Teddy Leinbach

Teddy is an up and coming filmmaker and and failed MLB pitcher.  After his club baseball career at VCU didn't take off like he wanted, he focused on filmmaking where his awarding-winning film, AfterShak, a documentary about the VCU basketball team, launched him into the wild world of the silver screen.  His other films have screened at film festivals across the country, including Cucalorus, the Student Art Festival, and the LA All Sports Film Festival.  He may be a 10 handicap on the course but he's scratch in the editing room!

HAYDEN swanson

Hayden is a recent graduate of Boston University where he narrowly missed walking on the basketball team.  Instead, he spent his time studying Swahili and Psychology, playing the occasional round of golf, and breaking hearts.  Hayden has conducted research on discrimination in golf, highlighting the continued struggle for people of lower economic classes to become properly acquainted to the game.  He is adventurous, funny, loves to argue, is quite the conversationalist and has a smile worthy of the big screen!
