Guard the Yard

Guard the Yard with Yeardley Smith is a sports interview show that goes beyond the game. In a world where winning is everything and everyone is watching, Yeardley sits down with professional athletes to find out how they personally measure success, and who they are when the uniform comes off. These are warm, wide-ranging conversations with professional athletes about the careers that shaped them, the lives they’ve built beyond their sport, and the experiences, passions, quirks, and questions that make them who they are. Then, before time runs out, each guest faces a rapid-fire round inspired by the clock in their game. Every player, in every sport, in every position, has a story. Guard the Yard wants to hear it.
