A podcast covering the National High School Rodeo Association circuit from a competitor and family perspective. The host, a former NHSRA qualifier turned coach, breaks down the qualification process for state and national finals, event-specific training priorities for high school rodeo athletes, and how to manage the dual demands of academics and a competitive rodeo schedule. Episodes address all NHSRA events including roping, roughstock, barrel racing, goat tying, pole bending, breakaway, and cutting. The show regularly features current and former high school competitors who have gone on to college rodeo programs, discussing what coaches recruited them, how their high school program prepared them, and what they wish they had known going into the process. Parent-focused episodes cover travel logistics, budgeting for a full NHSRA season, and supporting a teenager through the competitive pressures specific to high school rodeo. Scholarship and college recruiting episodes are among the most downloaded.
