Season 11, Episode 60 Part 1: Ross Greenburg: Capturing the Heart of Sports History

  • Summary

  • In this special season-ending episode of Next on the Tee, I'm joined by legendary sports documentary and movie Producer Ross Greenburg. With over 33 years at HBO Sports and countless award-winning documentaries to his name, Ross reflects on his incredible career, his passion for storytelling, and some of the most memorable sports moments in history.

    We discuss:

    • The state of professional boxing, from its golden days to the spectacle of modern matches like Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul.
    • Behind-the-scenes insights from Miracle, the iconic film about the 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team, and Herb Brooks' genius for building a true team.
    • The raw authenticity of Ross's projects like When It Was A Game and Nine Innings from Ground Zero, which capture the heart of baseball and a nation.

    Ross also shares his thoughts on the transformation of professional sports, the importance of preserving stories for future generations, and what drives him to keep uncovering the narratives behind the games we love. You'll also get a hint about his upcoming project around the US Women's Soccer Team who electrified us all by winning the 1999 World Cup.

    This is an episode filled with nostalgia, insight, and inspiration – the perfect way to start closing out 2024 and Season 11.
