I\u2019m Back!!!  And super excited to be rejoining my Insight News family as Sports Editor. It’s been about 20 years since I last appeared here and had the honor and opportunity to share my thoughts about local and national sporting news with all of you. In those 20 years\u2026 oh my\u2026 In addition to a slight name change, so much has happened since then! My perspective as a sports professional has grown exponentially and is much more multi-dimensional. I look forward to sharing those experiences, as well as interviews with newsworthy celebrities, sports figures, and cultural icons in the coming weeks. Here\u2019s a snapshot of what you can expect from CoachLeahTM<\/sup> and Insight News \u2013 Sports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Absolutely!

Being born and raised in Minnesota matters!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How will Insight News \u2013 Sports be different this time around and from other sports columns?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although Insight News is the largest minority owned and distributed print publication in Minnesota, nationally it is a highly respected publication for quality journalism and has evolved over the years to effectively utilize social media, multimedia live, and streaming platforms including Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, and the ever popular, www.insightnews.com<\/strong><\/a>where you will also find the eEdition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
