Shining the spotlight on the leaders who go the extra mile for their teams — on and off the field.

This month, we’re featuring  Joeadam Martinez, a long-time Basketball & Soccer athlete. You’ll even see him every now end then running the bases at Kickball!

How long have you been a captain?
I’ve been a captain on and off for about 6 seasons. Best part has been building the team. Knowing who to add to the squad and figuring out what weaknesses need to be filled for the following season.

What’s your team name, and how did you come up with it?
The Dad Jokes. We came up with it because everyone except one team member is a dad. So it just felt right.

What’s your favorite part about playing in SPORTSKIND leagues?
It’s the people. The league definitely brings in some genuine individuals. From staff to players it is an over all great experience to play in the league and meet new players.

Got a favorite team memory or moment that stands out?
Our last season we had a buzzer beater by one of our bigs in the first game of the season. Fun way to start off our first game.

What song would play during your team’s highlight reel? 
OutKast – SpottieOttieDopaliscious has we all love a good marching band song. We’re all from the late 80s and early 90s. Imagine that intro on a highlight reel. Fire!!

What’s your post-game drink or hangout spot of choice? 
With everyone being a Dad post game drinks have been Gatorade’s and our own couches. It’s tough out here for old knees and taking care of babies.
