From The Editor: Digging Deep in 2011

One year later, Matador Sports is still evolving. Besides your’s truly and Lindi Horton, mSports first-ever intern, we’ve had a couple of talented individuals join our team: Morgan Leahy deBoer, a San Diego-based travel writer and one of the most consistently good-natured people I’ve ever worked with, and Benita Hussain, a multitalented writer, surfer, yogi, and sometimes-lawyer from New York.

Meanwhile, we’ve put up some of our strongest writing yet. We sat in on a climbing film shoot and interviewed Gulf Coast surfers and anglers in the wake of the BP oil spill; we hopped into the boxing ring in Thailand and learned how to use yoga to climb, ski, and bike better.

In 2011, we’ll be digging even deeper and exploring new ways of moving and writing. As always, we hope you’ll come along for the ride, whether as a contributor or a reader of Matador Sports.
