Behind the Scenes with Sporting’s Medical Staff & Kit Men | Ep. 13

Blake and Marika are back for another episode of Off The Pitch, going behind the scenes with the people who help make Sporting Kansas City what it is. First, Sporting KC’s medical staff, Kurt Andrews and Chris Wolbert, join the show to talk sports medicine, player injuries and recovery, game-day emergencies, and the relationships they’ve built with players and staff over the years. They share what it’s really like to care for professional athletes, the challenges of getting players safely back on the field, and some unforgettable stories from their time with the club.

Then, the conversation continues behind the scenes with Sporting KC’s Kit Men, Mike Flaherty and Sam Jaksen, getting to know the people responsible for keeping the team’s kits and equipment ready to go. It’s a look at another side of Sporting Kansas City that fans don’t always get to see—and the personalities and traditions that help keep the club running off the pitch.
