interview out when you have a chance.We get into the philosophy of making coaching hires, and what it means to the kids, and the greater Riverview family.  We also dive into NIL (Name, Image & Likeness), and how that may end up impacting sports at the high school level in the near future.  We also get a prediction on the big Riverview Vs. Sarasota High School football matchup from Rod.As always, we continue the conversation about Sarasota, getting Rod’s thoughts on all the roundabouts popping up across town.  And finally, we put him through the Rapid Fire Gauntlet.***************************You can also check out the audio only podcast:To Listen to Sarasota SpeaX on Apple Podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sarasota-speax/id1704349113 To Listen on Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/0G2v4iQYQfD52ALqiffmAm?si=36342bedb14147fa**********************The Sarasota SpeaX Podcast is hosted by:Bradley Hannon, Insurance Agency Owner and Entrepreneurhttps://www.bradhannon.com Felipe Colón, Partner/Investment Advisor for Sanderling Partnershttps://www.sanderlingpartners.com/ Trey Martell, Owner of Strong Roofing SRQhttps://www.strongroofingsrq.com You can follow the Sarasota SpeaX team on Instagram Host Brad Hannon - https://www.Instagram.com/b_hannonHost Trey Martell - https://www.Instagram.com/treypod3Host Felipe Colon - https://www.Instagram.com/fjc424Producer Eric (E-Dub) Hollister - https://www.Instagram.com/elhollister ************************Sarasota SpeaX is a hyper-local podcast that will feature the incredible entrepreneurs, leaders and personalities that make Sarasota, and the greater surrounding area, tick.
