In the second special celebrity episode of Why Care? I am joined by the multi-talented, Double Olympic Champion, Dame Kelly Holmes. We dive deeper into her  journey of self-discovery, personal experiences, and traumas, which she explores in her powerful memoir Unique. Kelly shares her emotional backstory in which she concealed her true identity and sexuality from the public and lived in fear for most of her life. We discuss the discriminatory military laws and systemic mistreatment of LGBTQ+ individuals in the British army, as well as the mental health impact. As a world-class athlete, Kelly opens up about the pressure to hide her sexuality, and how she overcame her fears and revealed her authentic self publicly. Kelly then shares her experiences attending a Pride event, becoming part of a supportive community, and about her LGBTQ+ advocacy work. At 18, Kelly pursued her dream to be an HGV driver and Physical Training Instructor in the British Army. In 1998, she was awarded a MBE for her services to the British Army and in 2018 became the first individual to be appointed Honorary Colonel to a regular unit. Meanwhile, Kelly also pursued her Olympic dream and was catapulted to fame in 2004 at the Athens Olympic Games for being the first woman ever in Great Britain to win two gold medals at the same games. She continued to raise the bar as an Olympic, Commonwealth, and European champion, achieving seven Gold, eight Silver, and four Bronze medals. She also won BBC Sports Personality of the Year and European Athlete of the Year. During the episode, Kelly shares her experiences of concealing her true identity and the fear she faced in revealing her sexuality to the public. She highlights the importance of education, understanding, acceptance, and authenticity regarding LGBTQ+ issues and the need to normalise attitudes toward the LGBTQ+ community. As Kelly recounts her extraordinary life story, she uncovers her experiences in the military, the traumatic military raids, and discriminatory laws targeting LGBTQ+ individuals. She then exposes the wider systemic discrimination in the military and the psychological traumas and mental health issues it caused, which she explored in her ITV documentary, Kelly Holmes: Being Me. As she developed her public persona as an international Olympic champion and world-class athlete, Kelly opens up about her fear of not being accepted for her sexuality and her anxiety about how this could impact her achievements. As she juggled her dual identity, she used defensive methods and was careful about how she projected herself to avoid judgment. Kelly then went on a journey of self-discovery, and at the age of 50, she finally accepted herself and came out about her sexuality. She embraced her true identity publicly the 2022 London Pride event, which was a powerful moment for her. Kelly acknowledges the pressures, challenges, and complexities of the coming out process, and uses her platform as an opportunity to combat stereotypes and to be an advocate for change. As a motivational speaker, Kelly shares how she connects with and inspires people through her personal experiences, but realises that her sexuality is just one aspect of her life. Now she has found happiness and inner peace, she focuses on her work and achievements and recognises the freedom of living authentically in a world where she can be proud to be herself, without the need for validation.

In 2006 David Eaton won a silver medal on the High Bar at the Commonwealth Games in Melbourne for team Wales. He represented Great Britain throughout the 1990's and early 2000's and competed at the gymnastics world championships in 2001 shortly after the 9/11 terrorist attacks took place in America. Dave's career bridged two generations and he was part of the British team that failed to qualify for the 2004 Athens Olympic Games. He went on to be an early component in the beginning of what became the golden generation of men's gymnastics in Great Britain. An opportunity to study and train in California early in his career in part led to the birth of TURN. Which is now the leading men's gymnastics brand globally. Dave was invited to watch the recent British Championships that took place in Liverpool thanks to the All Around British title he won back in 2001. And this is his story.

In the mid 2000s, Olympic Swimming Champion Roland Schoeman was on top of his game, winning several world titles, breaking world records, and being the first person to legitimately scare the iconic 50m freestyle world record of the great Alexander Popov. Roland Schoeman made a lengthy career as an elite sprinter, and changed the game for many others with his legendary start, a skill we go into in depth in this conversation. Roland Schoeman also tells the story of what led to the South Africans dominating win in the 4x100 freestyle relay at the Athens Olympic Games, one of the greatest moments in Olympic history. He may not be finished yet, as he recently swam 19.2 in a 50 yard freestyle at the age of 42! Enjoy!

He was an Australian Olympian at the 2000 Sydney & 2004 Athens Olympic Games. Before his Olympic career, he went to Auburn University to swim. There he earned seventeen All-American honors and was a nine-time NCAA individual champion, and helped Auburn win two national team championships.   After his Olympic athlete career, he returned to Auburn to become an assistant coach in 2006.

Our “C” word for this week is COMPETITOR. In the “C” You In the Major Leagues vernacular, a Competitor is someone who has a desire and ability to compete; has high expectations; is tough-minded and has the ability to overcome obstacles; and brings out the best in teammates.This week's guest certainly fits that. Although the Olympic Games in Tokyo are over, we wanted to bring you one more guest who's medaled in the Olympics and definitely fits the word Competitor.Terin Humphrey helped the U.S. gymnastics team win its first gold medal at the World Gymnastics Championships in 2003, and then won two silver medals a year later at the Olympic Games in Athens, Greece.She then went to the University of Alabama, where she was an 11-time NCAA All-American, and won the national championship in the uneven bars in 2005 and 2007. Unfortunately, she had to retire from competitive gymnastics in 2008, during her senior year, shortly before the NCAA national meet.She's in the USA Gymnastics Hall of Fame, where she was inducted as part of a team in 2008, and then individually in 2015.As if all of that's not enough, she competed on American Ninja Warrior twice, she's a former police officer, and she was on the selection team for USA gymnastics for the 2012 and ‘16 Olympic Games.This interview was recorded at the end of July in front of our C-10 students and mentors at Musical Theater Heritage inside Crown Center in downtown Kansas City. As is the case with these conversations that we record in front of our students, some of the chat has been deleted to keep some of the conversation private between Terin and the students.Before we introduced Terin that night, we showed the video of her silver medal performance on the uneven bars, and you can find that link in this week's show notes. We open the conversation by asking Terin about the nervousness she felt before and during that routine.LINKS:To watch Terin's silver medal performance at the Athens Olympic Games, click here.For more information about the C-10 Mentoring & Leadership program for high school students, visit our website.To make a financial gift to give students life-changing one-on-one mentoring, visit our secure donation page.For all episodes of the C-10 podcast and ways you can listen, click here.If you'd like to make a comment, have a suggestion for a future guest, or your company would like to help underwrite this podcast, please visit our contact page.

Alison Robitaille came within two seconds of winning this year's Upperville Jumping Classic, the $213,000 finale to the prestigious Upperville Colt & Horse Show. But it was meaningful for the local rider nonetheless since this was her home show. A native Virginian, Alison has ridden on this turf all her life. She inherited her passion for horse sports and first made her mark on the U.S. Team when she was selected for the 1998 World Equestrian Games in Rome where she was the highest placed American rider at the tender age of 22. Since then she has been on the 1999 Pan American Games team in Winnipeg and at the 2004 Athens Olympic Games where she represented the USET as the first alternate. Other career highlights include the winning Nations Cup Team and third in the Grand Prix in Buenos Aires in 2012. Alison has competed at five World Cup Finals, won more than 40 Grand Prixs and ridden on 25 Nations Cup team. Alison says the most important thing in her life now is being a mom to her two daughters, Ava and Zoe, and arranging her show schedule to fit in with them.

Dr. Allen Lim, the founder of Skratch Labs, is today's esteemed podcast philosopher. With his Ph.D. from the University of Colorado, Lim continues to pioneer new practices in sports physiology and applied training. He is one of the few who will sometimes say that the science is B.S., and that metrics, and the interpretation thereof, constitute only a portion of the overall support system a good coach provides to his or her athletes. On a personal level, Lim coached Colby through the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, bringing a more scientific approach to the sport of track cycling. In the second half of the show, food becomes the subject of conversation. Food is often viewed as fuel—and only fuel—by endurance athletes. Lim, author of three books about food and cooking, including The Feed Zone Cookbook: Fast and Flavorful Food for Athletes, preaches about eating and the importance of having a good relationship with food. In Lim's view, food provides energy not just to power your legs for five-hour rides. Food has chi; and athletes have intuition regarding what and how much food to eat to keep their bodies in balance. The sport-induced eating habits of many athletes can be isolating; Lim, however, understands how food can serve as social fuel, which goes well beyond its role as chemical fuel. All this and much more in episode 3 of Cycling in Alignment.

The dearth of women in leadership and in high performance coaching roles is still a problem in sport. In latest episode of On Side we talk to former Sport Australia CEO Kate Palmer on the gulf in parity that still exists in high performance sport and what needs to be done to help women transition into these roles. Palmer says sports need to take a “proactive approach” to, not just equality, but diversity in general. “The reality is that sport is not immune to society,” Palmer says. “Sport reflects all that’s great about society, and all of the things that are bad about society. “Sport can play a role [in promoting women and diversity] because on the whole it’s very public so we can show best practice to other industries and other organisations.” She says thinking about diversity more broadly is really important. “I think acknowledging the differences and including everyone in the decision making is really important, and that goes beyond gender, that goes into multi-cultural areas too, indigenous areas, to disability, everyone, putting a voice around the table for all.” We also talk to Commonwealth Games gold medallist Cara Honeychurch, who has a unique perspective as both an athlete and an administrator. “I have to say I had a very positive experience throughout my whole life, I’ve never really felt that being a women has held me back,” Honeychurch, one of Australia’s most successful ten pin bowlers, says. “My sport of tenpin bowling has always been very inclusive, and very welcoming of women.” Honeychurch, who is now General Manager of Corporate Services at Athletics Australia, says she is “very aware” her experience is “very much the exception” rather than the norm. And in our segment From the Highlight Reel, we re-live the 400m freestyle event at the Athens Olympic Games through the lens of Ian Thorpe’s coach – Tracey Menzies. Menzies says she faced criticism for having a coaching philosophy that differed from her (mostly male) peers. “Sometimes there has been a bit of a criticism that I’ve shown too much empathy for people and compassion but I sort of wear that as a badge of honour now, that I actually have that vulnerability that I’m prepared to show who I am and care for the athlete,” she says. “Having the capacity to hear what we say, and to understand, if we do things a little differently, that’s ok. Not everyone has to coach the same way, behave the same way, and different is actually good.” In the segment From Left Field our athlete educator Annabelle Cleary answers the question, “Do coaches get in trouble if an athlete tests positive?” See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

“Lead an interesting life”.  This was the advice that a young Carol Newman Cronin, hopeful author and sailor, was given when she asked about increasing her odds on achieving her dream of becoming published.  Since asking that question, she has given herself plenty to write about.  Carol has competed at the highest levels of sailing: representing the country in the Athens Olympic Games, ’04 Yngling Worlds and taking home the trophy in the ’18 Snipe Women’s Worlds and she has channeled all of her on the water experiences into her writing.  This summer her forth book, Ferry to Cooperation Island was released. In this episode, we sit down with Carol to talk about her Olympic experiences, small town dynamics, and the challenges of releasing a book during a world-wide pandemic.  Take a listen!

Lindsey Wright (née Carlisle) had a glittering career playing hockey for South Africa. Having made her debut for Zimbabwe, Lindsey switched allegiance and became a South African hero with 209 caps, which included playing at the Sydney and Athens Olympic Games. It was a career packed highlights - even before she started coaching. As a coach Lindsey won the IPT with Northern Blues and repeated the feat a few years later. She also captured a PHL title, played a starring role in leading the SA U21 side to the Junior World Cup and also assisted the national team. Wright's reputation was such that she was soon approached to coach in Australia. In this thrilling interview Lindsey chats to the Hockey the Podcast boys about all things hockey, coming from an international sporting family, being married to a hockey man and the disappointment at not being the national coach of SA. She's the third Wright in the spotlight, and as always, it's a must-listen.

Dr. Allen Lim, the founder of Skratch Labs, is today’s esteemed podcast philosopher on Cycling in Alignment with Colby Pearce. With his Ph.D. from the University of Colorado, Lim continues to pioneer new practices in sports physiology and applied training. He is one of the few who will sometimes say that the science is B.S., and that metrics, and the interpretation thereof, constitute only a portion of the overall support system a good coach provides to his or her athletes. On a personal level, Lim coached Colby through the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, bringing a more scientific approach to the sport of track cycling. In the second half of the show, food becomes the subject of conversation. Food is often viewed as fuel—and only fuel—by endurance athletes. Lim, author of three books about food and cooking, including The Feed Zone Cookbook: Fast and Flavorful Food for Athletes, preaches about eating and the importance of having a good relationship with food. In Lim’s view, food provides energy not just to power your legs for five-hour rides. Food has chi; and athletes have intuition regarding what and how much food to eat to keep their bodies in balance. The sport-induced eating habits of many athletes can be isolating; Lim, however, understands how food can serve as social fuel, which goes well beyond its role as chemical fuel. All this and much more in episode 3 of Cycling in Alignment. Loneliness is a fundamental breach between who one is and who one pretends to be. - Moustakas REFERENCES: LUX camp is June 15th to July 15th.

Richard Freeman's special guest this week SK Shlomo. Simon Shlomo Kahn, better known as Shlomo or SK Shlomo, is one of the world's most celebrated vocal performers and a pioneer of the art of human beatboxing. Already a prodigious jazz drummer from the age of eight, SK Shlomo made a name for himself in his late teens and early 20s as a world champion beatboxer, collaborating with Björk on the theme song for the opening of the 2004 Athens Olympic Games - which she performed, with Shlomo's vocal instrumentation, to an audience of 3.9 billion people. For the following decade, SK Shlomo's influence on British music was profound - and his establishment of The Vocal Orchestra, the concert series Music Through Unconventional Means and the London Beatbox Academy saw him creating music for theatre, major music festivals, film and digital music resources for education and inclusion programmes. In 2007, SK Shlomo was appointed Artist-In-Residence at London's Southbank Centre, and his wide-ranging collaborations include artists as diverse as Damon Albarn, Ed Sheehan, Lily Allen, Imogen Heap and The Mighty Boost and charities such as Cape Farewell and Medecins Sans Frontier. His award and accolades include Guinness World Records, commendations for his work as a composer and recognition for his advancement of loop station technology - something now regularly used by mainstream artists in live performance. Richard first met SK Shlomo when developing creative learning projects with young people in North London around 11 years ago, and Shlomo had been commissioned to create a huge and inclusive beatbox choir. They caught up just before Christmas 2018, and talked about his career and his music ideas - but we mostly focused on the reasons why he suddenly withdrew from public life, why all of this drive and success came at a price and how that experience is now shaping a new and very different musical journey. --- Useful links: http://skshlomo.com/ https://twitter.com/SKShlomo https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shlomo_(beatboxing_artist) https://www.pledgemusic.com/projects/sk-shlomo-surrender https://youngminds.org.uk/ https://anchor.fm/sk-shlomo https://www.bac.org.uk/content/44921/whats_on/whats_on/shows/frankenstein https://www.southbankcentre.co.uk/whats-on/131330-shlomos-beatbox-adventure-kids-2019 --- If you have enjoyed the conversation, then please share the love and post a review on iTunes and tell your friends.

Welcome to Episode 4 of the Front Office Exchange podcast where I speak with David Perkins, Chief Operating Officer for USA Baseball. David was my first boss in a full-time role, and then after I moved away, got married and returned to North Carolina, he and USA Baseball CEO Paul Seiler hired me back. In my eight years with David, I learned a ton. I'm not sure if I've ever seen someone devour news and information like him, and as a podcast junkie, he was my first call when I started this podcast when it came to looking for advice. Probably my most vivid memory from my time with "Perk" or "Perkins" - as he is almost universally known - is back in 2003 on my first week on the job, he called me just minutes after the final out was made in an Olympic qualifier that unfathomably left Team USA on the outside of the Athens Olympic Games looking in. Part of my job was going to be to help market USA Baseball as the new show in town of the Triangle-area of North Carolina, but the other part was to help market the organization overall and build on the momentum coming off a gold medal with Tommy Lasorda in Sydney. Needless to say, I was panicking. I remember David being calm, though, and saying, "Don't worry, we'll get through this." And although it wasn't easy, we did. It's been amazing to watching USA Baseball's explosive growth in recent years, and I think you'll enjoy hearing from one of the industry's rare executives that have been with one organization his entire career.   Big thanks both to David and to you for listening.

Christopher and Allan interview and host Olympic Athlete Dan Walsh. Dan Walsh knows exactly what it means to be an underdog. Growing up in Norwalk, CT Walsh was considered an at-risk youth, who went on to achieve at high levels due to his determination and love of sport. His competitive spirit thrived during his high school wrestling days, when Walsh pushed himself from a skinny mediocre athlete with a losing record, to an all-County champion. In 2001, Walsh made his first U.S. National Team, where he would compete for the next 12 years and made 11 teams in the process. In 2004, Dan participated in the Athens Olympic Games as an alternate, fueling his fire to compete in 2008, where he eventually won a bronze medal in the men’s eight. After the Beijing games, Walsh was awarded a rare key to the City of Norwalk and a proclamation of “Dan Walsh Day” from the Governor of CT. Dan shares his new business venture Myrmidon Expeditions where he and his partners are providing extreme outdoor adventure platform connecting elite veterans, athletes, and civilians in the most challenging endurance expeditions around the globe. Myrmidon grows leaders both mentally and physically. Dan shares his insight into Embracing the suck in life as he endeavours through life. He believes when life gets scary you have to step into it.

A Brave Man Seven Storeys Tall (Harper) A triumphant literary debut with notes of both The Art of Fielding and The Flamethrowers, which introduces the striking figure of Owen Burr, a gifted Olympics-bound athlete whose dreams of greatness are deferred and then transformed by an unlikely journey from California to Berlin, Athens, Iceland, and back again. Owen Burr, a towering athlete at Stanford University, son of renowned classicist Professor Joseph Burr, was destined to compete in the Athens Olympic Games of 2004. But in his final match at Stanford, he is blinded in one eye. The wound shatters his identity and any prospects he had as an athlete. Determined to make a new name for himself, Owen flees the country and lands in Berlin, where he meets a group of wildly successful artists living in the Teutonic equivalent of Warhol's Factory. An irresistible sight--nearly seven-feet-tall, wearing an eye patch and a corduroy suit--Owen is quickly welcomed by the group's leader, who schemes to appropriate Owen's image and sell the results at Art Basel. With his warped and tortured image on the auction block, Owen seeks revenge. Professor Burr has never been the father he wants to be. Owen's disappearance triggers a call to action. He dusts off his more speculative theory, Liminalism, to embark on a speaking tour, pushing theory to its radical extreme--at his own peril and with Jean Baudrillard's help--in order to send up flares for his son in Athens, Berlin, and Iceland. A compulsively readable novel of ideas, action, and intrigue, A Brave Man Seven Storeys Tall offers a persuasive vision of personal agency, art, family, and the narratives we build for ourselves. Praise for A Brave Man Seven Storeys Tall  "Wry, smart, tender, huge-hearted, Will Chancellor strides onto the page in the spirit of Bellow with writing poised like poetry. A dauntless debut."--Paul Lynch "Owen Burr is a character unlike any you're likely to meet in contemporary literature. Watching him move through the world, and negotiate with his own dreams, is both powerful and revelatory."--Daniel Alarcon "A Brave Man Seven Storeys Tall is an erudite, ambitious, and entertaining work wherein postmodern gods and monsters alike flit into the lives of father and son during the Bush administration of the the early aughts.  The book's academic scenes occasionally give the reader a tongue-in-cheek wink reminiscent of DeLillo's White Noise, while the ex-pat atmosphere possesses the same variety of political tension that fueled recent hits such as The Flamethrowers.  In short, Chancellor belongs to that rare camp of young writers who successfully blend a sense of high-minded intellectualism into a darn good story."--Suzanne Rindell Will Chancellor grew up in Hawaii and in Texas. He made it to the finals of the high school National debate championship at age 15 and was a nationally ranked golfer. At Stanford, Chancellor studied political theory and environmental policy, and after graduation lived in Paris and Prague before ending up at UT Austin for post-grad work in Physics and Ancient Greek.  All along he knew he wanted to write books and eventually ended up in his mother's childhood home, in the bustling metropolis of Pittsburg, TX,  with just a manual typewriter to keep him company. During the eight months that he spent there writing, Chancellor interacted with other people just three times and ate pasta at every meal. But if you're picturing a reclusive, wild eyed, long haired madman (I sure was when he told me this story), think again. Chancellor was fastidious about his appearance, often wearing a dress shirt and tie while he feverishly typed away on one 300ft roll of vellum tracing paper. And this is all before he moved to New York and lived in the Chelsea Hotel. During his three years in the storied hotel, he paid his $800/month rent with a credit card and fell into the cliché of starving artist. To research the book beyond the first draft, Chancellor collaborated on a large-scale sculpture for the New Museum, impersonated a world-renowned painter at Art Basel, and completed a solo traverse of Iceland from the westernmost to easternmost tip.
