Please listen with care.  Former Michigan State University and ex-USA Gymnastics Larry Nassar is serving upwards of 175 years in prison after admitting to molesting some of the nation's top gymnasts for years under the guise of medical treatment. But while he rots in prison, the athletes he preyed upon are moving mountains to prevent more Larry Nassars from walking freely through the world. Grace French is one of those movers and shakers. The founder of the Army of Survivors movement, Grace has dedicated her life to changing the culture of sport, consent, and institutional accountability to make sure that no one has to endure sexual violence or abuse.

On October 16, 1968, Tommie Smith and John Carlos lifted their fists to give the Black Power salute during the national anthem at the medal ceremony in the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City. Smith and Carlos won gold and bronze medals, respectively, in the 200-meter dash. The International Olympic Committee president deemed the act to be a domestic political statement that was inappropriate for the apolitical Olympic Games. As a result, the two were suspended from the American team, banned from the Olympic Village, and expelled from the Games. Smith continued in athletics and played in the NFL before becoming a professor. Carlos also played in the NFL and later became a high school track and field coach. In 2008, Smith and Carlos received the Arthur Ashe Courage Award at ESPYs for their action at the Olympics. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

When former national champion college basketball coach and ESPN analyst Jim Valvano accepted the Arthur Ashe Courage Award for his battle with cancer at the first ESPY Awards, no one was sure if he would have the strength to even take the stage. What followed was a rousing 11-minute long call to action that spurred a new chapter in the fight against cancer. Michael O'Connor, director of the SC Featured special, The Speech, shares the details of Jimmy V's life that became encapsulated in one incredible moment of determination as his health failed, to deliver his message to the world and launch a foundation that continues working to achieve his final dream — finding a cure for cancer. To date, ESPN has helped the V Foundation raise more than $195 million for game-changing cancer research, accounting for more than half of the $310 million the V has granted to date.

Today's episode is about getting into bigger rooms with bigger people than you. Rooms where you're not the teacher, but the student. This is the ticket to exponential growth towards becoming extraordinary in whatever aspect of life you're focused on improving. I tell a story from my life where I put myself in a room with Pat Summitt: Olympic Gold and Silver medalist, Naismith Basketball Coach of the Century, 11th in Sports News list of 50 Greatest Coaches of all Time and the only woman on that list. Awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Barack Obama, received the Arthur Ashe Courage Award at the ESPYs and inducted into the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame. I put myself in this room to grow myself mentally and physically beyond what I knew was possible staying in my own comfortable bubble. In this room Pat Summitt pushed me beyond my limits along with 500+ other girls. I was exposed to a hunger in other human beings to excel that I never knew existed and I share something that happened at the end of the training camp something Pat Summitt gave me that changed my life forever.

Hello and welcome to Open Stance.I am your host,Tracey Hiete Smith, and in this episode I am joined by Trinea Gonczar.Trinea is a former elite gymnast from Lansing, Michigan where she trained under 2012 Gold Medal Olympic Women's Gymnastics coach John Geddert. (Geddert was charged in 2018 on multiple criminal charges including sex trafficking and first degree criminal sexual assault involving a minors. Geddert died by suicide in 2021 shortly after being charged with felony crimes)In 2018, the world watched in anguish, as Trinea stood in court and delivered a heart wrenching Victim Impact Statement to her abuser, the former renowned USA Olympic gymnastics team doctor, Larry Nassar. Her statement went global within hours.Trinea was 37 years old when she first confronted the realization that she too was one of hundreds of victims of childhood sexual abuse at the hands of her perpetrator Larry Nassar. It has been recognized that Trinea is one the earliest victims enduring an estimated 800 “treatments” beginning at 6 years old.Since the trial, Trinea has joined forces with the Avalon Healing Center in Michigan, as the Director of Development, where she focuses on bringing national awareness to the comprehensive services available to victims of sexual assault and abuse.http://avalonhealing.orgTrinea features in the HBO documentary At The Heart of Gold: Inside The USA Gymnastics Scandal, in 2022 is a guest on the Dr. Phil Show and Trinea was honored in 2018 at the ESPYS- one of hundreds of brave survivors-receiving the Arthur Ashe Courage Award.

What happens next for Trinea when she is left to cope with her truth as a survivor of childhood sexual abuse? This is an exceptionally raw and emotional conversation in which Trinea shares the very human side of her trauma from childhood sexual abuse. She confronts her truths when coping with the immense emotions of guilt and shame and talks about Finding Time to Heal in the throes of family life, pregnancy, motherhood and career.

I am so inspired and so proud of your determination to push through your own pain in order to help support and protect others.

A portion of our Young Turks Main Show from July 16, 2015. For more go to http://www.tytmembership.com.  Hour 1: Cenk hosting. A military recruiting and training center in Tennessee was attacked today, killing 4 members of the military. The shooter fired a very powerful automatic rifle. The dead shooter was a 24 year old Muslim man that was an American citizen. Cenk is annoyed that the Dylann Roof mass shooting wasn't considered a terrorist attack when it was just like this terrorist attack. Sandra Bland, a Black woman, was arrested on Friday by Texas police officers and held until Monday, when they found her dead body in the holding cell. Officials have called it suicide, but friends and family are disputing the claim. Video of officers making the arrest where they claim she assaulted the cop. After the deal in Greece and the Europeans was approved by the government, citizens took to the streets in protest. The peaceful protests turned into violence against riot police officers. Hour 2: Ana joins Cenk for SCS. Controversy over Caitlyn Jenner winning the Arthur Ashe Courage Award at the ESPYs. Bob Costas went on the Dan Patrick show and called it a crass exploitation play and that they could've found someone more deserving. Actor and director Peter Berg posted a picture of a soldier that lost his legs that was rumored to have lost the award to Jenner at the last minute, saying he lost 2 legs for this “man” to lose two balls. It has also been rumored that Caitlyn Jenner won the award because it was in exchange for the exclusive interview with Diane Sawyer earlier this year.
