“And you don’t have to leave the comfort of your living room or office,” says Sporty’s Vice President John Zimmerman.  “Our webinars can be viewed anywhere you have an internet connection and on your mobile device.”

Complete descriptions of the webinars are available at Sportys.com/webinars.  Live presentations are scheduled nearly every month and begin on Thursdays at 8pm Eastern time.  If you can’t make a live presentation or wish to review the information at a later date, all of Sporty’s webinars are recorded and available in the webinar archive for viewing.
