From Matt Press, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette:

When the Diamond Run 13U golf team arrives in Frisco, Texas, for the nationally televised PGA Jr. League national championship, their first order of business will be ESPN interviews.

“Right when you get down there on the first day, they’re putting you in an interview room before you even step foot on the golf course,” said Adam Morrison, the team’s coach and the head golf professional at Diamond Run Golf Club in Sewickley. “They’re getting you in front of cameras before you’re even swinging a club.”

The event begins on Sunday with interviews and a practice round and runs through next Thursday. By now, some of these kids are regular pros in the TV world.

“I really like that part,” said Niko Ameredes, a 12-year old from Oakdale. “I think it’s cool that junior golf gets to be televised.”
Ameredes competed with the team in the national championship last year, which Morrison said “kind of blew our program up,” in terms of signups.

Benjamin Roethlisberger Jr., the son of the former Steelers quarterback, is a member of the eight-player squad heading to Texas.
After returning from the trip last October, the elder Roethlisberger raved about the Fields Ranch facility on his “Footbahlin with Ben Roethlisberger” podcast. Among the various features includes a Topgolf-style driving range called “Ice House” and a 75,000 square foot putting green.

“That place is spectacular,” Roethlisberger said at the time. “It’s got a 10-hole, lit-up par three course, which, I must add, Benjamin got a hole-in-one on.”

The team is selected following a regular season that spans from June to August. Each week on Monday afternoons, the kids in the program play nine-hole matches. This year there were 90 participants, allowing Diamond Run to complete the entire season in-house and pick an All-Star team to advance to sectional and regional championships.

The Diamond Run All-Stars — who will compete in Frisco as “Team Pennsylvania” — punched their ticket to the national championship with a victory in the PGA Jr. League Region 2 Championship at Webster Golf Club in New York back in September.

There will be 12 teams from around the country in the national championship, and each will have four groups playing two-person scrambles. There is a 36-hole stroke play qualifier that takes place on Tuesday and Wednesday, and […]

Ben and Spence discuss the recent performance of the Steelers, focusing on both the offensive and defensive aspects of the game. They address personal stories, including clearing the air on comments about a former teammate, and highlight the importance of community initiatives like Project Love Heals. The conversation shifts to the pressures of prime time games, the struggles of finding an offensive identity, and the need for players to step up. Looking ahead, they predict the upcoming game against the Bengals and express confidence in bouncing back from recent challenges.

We’re bringing back the story of Noah Galloway this Veterans Day, from November 11, 2014:

“A big part of my success in the running for the Kenneth Cole’s Mankind and Men’s Health Ultimate Guy Search is owed to the amazing Steeler Nation that supported me all the way. Y’all Got me on the cover of the world’s largest men’s magazine, I can’t thank y’all enough.” — Noah Galloway.

After meeting Ben at the airport on his way back from completing the White Sands Missile Range 23rd Annual Bataan Memorial Death March in March of 2012, he and Ben became friends. In August of 2013, he was Ben’s guest at Steelers training camp, and made many more friends among Ben’s teammates.


The cover “story”:

Nearly 10 years ago, Iraq war veteran Noah Galloway was lying in a hospital bed at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Washington, D.C., grappling with having lost an arm and a leg due to a roadside explosion. His extensive injuries plunged him into depression. And as recently as five years ago, Galloway says was spending the majority of his days smoking, drinking, and sleeping. Today, the inspiring, super-fit 33-year-old is on the cover of Men’s Health—the first reader in the magazine’s 26-year history to score that honor.

Men’s Health received nearly 1,300 entries in its search for the “Ultimate Men’s Health Guy” to be featured on the cover of the magazine’s November 2014 issue. “There were so many amazing men, narrowing the pool down from 1,300 to our three finalists was torture,” said Men’s Health Editor in Chief Bill Phillips.

Ultimately, one line in Galloway’s video entry set him apart. “He said it was his choice whether to be bitter about what happened to him in Iraq, or to be better—and he chose to be better,” Phillips told Yahoo Health. “That’s a lesson we all can learn from. Every day, whether it’s your job or your relationship or somebody Tweets something nasty at you, it’s very easy to become a negative person. Noah reminds us that when we choose to be better, we can quite literally change our mindsets—and our lives.”

The cover search was an exhaustive eight-month process. “It wasn’t like you just had to send […]
