About
Stories. Athletes. Communities. Founded in 2006 by Bobby Ericson.
How it started
I started We Cover Sports in 2006 to tell the stories of athletes and the communities behind them. Two years later, We Cover Cheer was born, and for about 15 years cheer and dance became the story I was telling. I covered the sport from high school to college to the pro level, from game days on the sidelines to competitions on the mat. That world means so much to me, and it gave me stories and friendships I will always treasure.
Coming back
Now I'm bringing it all back home to where it started. We Cover Sports is about stories, athletes, and communities. We'll share a glimpse of every sport, from game days to the athletes and the teams and towns that make it all happen, with cheer and dance still at the heart of it.
Our Czech roots
Half of my family comes from Moravia in the Czech Republic. My great-great-grandpa František Noha came from near Třebíč and reached Wahoo, Nebraska, in 1874. My grandma always told me the Czech families settled around Wahoo because the rolling hills reminded them of home.
Grandma Vivian taught me some Czech words as a kid and made the best apricot kolaches. I have never been to the Czech Republic yet, but I'm learning more about where I come from, and I want to pass that on.
We're also growing a Czech side, We Cover Sports CZ, to follow Czech baseball and Czech athletes here in the States. It will cover cheer and dance competitions in the Czech Republic too.
