Welcome to the first-ever episode of FastPacedLace—the unfiltered sports podcast bringing heat from the sidelines to the studio.
In this kickoff episode, host Lacey Balch takes you through the bold backstory of how a mouthy sports mom turned her BMX parking lot rants into a full-blown sports media platform with Vegas flavor and a mission to protect athletes.
We’re talking:
- The truth behind helmet safety in youth sports
- The stats the big networks won’t cover
- The rise of women’s sports (and why it’s still underfunded)
- And a spotlight on Preslie Gould, fresh off a killer weekend at the Rock Hill SC Nationals
Plus, a sneak peek at next week’s episode: The Captain’s Dash featuring Olympian Nic Long—a deep dive into recovery, resilience, and leadership in BMX.
Hit play, follow the pod, and remember:
We’re fast. We’re laced. We’re here.
