Each episode brings back some of the state’s most memorable athletes — the record-breakers, the crowd favorites, and the unsung heroes — to relive the moments that defined an era. From championship runs and rivalries, to locker room stories, and life lessons beyond the game, we go deeper than stats.
This is more than nostalgia.
It’s about honoring the athletes who paved the way for today’s generation. It’s about preserving the history of Connecticut sports culture. It’s about giving flowers to the legends while they can still smell them.
Whether you wore the jersey, cheered from the stands, or grew up hearing the stories — this is your chance to Run It Back!
Eric “LaJuane” Washington, host of Run It Back Podcast, is a mentor and former athlete whose journey is rooted in sports, resilience, and community. A Kaynor Technical High School basketball alum and former Waterbury Knights Pop Warner player, Eric knows firsthand how athletics can shape discipline, identity, and opportunity.
Growing up, sports and programs like Granville Academy helped steer him away from negative influences and toward a purpose-driven path.
Through Run It Back Podcast, Eric brings those life experiences full circle—giving athletes, past and present, a platform to share their stories, lessons, and legacy. His mission is simple: highlight the impact of sports beyond the game, inspire the next generation, and keep the culture and history of local athletics alive.
Run It Back Podcast is reserved for the athletes who set the standard — the ones whose names echo in gymnasiums, whose performances shifted seasons, and whose impact reached beyond the final whistle. This isn’t about hype. It’s about legacy.
