Issue #0

At DeoBlock, we’ve spent years working with Equipment Managers and Coaches across high school, college, and professional sports. We’ve seen firsthand how much heart and hustle it takes to keep a team running and equipment staff are the backbone of every team. Yet their stories, their grind, and their impact too often go unnoticed.

That’s why we started Locker Room Talk. It’s about giving credit where it’s long overdue.

Welcome to Locker Room Talk.

Here’s what you can expect every month:

🗓️Once-a-month Drops

You won't get spammed. We’re keeping it high-quality, well thought out, once a month.

🎖️Equipment Manager of the Month

Every month, we’ll spotlight one Equipment Manager to shed light on the profession. As a thank you, they’ll receive a $100 Prepaid Gift Card + a matching donation to a Charity of their choice from us at Deo Company.

🚀From Entrepreneurs to EMs

Late nights, weekends, last-minute problems, and nonstop pressure—Sounds a lot like the startup world, too. We live it. Each issue, we’ll share real-world lessons from our entrepreneurial journey that tie directly into the life of an EM.
