In this episode of The Zingg, Eglantina discusses the concept of the "superwoman" archetype, exploring how it may lead to negative consequences such as burnout, anxiety, and stress. Eglantina shares personal experiences and insights from two champions of female empowerment, Cindy Parlow Cone and Marissa Solis, on why women should embrace vulnerability and not be afraid to ask for help. The discussion delves into the potential harmful effects of societal expectations that women should be invincible and how this can result in feelings of isolation and inadequacy. Eglantina also offers suggestions on how women can overcome the superwoman stigma by seeking support, acknowledging their limitations, setting boundaries, and embracing imperfections.   Follow me on social media: Instagram: @eglantinazingg Twitter: @eglantinazingg Tik Tok: @eglantinazingg   The Zingg   Direction Eglantina Zingg Ricardo E.

Shortly after the publication of Payback, Part 10, the U.S. Soccer Federation announced it had ratified groundbreaking collective bargaining agreements (CBAs) with both the U.S. men's and women's national teams, guaranteeing the players equal pay—the resolution of a decades-long fight by Jessica McDonald the women's team for gender equality. In this extended interview, Alex Andrejev speaks with Dan Lust, an attorney for Geragos & Geragos and the Sports Law professor at New York Law School, about surprising components of those CBAs, unexpected reasons the women's team might have thought this was a bad deal, and the potential ripple effects of this contract across the sports landscape.

In late 2020, something unusual happens: Jessica McDonald and her USWNT teammates lose—this time in court, as the players' lawsuit against the U.S. Soccer Federation suffers a major setback. Yet, with a new president of U.S. Soccer on their side, the groundwork is laid for a breakthrough, including equal payments for the men's and women's teams. At the same time, the National Women's Soccer League signs a collective bargaining agreement with its own players, as veterans like McDonald help set the league — and women's soccer in America — on a path toward a more equitable, even more successful future.

As listeners heard in Part 9 of Payback, the role of athletes acting as advocates has never been more prevalent—or more polarizing. That's particularly true for women athletes of color. In this extended interview, Alex Andrejev speaks with Dr. Leeja Carter, an associate professor of exercise psychology at Temple University, about the intersection of racism, sexism and classism in sport; historical and contemporary representations of Black women's “strength;” and culturally sensitive health and physical activity approaches for women of color.

In early 2019, heated internal negotiations explode into public view as 28 USWNT players, including Jessica McDonald, file a landmark lawsuit against U.S. Soccer for “institutionalized gender discrimination.” In that lawsuit, the players argue they play more games and win more often than the U.S. men's team, yet still receive less pay from the federation; U.S. Soccer counters that the men's games drives more revenue for the federation. And as McDonald and the national team advance to the finals of the 2019 World Cup, they know one more win on the field could signal something even greater off it—generations in the making.

After her first minutes with the U.S. Women's National Team, Jessica McDonald returns to the NWSL, and is once again on the move. This time, it's her entire team, as the Western New York Flash become the North Carolina Courage. McDonald is only paid roughly $13,000 per season; but she flourishes back in the Triangle, where she'd once attended college, thanks to a chance encounter with a local family, which turns into a deep and lasting bond. And as McDonald and the Courage dominate the 2018 NWSL season, among the people who can't stop watching: USWNT head coach Jill Ellis. New episodes coming each Tuesday, through May 17.

As listeners heard in Part 6 of Payback, the women's sports world has been shaken in recent years by repeated allegations of sexual and emotional misconduct by men in positions of power. In this extended interview, Dr. Tanya Prewitt-White, a sport psychologist and author of Examining and Mitigating Sexual Misconduct in Sport, speaks with Alex Andrejev and Kata Stevens about the complex dynamics in the coach-athlete relationship, how athletes today are redefining their roles as advocates, and how to foster the transformative dialogues necessary for equity and progress in sport and society.

In 2013, Jessica McDonald makes it to the National Women's Soccer League, the most recent iteration of an American women's pro league. The NWSL's low pay is hard on players — particularly for single mothers like McDonald. However, when shocking allegations of abuse expose how misconduct runs rampant in a game perpetually struggling for legitimacy, uneven pay scales are revealed to be just one component of systemic gender inequality in soccer. Yet, as McDonald blocks out off-field issues by focusing on her game, the rest of the league can't help but notice her play. New episodes coming each Tuesday, through May 17.

In 2010, Jessica McDonald is drafted by the Chicago Red Stars of WPS, the women's professional soccer league. The WPS acts as a feeder system for the larger U.S. national team, and McDonald is poised to become the fresh blood the USWNT needs. But in her first pro start, McDonald tears the patellar tendon in her left knee. The best-case prognosis: an 18-month-long recovery. Worst-case? Her soccer career is over. Then, during rehabilitation, perhaps the biggest surprise of the 23-year-old McDonald's life: an unplanned pregnancy. New episodes coming each Tuesday, through May 17.

Following the fateful encounter with her mother, McDonald runs away from home. Soon, her grades flounder, leaving her ineligible for Division I athletics at all. McDonald's road to Chapel Hill detours through a nearby junior college in Phoenix, where she improves her GPA — and rewrites the juco record books as the most decorated female athlete in Phoenix College history. Then, upon becoming Division I eligible in 2008, Anson Dorrance comes calling once more. New episodes coming each Tuesday, through May 17.

Throughout Jessica McDonald's tumultous childhood, there was one person she could always turn to: her grandmother Abbie, who becomes McDonald's biggest cheerleader. McDonald becomes a superstar for multiple Cactus High School sports teams, but the Sereno Soccer Club she plays for after school is where she truly stands out. And as McDonald leads Sereno to multiple state titles, she catches the eye of legendary University of North Carolina women's soccer coach Anson Dorrance. Suddenly, soccer is more than a distraction; it becomes an escape from Phoenix entirely. New episodes coming each Tuesday, through May 17.

The 2019 World Cup-champion U.S. Women's National Team was arguably the most dominant team ever fielded by the most dominant institution in soccer. But striker Jessica McDonald remembers that for many people, what that team represented off the field was more important than what it accomplished on it, as fans around the world rallied behind the players' public battle for equal pay. Legends of the women's game — including Julie Foudy, Michelle Akers and Joy Fawcett — look back at the early days of the USWNT, and a gritty fight for equality that had been unfolding behind the scenes for decades.

From The Charlotte Observer, Raleigh News & Observer, McClatchy Studios and iHeartRadio comes the remarkable journey of Jessica McDonald, a striker on the 2019 World Cup-champion U.S. Women's National Team who might not be a household name, but whose story you'll never forget. A teen runaway who became a single mom, McDonald reveals for the first time how she rose from a broken home in Phoenix to the pinnacle of sports in Lyon, France — and how today, she's using her voice to battle systemic inequalities in soccer, including as part of the U.S. women's national team's recent settlement in their landmark fight for equal pay. New episodes coming each Tuesday, through May 17. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On the debut episode, Hope lays out why she feels heartbroken and disappointed by the USWNT's equal pay settlement with US Soccer. Longtime teammate and friend, Carli Lloyd, joins the conversation to discuss the work that's left to do to repair the wrongs, rebuilding the culture of the team, and her life after retirement.

A pivotal moment in the history of trade unions and women's rights is to be marked by English Heritage with the placement of a blue plaque commemorating the 1888 matchgirls' strike in East London. Curatorial Director of English Heritage, Anna Eavis, tells us about the protest, its real role in the Labour movement and why it has been so misconstrued throughout history. Millions of people across Ukraine are this morning making choices they never dreamed they'd have to make. Olena Symonenko told us about her escape to a safer part of the city only to find out that her apartment that she had lived in all her life had hit by a bomb overnight. The BBC Correspondent Sarah Rainsford told us about conversations she's been having with people on the ground in South East Ukraine and from Iryna Terlecky, the Chair of the Association of Ukrainian Women in Great Britain, about the work they are doing to help families in Ukraine. Earlier this week the US Women's national football team reached a $24 million settlement with the US Soccer Federation, which will guarantee equal pay with the men's team and give players millions in back pay. Women's soccer is incredibly popular in the US, the players are household names and having won the World Cup numerous times, are considered the best team in the world. But they have been fighting this battle for equal pay for six years. We speak to Cindy Parlow Cone, the president of the United States Soccer Federation about how they hope to push FIFA to equalise World Cup pay. We also hear from journalist Molly McElwee about whether it is the big win it is touted to be. What sound does my body make? That's the question singer and musician Briony Greenhill asks in her work. Briony is a vocal improviser - meaning she writes her songs entirely out loud, on the spot, without notation. She gives us a demonstration of how we can vocally improvise ourselves, and tells us about her debut album Crossing the Ocean.

This week the US Soccer Federation (USSF) and the US Women's National Team settled a six year fight over equal pay. The players will receive $24m. The USSF has promised to equalise pay between men's and women's national teams for all competitions, including the FIFA World Cup.Why is this happening now?Next week the USSF elects its next president, whose tenure will include the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the US, Canada and Mexico. The two candidates are former president Carlos Cordeiro and today's guest, the acting president Cindy Parlow Cone, who took over two years ago, when Cordeiro was forced to resign after his legal team filed court documents that implied men are better than women, so should get more money.“…by ignoring the materially higher level of speed and strength required to perform the job of a Men's National Team (MNT) player. A reasonable juror could conclude that the job of MNT player requires materially different skill and more responsibility than plaintiffs' job does, while also taking place under materially different working conditions,” .Cue a shitstorm: Coke, Visa, Nike et al took umbrage and Cordeiro walked, leaving the USSF in chaos. And that's saying something, given the organisation was led by Chuck Blazer for thirty years, until he was flipped by the FBI as part of their FIFA corruption investigation…So Cone for Prez? Maybe…Given the context, Parlow Cone appears a shoe-in for president. But the word is that the election will be close. So this week's news feels very strategic. After six years, the pay dispute is suddenly settled days before the election.Cone is a former US international player and has Megan Rapinoe, Alex Morgan and every pro-women, equal pay supporting liberal member of the USSF selling her campaign across social and mainstream media under the banner of ‘forward not back'.But elections are not about the candidates, they're about the voters. Read the threads that followed the news of this week's equal pay settlement and you'll meet the usual culture warriors doing their thing. Carlos Cordeiro's campaign is focused on his business background and a plan for the grassroots development of the game in America, a key USSF constituency. We'll see.If you're interested in sports business analysis and comment, follow @UnffclPrtnr on Twitter and join thousands of busy sports execs who receive the UP Newsletter every Thursday. Sign up via unofficialpartner.com

This week we dive in and debate about who should be the next US Soccer Federation President. Will it be Carlos Cordeiro or Cindy Parlow Cone?

Well. It's been quite a week in US Soccer. The Federation has a new president in Cindy Parlow Cone, who takes over after Carlos Cordeiro resigned in the aftermath of charged legal filings in the Equal Pay lawsuit filed by the US Women's National Team. Cordeiro's fate was sealed as the backlash from media, fans and sponsors threatened to overwhelm the Federation. The Fed has a lot of work to do to clean up this mess, and it's an open question whether Cordeiro leaving will resolve the problems. To talk about what led to Cordeiro's ouster, I called up fellow attorney Neil Blackmon and Kartik Krishnaiyer, both of whom are observers of the Men's and Women's National team, as well as the Federation.

Grant and Luis Miguel are on lockdown in New York City due to the coronavirus, but they connect here to talk about the impact of the soccer (and sports) world being shut down. They also discuss the momentous week for the U.S. Soccer Federation, which saw president Carlos Cordeiro resign due to the federation's disastrous legal strategy against the USWNT in its gender-discrimination case. What lies ahead for new president Cindy Parlow Cone? How soon will the legal case be settled? And how long could it be before we see soccer being played again? Luis Miguel gives an update on Liga MX, one of the last leagues in the world to take action.
