#SWISROCRADIO finally went on their long awaited and highly anticipated tour of the far flung fields of Shekou. The venue for their road trip was the salubrious environs of Le 5 Chefs where they were warmly greeted by Claudio!
On this first sports podcast of their local tour, Leonard (ICT Integration) and Youngman (Athletics Director of SWIS) were joined by two local celebrities (in their own minds) from Shekou International School Carlos Galvez and Nathan Lil.
The podcast mainly focuses on the mens' passion for sports, the reasons behind this and their backgrounds in many different sports. We hear a lot of information about their achievements through the years as well as their thoughts on many different topics.
The aim of this podcast was to get staff members of SIS & SWIS together to enjoy a fun podcast together with the hope of developing closer links between the two groups for future projects such as the upcoming Inspire Citizens Conference at SIS in September (this is mentioned by Nathan from 40:00-47:00 on the show). For more information about this project follow Steve Sostak & Aaron Moniz on Twitter.
Guest Biographies
Carlos Galvez completed his Bachelor’s Degree in Guatemala where he grew up competing in tennis and equestrian events. He played Division 1 tennis for a long time and competed in international junior equestrian events. Sports have always been very important to him which is why he decided to become an educator and instil health and fitness knowledge in young learners. He's taught in Guatemala City, Milan and currently Shekou international School (SIS) Shenzhen. He’s married to Ceci-Galvez Gomez and they have two wonderful children together.
Nathan Lil is a long suffering Arsenal fan (like myself) from USA. He is the Middle School Assistant Principal at Shekou International School (SIS). Nathan worked for over 15 years in America before joining SIS.
JoshUA Youngman, an Iowa farm boy, is the current Athletic Director at Shen Wai International School. He spent the previous five years in Jakarta, splitting his time between two schools as a teacher and Athletic Director. Originally from Iowa (USA), Josh grew up playing football (soccer) and basketball. He played football collegiately, while beginning his coaching career at the local high school. He has now been coaching for 13 years, both football and basketball. Josh attained his CAA (Certified Athletic Administrator) endorsement in December 2018, after completing his M.S. in Athletic administration in May 2017.JoshUA has implemented many new initiatives in his role. His weekly sports reports on the official school sports subscription on WeChat have been excellent (Search RocAthletics on WeChat) and his weekly sports podcasts have been well received by the community.
We hope you enjoy the show and I look forward to recording more podcasts in the future with Nathan and his team.
Sadly, Carlos and Josh are moving to new jobs in August; we wish them and their families the very best in their new posts in Vietnam and India respectively.
