In this captivating episode of "The People We Meet," host Ty Bruner introduces us to Gleason Garske, a remarkable 10-year-old bowling prodigy with an extraordinary story to tell. As the first episode of "The Voices of the Kids" series, this narrative delves into the life of Gleason, a fourth-grader with a zest for life, who effortlessly balances school, sports, and personal projects.
Join Ty and Gleason as they explore the young bowler's journey that began at a tender age, nurtured by family and surrounded by mentors. Gleason shares his experiences, from practicing with his great-grandmother to winning national tournaments and racking up scholarships in his Smart Account. His passion for bowling led him to start a foundation, EKB, that gives kids their first bowling equipment, aiming to inspire and uplift other young bowlers facing similar challenges.
This episode is not just about strikes and spare balls; it’s about the spirit of giving back, overcoming challenges like ADD, and Gleason's dreams of integrating sports with community service. Dive into this heartfelt conversation to discover why Gleason truly embodies the spirit of a modern champion, on and off the lane.
