1-on-1 With Up2Us Sports is a virtual series hosted by Up2Us Sports where we sit down and speak with athletes, coaches, partners and others about interesting topics related to our work in the Sports-Based Youth Development field. Get up close and personal with guests of all sports backgrounds, all focused on amplifying the message of our mission: transforming youth, programs and communities.

On Monday, August 2nd, Up2Us Sports Ambassador Sugar Rodgers joined us for the first episode of our new 1-on-1 with Up2Us Sports Series to discuss her new Memoir, They Better Call Me Sugar: My Journey from the Hood to the Hardwood as well as other topics. The discussion was led by Dr. Ahada McCummings, Senior National Director, External Affairs & Organizational Learning.
