Beyond the Score | Series Pilot

Win or lose, there’s always a story Beyond the Score. Host Al Martin uncovers stories where sports and society intersect. In this WKAR special: taking a knee during the national anthem results in a transformative journey for a star Lansing area quarterback, a boxing coach creates an adaptive job-sharing program, and the popularity of pickleball surges thanks to its cross-generational appeal.

Aired: 12/13/23
Support for Beyond the Score with Al Martin is provided by Capital Insurance Services.
