This week we are thrilled to be joined by seven-time All-American and rising senior on the Utah gymnastics team, Ella Zirbes. Ella is known not only for her beautiful gymnastics but also for being an advocate for mental health in the sport as someone who has very publicly struggled with performance anxiety. We dive deeper into the struggles she's faced and how she's learned to manage her anxiety while competing. We also talk about the pressure and expectations that come with representing a program with as rich a legacy as the Red Rocks, dealing with social media, and the roller coaster that was her junior season.Thank you to our monthly Patreon supporters: Lee B, Cookiemaster, Happy Girl, Erica S, Semflam, Amy C, Becca S, Cathleen R, Faith, Kerry M, Derek H, Emily, Sharon B, MSU, Kimberly G, Lela M, Mara L, Jenna A, Alex M, Dana, Lidia, Maria P, Alicia O, Cristina K, Hayley B, Bethany J, Kentiemac, Marni S, Betny T, Emily C, Cathy D, Lisa T, Libby C, Thiago, Debbie, Taryn M, Amy M, Chuck C, Kaitlin, Susan P, LFC_Hokie, Ella, Kay, Julie B, Austin K, Jane, Sarah, Amy, Stephen S, Johanna T, Alison S, Alberto D, Kristina T, Abigail W, Jennifer K, Kate M, Naomi S, Claudia L, Erin L, Thomas B, Lauren D, Kihika M, Beth C, Amy, Renee PM, Ryan V, Brandon H, Okcaro, Tyler, Paola, Heather, Kate, Danielle, ALittleUnderRotated, Lacy, Dana C, Grace, Pat G, Lexi G, Laura N, Kathy, Katie A, Róisín, Megan J, Emily D, Britton, Ry Shep, Reyna G, William A, MB, Jackson G, Stella, Ulo F, Noah C, Melissa H, Alexis, William M, Susie, Leslie G, Catherine B, Laura L, Katy S, Kathy M, Kathy S, Okcaro,  JD B, Cookiecutter, SuniFan, Caroline M, kcmojojojo, Sammy S, Fabio B, Lacie M, Sara G, Kerry H, Leah D, Margaret G, Molly, ClemsonTigersFan, Lisa B, Sarah M, Grace M, Laura A, Justin D, Jas, Kendrick C, Rich A, Ty T, Nick S, Becky E, Annsley M, Melody M, Stacey M, Erica H, Kathy, Teressa, Angela C, Bridgett C, Ashley D, Whitney J, Shelly A, Erika B, DFP, Lisa M, Samantha T & Mallory D!

In this episode of Sideline Dad, powered by the I Am Dad Podcast Network, host Javin Foreman welcomes Tom Henske, founder of Total Cents and Total Cents University. Tom is a certified financial planner, University of Virginia professor, former two-time All-American soccer player, three-time NCAA champion, author, and financial education leader helping young people, athletes, parents, and universities build stronger financial habits. This conversation connects the world of sports to the world of money. Just like athletes do not wait until game day to prepare, young people should not wait until their first paycheck, NIL deal, endorsement, or career opportunity to learn how money works. Javin and Tom discuss how parents can use ordinary moments such as car rides, dinner conversations, sports fees, shoe purchases, and youth athletics to teach children discipline, decision-making, saving, stewardship, responsibility, and gratitude.

Before we're officially out of July and the 250th anniversary of the United States, we had to create an All-American episode of AMTP celebrating our national pastime, baseball. (And no, we're not covering ALL AMERICAN.) It's DAMN YANKEES, and we're doing it with the wonderful Chryssie Whitehead (A CHORUS LINE, CHICAGO, FOSSE). Tune in to hear all things sports, Verdon, and the profound humanity found in this crown jewel of Faustian musicals. For more Adler & Ross, listen to our episode about the hit musical that premiered only one season before DAMN YANKEES: THE PAJAMA GAME with Jonathan Chisolm and Doug Carfrae.

Allie Ostrander picked up running inspired by her older sister Taylor. She quickly took to it and during her high school career completely dominated the track and cross country scene in Alaska. After finishing high school she joined the Boise State Broncos and became a multiple time All American across track and cross country as well as a three time national champion in the 3000m steeplechase. In this week's episode we chat with Allie about how she got her start in running, her successful college career as well as the ups and downs of being an elite athlete. Allie is coming off two US Championships medals recently, having finishing 3rd in the 6k championship race and 2nd in the 8k championships, everything is coming up Allie. But we also discuss the backside of professional running, Allie has suffered from an eating disorder that presented itself just as her running was taking off. Now having recovered she is very transparant about the dangerous of not catching it early, and gives insight to what other young runners can do to avoid suffering from an ED.  The interview with Allie starts 46.20 minutes into the episode.  Manne försöker navigera ett ömmande skenben och har flyttat hem skierg-maskinen till altanen.

//The Wire//2300Z July 24, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: TARGETING CONTINUES TO ESCALATE THROUGHOUT MIDDLE EAST. EXPLOSIVES RECOVERED DURING RAID IN IRELAND. SHILOH HENDRIX CONVICTED OF DISORDERLY CONDUCT IN LANDMARK FREE SPEECH CASE.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Middle East: Iranian strikes continue to target American military installations around the region. Most of the American bases in Kuwait have been struck regularly by Iranian drones, and missile attacks remain constant at American positions in Jordan. This morning, the Patriot battery in Erbil was targeted again, with local Iraqis reporting large smoke plumes emitting from the section of the base where the launchers are located. Some successful interceptions of drones were also reported along with the more unconfirmed targeting efforts which can't yet be geolocated or verified with satellite imagery.Iran: American targeting continues to escalate as well. Airstrikes have been observed in Bandar Abbas, Jask, and Qeshm Island, along with more substantial strikes at the underground missile cities in Khorramabad and Yazd. Coastal targets remain an American priority as the ports and marinas housing small boats using the IRGCN are constantly targeted.Red Sea/HOA: This afternoon the war between the Houthis and Saudi Arabia flared up once again, with both belligerents trading strikes this evening. The Yemeni port (and Houthi stronghold) of Hodeida was struck, with fires continuing to burn late into the night. Ireland: This morning an explosive device was discovered during a series of raids throughout the regions near the border with Northern Ireland. One suspect was arrested after a bag containing plastic explosives (allegedly Semtex) and a detonator was discovered in her vehicle.Analyst Comment: Details are very sketchy and vague, but this incident generally aligns with some of the other incidents that have recently taken place regarding explosives in Northern Ireland or adjacent areas. Much of the time the person arrested in possession of an explosive device is not the actual assailant, but instead transporting a package that they do not know the contents of. What the story is in this case, is not known. However, this is another reminder that even though Northern Ireland might be out of the mainstream news cycle, paramilitary groups are very much active throughout the region, and the causes of the Belfast riots last month have not been forgotten.-HomeFront-Minnesota: Last night, after a four day jury trial that involved multiple Somali interpreters, Shiloh Hendrix was convicted of one count of disorderly conduct, for calling a Somalian a name while being harassed on a Rochester playground in May of last year.Analyst Comment: This landmark First Amendment case is being appealed on the grounds that the judge in the case refused to allow evidence to be presented, verbally abused the defense council in front of the jury, and allowed one the the star witnesses in the case to commit perjury while on the stand.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Indications and warnings continue to point toward a widening of the war, possibly to include more serious targeting efforts over the next few days/weeks. All American aircraft that were stationed at Al Udeid Airbase in Qatar have been relocated to Ovda Airbase in Israel, and King Hussein International Airport in Jordan, both of which have been targeted by Iran since their movement earlier this week. Otherwise, military aviation has been extremely active throughout the region, with many assets being moved around from base to base.On the messaging front within the homeland, other more generalized indicators are stacking up too. The media blitz to urge a widening of the war has re-intensified to a staggering degree, to similar levels in the days leading up to the war back in February. Rhetoric from official White House sources has likewise continued to expand the war, with the announced targets now including more tunnels and bridges along with more deliberately civilian infrastructure such as power plants, and water treatment/desalination facilities. All things considered, as the weekend approaches more targeting is likely.Analyst: S2A1 Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground NomadNet: 5fa68c88be727a0e1a250a75e5e79269 Disclaimer: No LLMs were used in the writing of this report. //END REPORT//

The Ole Miss Rebels generate buzz as Pete Golding commands attention at SEC Media Days, leaving analysts rethinking the impact of X's and O's versus pure roster talent. With Pete Golding's candidness and a stacked defensive backfield featuring Jay Crawford, Edwin Joseph and Joenel Aguero, expectations for the Rebels' defense soar—especially with new depth aimed at shutting down explosive offenses like LSU and Georgia Brian Smith and Steven Willis spotlight the ascending wide receiver trio of Deuce Alexander, Johntay Cook II, and Horatio Fields. They discuss how impact Michigan State transfer running back Makhi Frazier will have behind All-American candidate Kewan Lacy, and how the Rebels' depth exploded during the offseason overall. The conversation tackles Lane Kiffin's Media Day strategy, the importance of upgraded secondary play, and a critical season opener against Louisville, where Lincoln Kienholz's mobility could test the revamped defense.

In this episode of SportsLifeTalk's You Got Next, we sit down with one of the nation's top-ranked Class of 2029 prospects to discuss the journey, mindset, and relentless work ethic that's making her one of the brightest young stars in girls basketball, high school basketball recruiting, and the future of women's basketball.Standing 6-foot-2, Makenzie is a standout at Cypress Springs High School in Texas and one of the premier players on the national stage. Known for her versatility, physicality, elite rebounding, court vision, and ability to impact every aspect of the game, she's already established herself as one of the country's most complete young players. Whether she's scoring inside, pushing the break, finding open teammates, or dominating the glass, Makenzie plays with a confidence that separates her from the competition.Throughout this conversation, Makenzie shares how her basketball journey began after trying soccer before falling in love with the game. Inspired by watching her older sister play and competing against boys at a young age, she quickly developed the toughness and competitive edge that define her game today.One of the biggest themes throughout the episode is versatility. Makenzie explains why she prides herself on being able to do everything on the court—score, rebound, defend, facilitate, and lead. Rather than limiting herself to one role, she's constantly working to become a complete player capable of impacting winning in every possible way.Away from basketball, fans get to know the person behind the rankings. Makenzie talks about her close-knit family, growing up with seven siblings, her love for music, learning to play the piano, and staying grounded despite the growing national attention surrounding her career.The conversation also dives into recruiting and the future. While scholarship offers and national rankings are exciting, Makenzie says education remains the top priority. She wants a college that values academics, provides a family atmosphere, and knows how to maximize her abilities on the court.As one of Texas' premier young prospects, Makenzie has already set her sights on winning a state championship, competing for national titles on the Nike EYBL circuit, earning McDonald's All-American honors, and one day hearing her name called in the WNBA Draft. Those goals aren't just dreams—they're daily motivations that fuel every workout and every game.This episode is packed with valuable lessons for athletes, parents, coaches, and basketball fans who love discovering tomorrow's stars before the rest of the country. Makenzie's journey is proof that talent opens doors, but discipline, versatility, and relentless work ethic are what build lasting success.At SportsLifeTalk Media, our mission is to amplify the voices of the athletes, coaches, and leaders shaping the future of girls' and women's basketball.

“I want to be the light for everyone” ~ Pancho LalouluI heard about Pancho Laloulu when he signed at Oregon. And I've interviewed him many times calling his games during his All-American career. But it wasn't until today's Y-Option podcast where I truly felt I got to know him. You will too, as he shares the story of how he lost his baby brother and the lifelong impact that has had on him and his view of the world.Pancho was in fourth grade and woke up to yelling in the middle of the night to find his older brother performing CPR on their 11-month-old sibling, Mai. The light of that house. The one who greeted everyone at the door with a smile after school.Pancho and his family lost him that morning.And after that Pancho didn't get quiet, didn't get resentful. Rather, he got grateful.That word, grateful, kept coming through in our conversation on today's Y-Option podcast, fueled by our founding sponsor 76, keeping you on the GO GO GO so you never miss a beat.As an All-American in 2025 and projected All-Everything in 2026, he lives with the lens that every day above ground is a gift. Pancho's path to center is one he almost refused to go down as a freshman. He envisioned himself playing guard, mauling people and leading the Ducks O-line. But when it came, he took it. And when it was hard and taken away, he went back to work.Heading into 2026 the Duck's offensive line, once again, is a frontrunner for the Joe Moore Award and Pancho is the centerpiece of it under Coach Dan Lanning. And like Dante Moore, Pancho chose to return for 2026, as this roster is mission minded.I've written about Coach Lanning's DNA traits often: Connection. Growth. Toughness. Sacrifice. And Pancho is living them at every turn, with every block.Hope you enjoy today's conversation.

On the Flyover Conservatives Show, David and Stacy Whited sit down with Ben Kjar, the inspiring subject of Angel Studios' new film STAND OUT.

He also reveals his “3XSC” formula for achieving goals by calling your shot, surrounding yourself with the right people, and setting a clear deadline. This powerful conversation will challenge you to confront fear, stop settling for average, and step into the extraordinary purpose God has placed inside you.TO WATCH ALL FLYOVER CONTENT: www.theflyoverapp.com Follow and Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheFlyoverConservativesShow To Schedule A Time To Talk To Dr. Dr. Kirk Elliott Go To ▶ https://flyovergold.comOr Call 720-605-3900 ► Receive your FREE 52 Date Night Ideas Playbook to make date night more exciting, go to www.prosperousmarriage.comBen KjarANGEL: https://www.angel.com/watch/standoutPRIME: https://www.amazon.com/Standout-Kjar-Story-Tanner-Christensen/dp/B0GX19RGH1WEBSITE: https://benkjar.comCALL YOUR SHOT: https://3xsc.comBen Kjar is an international motivational speaker, world champion wrestler, entrepreneur, and the inspiring subject of Angel Studios' film STAND OUT.

Gene Zannetti talks with North Dakota State NCAA All-American Gavin Drexler about taking fourth at the U23 World Trials and rediscovering how to wrestle free when the pressure of placement is removed, how going up a weight to 149 as the lowest seed with the most losses of any All-American that year taught him that giving full effort matters more than the outcome, wrestling through a banged-up knee at nationals and reframing it as one more thing to overcome rather than an excuse, and how seven to eight years of pre-match routines and positive affirmations gave him the ability to override doubt with the work he had already put in.Timestamps:5:52 - Wrestled free with no expectations at U23 World Trials10:59 - Lowest seed with the most losses of any All-American11:44 - Doing all the right things but still not competing to his capability14:14 - Dennis Hall's Greco fundamentals built his hand-fighting foundation21:45 - Chose North Dakota State on gut instinct25:13 - Big 12 breakthrough: avenged a loss and punched his ticket to nationals29:06 - Lost his first match at nationals, let it go, rode the backside to All-American35:55 - Biggest lesson: you have control over what you feed yourself

He bet his uncle he could beat him in a race, and that was the start of everything.Handal Roban grew up in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines playing cricket before a single track meet at age fifteen changed his trajectory.  When the cricket team pushed him out, he didn't look back. Instead, he chased the guys who beat him—literally moving to Jamaica to train at Jamaica College High School, one of the most decorated prep programs in the Caribbean. That decision, he says, taught him how to navigate being the underdog, how to thrive in discomfort, and how to carry the weight of a new culture in silence when no one could understand a word he said.At Penn State, Roban has quietly built one of the most decorated careers in school history: two Big Ten Freshman of the Year awards; multiple All-American honors; a trip to the Paris Olympics at 21 years of age; and a 1:42.87 at the 2025 NACAC Championships that left him thinking the clock was broken. That time made him the second-fastest 800m runner in NCAA history. He still can't fully believe it.But what defines Roban isn't the resume, it's the philosophy underneath it. Stop chasing times. Find your mantra. Get comfortable being uncomfortable. Don't respect your competitors so much that you forget to race them. And when the butterflies show up before the gun, don't fight them, channel them.With one year of eligibility remaining and an NCAA title still on his list, Roban isn't close to done.Tap into the Handal Roban Special. If you enjoy the podcast, please consider following us on Spotify and Apple Podcasts and giving us a five-star review!

Will Garinger can't explain how Run with Christ became so popular—and that might be the point.Less than two years after a group of 20-year-olds gathered in a Columbus park in September 2024, Run with Christ spans more than 85 cities across seven nations and three continents. Its founder never ran competitively. Garinger was a goalkeeper—an All-American who left for a Phoenix soccer academy at 16, jumped into life insurance sales at 18, and landed a Division I roster spot at UNC Greensboro. Every rung up the ladder looked right and felt empty. Behind the résumé was a kid cycling through addiction, shame, and Sunday-morning resets, hiding from everyone—including his own father.The turning point came one week after the run club launched. On September 14, 2024, a stranger prayed over Garinger, asked about his relationship with his dad, and named things nobody could have known. Garinger fell apart, confessed twenty years of hiding, and walked out a different man.In this conversation, Garinger and Dominic dig into why the most connected generation in history is the loneliest, why discipline and human connection are the only currencies you can't fake in the AI era, and why your worth never changes based on what you produce. Garinger shares the question he asks everyone searching for purpose: What makes you angry when you look at the world? Whatever you believe, this one is about getting outside yourself.Tap into the Will Garinger Special. If you enjoy the podcast, please consider following us on Spotify and Apple Podcasts and giving us a five-star review!

TFL Shotgun Fest 2026 is coming to central Minnesota this July, and this year two shotgun Hall of Famers are teaching the clinics. Steve Gould joins Nick to walk through the whole weekend. On this episode, host Nick Larson brings back Steve Gould, creator of the Target Focused Life YouTube channel and part-owner of the Alexandria Shooting Park, to preview the second annual TFL Shotgun Fest. The event runs Friday, July 24 (development day plus VIP night) and Saturday, July 25 (the main shooting day) at the Alexandria Shooting Park in central Minnesota. The headline this year is the talent. Corey Cruz, a two-time national champion, world champion, and National Sporting Clays Hall of Fame inductee, is running sporting clays clinics. Richard Marshall Jr., a 35-time All-American and multiple Grand American winner on the trap side, is running trap clinics. Both are kept small on purpose: five shooters per session, half a day, real range time and real feedback. Del Whitman is on-site doing gun fittings. Beyond the clinics there are manufacturer demos where you can get hands-on and actually shoot a rack of different shotguns, an Upland Gun Company booth with a new RFM shotgun to see, and over $10,000 in prizes, including a custom 250th-anniversary shotgun for high overall. Then there's the unconventional stuff Steve's crew is known for: the Can Cannon Challenge, the Benelli AI Challenge, and the Wheel of Shotgun Fortune. The day closes with an Annie Oakley tournament and a social hangout. There's a thread running under all of it that matters more than the prize wall. Steve talks about how people are starved for in-person connection, and how an event like this is really about getting folks who love shotguns in the same place for a weekend. We also get into Steve's first trip to Italy and the Benelli and Perazzi factories, the Minnesota high school trap tournament that ran 7,700 kids through the range, a good stretch on barrel length and gun fit, and the ShotTracker training tool that might one day track a flushing grouse. Clinics, camping, and tickets are limited, so check the website for current availability.

Have you ever had a relative that you enjoyed sitting by during family functions because they always had good stories to tell? Ben Tucker is that kind of guy. He's known for his storytelling performances as part of the Oakland based Stagebridge, where he tells stories about his ‘storied' life. His family was part of the Great Migration of African-Americans to the West- he grew up in SF's Bayview neighborhood.  He was an All-American track star back in the 1960s when he ran for San Jose State. And Ben has been a preschool teacher in Berkeley, a social worker in Harlem and a track coach in Nigeria.He immerses readers in all these life adventures in his new memoir, “A Good Run.” KALW's Jenee Darden spoke with Ben on the Sights and Sounds show.
