episode 9: From the Great Lakes to the Granddaddy of them All: The Journey of Mike VanderVelde
Welcome to Whistle Talk, the podcast where we blow the lid off the world of sports officiating! I'm thrilled to be joined today by Mike VanderVelde, whose journey through officiating spans over two decades and across multiple levels of competition. Mike has been an integral part of high school athletics in Michigan, Colorado, and Louisiana for years. But his expertise doesn't stop there; he's also made significant contributions to college football officiating, having worked in various conferences and prestigious bowl games, including the last 2 Rose Bowls.
