Countless sports stars have passed through San Antonio over the years. From athletes to coaches to administrators behind the world’s biggest events, the Alamo City has long been a haven for top sports minds. In 2024, Jenny Carnes, San Antonio Sports president & CEO, and Mary Ullmann Japhet, a board member, launched a podcast to celebrate the organization’s 40th anniversary. They dubbed it Game On!, Jenny’s tagline.
Jenny and Mary set out to capture 40 years of San Antonio Sports history by interviewing those who helped shape it. The podcast’s star-studded list of guests began fittingly with George Block, co-founder of San Antonio Sports, and Olympian Stacey Johnson. It’s moved through Alamo City history, from former mayor Henry Cisneros to UTSA head football coach Jeff Traylor.
Game On! showcases San Antonio Sports’ rich past and exciting future. The vibrant episodes share stories, memories and laughs while providing an oral history of the first four decades of San Antonio Sports and offering a glimpse of the 40 years to come.
