Podcasts about jerica

Some people change the game on the court. Others change it behind the scenes in ways most fans never see. Jerica Williams has done both. In this episode of SportsLifeTalk's You Got Next, we sit down with one of the most influential voices in girls' basketball—a former Division I player, championship-winning coach, entrepreneur, leadership advocate, and Nike Girls EYBL Grassroots Consultant whose impact is helping shape the future of women's basketball.From growing up in Southern California to earning a scholarship to UCLA before continuing her career at San Diego State, Jerica's journey has never followed the traditional path. She opens up about discovering basketball at age 10, how a simple free-throw contest changed her life, and the lessons that carried her from player to coach, executive, and one of the most respected evaluators in the sport.Throughout the conversation, Jerica shares what it takes to build winning cultures, develop elite athletes, and create opportunities for young women to succeed both on and off the court. Whether coaching at the high school level, leading programs to championships, serving on a Division I men's basketball staff, or now helping guide the Nike EYBL, her mission has remained the same—serve others and leave the game better than she found it.One of the most powerful parts of this episode centers around Her Story, the groundbreaking platform Jerica created to amplify the voices of girls and young women in sports. She explains why highlights only tell part of the story and why helping young athletes discover the power of their own voice may be even more important than their performance on the court. Her vision has become one of the most meaningful storytelling platforms in girls' basketball today.Jerica also delivers one of the most inspiring conversations we've ever had about leadership, discipline, and personal growth. She explains why motivation comes and goes, but discipline lasts, why relationships matter more than rankings, and why creating pathways for others has become her life's purpose.Then comes a deeply personal moment. Jerica courageously shares her year-long health journey after unexplained numbness, fatigue, and multiple hospital visits eventually led to the discovery of chronic iron deficiency. Her story is a powerful reminder to listen to your body, advocate for your own health, and never stop searching for answers. It's an emotional conversation that extends far beyond basketball and offers lessons everyone can benefit from.Listeners will also hear her thoughts on building the competitive standard of the Nike EYBL, evaluating talent, balancing leadership with motherhood, raising a highly recruited young quarterback, and what success truly looks like beyond wins and championships.This episode is packed with wisdom for athletes, coaches, parents, leaders, and anyone striving to make a lasting impact. Jerica Williams proves that true influence isn't measured by points scored—it's measured by the lives you help change.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.

Con ocasión de cumplirse dos semanas del doble terremoto que sacudió a Venezuela, nuestro corresponsal, Víctor Amaya, recogió los testimonios de sobrevivientes en La Guaira que tratan de sobreponerse al inmenso dolor y, en algunos casos, siguen buscando los cadáveres de sus seres queridos mientras denuncian el abandono y la desorganización de las autoridades. El miércoles 24 de junio de 2026 la alarma sísmica de los teléfonos celulares comenzó a sonar, pero muy pocos sabían qué significaba ni qué hacer. “En el momento que llega una alerta por mi teléfono, yo grito: ‘Niños, va a temblar'”, cuenta Osnervy Pérez. “Eran las 6h00. A las 6:04 no me había dado tiempo ni de salir”. La Guaira se convirtió en la zona cero del desastre. Aún hoy no se ha terminado de contabilizar cuántos cientos de edificios quedaron completamente dañados, ni cuántos se vinieron abajo. El gobierno afirma que se derrumbaron 190, pero con cada reporte el número aumenta.   Cada sobreviviente tiene su historia. Francisco, Magdalena, Antonella, Leandro, Anyuri, Génesis y Jérica nos contaron la suya. “Éramos siete personas en Residencias El Molino. En ese momento pega un estruendo muy fuerte y el piso se separa. Mi mente lo que dijo fue ‘nos morimos'. Y les grité muy fuerte. Yo pienso que sí me escucharon porque fue justamente antes de que todo se volviera oscuro. Les dije que las amaba con todo mi corazón, y de repente todo se vino abajo”, relata Francisco. “'Mami, ¿qué está pasando?', me preguntó mi hijo. ‘Qué está temblando', le respondí. Sobre mi bebé había escombros. Y por encima de nosotros estaba lo que era la platabanda del techo de mi casa, y nos separaba un huequito”, explica Magdalena. Leer tambiénVenezuela: adolescentes y rescatistas, prioridad dos semanas después del terremoto “Me dijo que me quería, que mi mamá era la mejor mamá del mundo, y volteó su cara como para que yo no lo viera fallecer, y murió allí. Aquí ustedes me ven hablando y super optimista, pero la verdad sí duele en el alma porque es perder a tu único hermano. Prácticamente mi hermano me crió”, dice Antonella. “Cuando llegué, el edificio ya estaba en el piso, derrumbado. Yo estaba buscando a mi papá, a mi mamá y a mi hermana. Saqué a mi mamá viva y se me murió en mis brazos”, cuenta Leandro. “Me arrodillé y le pedí a Dios. Aquí estaban mis cuatro hijos con mis nietos y sus parejas. Me dicen que sacaron a mi hija con sus tres niños”. En plena oscuridad estaba mi otro hijo, Moisés, todo tapado, excepto la cabeza”, dice Anyuri.“Una vez que el edificio cayó de golpe, empezó a temblar más duro. Tomamos la decisión de bajar por las escaleras. Preferimos morir en el intento y, como cosa de Dios, no nos cayó ninguna pared encima”, cuenta Génesis. “Yo vivía con mi mamá en la (torre) 33, piso 4, que cayó completica. Ahí no se pudo salvar nada”, dice Jerica. Un luto imposible por el momento  Han pasado 20 días y en La Guaira todavía no hay luto. La emergencia no ha terminado. Cientos de venezolanos aún buscan entre escombros a víctimas del doblete sísmico, de 7,2 y 7,5. Aspiran encontrar milagros con vida, pero también quieren encontrar a sus muertos. Augusto Rojas, residente en el urbanismo “Hugo Chávez”, perdió a sus dos hijas. “Yo tuve dos pérdidas y todavía no me lo creo. Estoy parado aquí frente a mi torre y no me creo todavía lo que ha pasado. Yo que tengo pérdidas tengo que recuperarme porque soy el pilar de la casa”, dice Augusto Rojas. Jenny Varela aún aspira encontrar a los suyos en un edificio que se hundió dejando decenas de personas enterradas. “No me permito entrar en luto porque tengo que verlos. Tengo la fe de que ellos están vivos. Pero en estos momentos no viene nadie, nadie nos apoya. ¿Cómo me quito yo esta incertidumbre de si están o no están vivos?”, dice. Leer tambiénTerremotos en Venezuela: Delcy Rodríguez pide al rey de Inglaterra liberar el oro venezolano Maryori Aponte no pierde las esperanzas. “Mi hijo, su esposa y mi nieta Marcela estaban allí. Al parecer nos dicen que hay una bodega en planta donde presuntamente hay 16 personas y están tratando de meterse, abriendo como un huequito para que tengan oxigeno”, explica. “Abajo, en esas dos torres, hay unos sótanos que vienen siendo los tanques subterráneos. Ahora pasaron un aparatico los compañeros voluntarios. Se ve agua y como un espacio de calor. Tenemos esperanza de que allí haya gente de los que estaban en planta baja o piso bajo”, afirma Aponte. Los edificios "OPP", desplomados  Entre los edificios caídos hay residencias de gran y mediana altura. Quizá los edificios de mayor densidad eran los llamados Oficina de Planificación Presidencial (OPP), los cuales fueron construidos durante el gobierno de Hugo Chávez. Cientos de apartamentos en esos conjuntos residenciales quedaron destruidos, con varias de sus torres completamente apiladas. Luis y Gabriela buscan a los suyos denunciando la falta de apoyo gubernamental, la cual ha sido tardía e insuficiente ante una situación también inabarcable, cuyas respuestas más efectivas han quedado en mano de la asistencia internacional. “Aquí nos encontramos con muchas personas voluntarias que vienen de México, Valencia o Maracay. Estamos agradecidos con cada uno de ellos porque vienen a prestarnos apoyo para levantar estos escombros y así poder rescatar los cuerpos de nuestros familiares”, dice Luis.César Padrón, otro residente de ese urbanismo, relata: “Aquí vivía mi hijo de 10 años y su hermanito de 12 años. Con el derrumbe no pudieron salir de ahí, Hemos estado cavando. hemos abierto cinco agujeros y nada”, dice César. “Ya van dos semanas que llevamos pidiendo maquinaria. La torre de al lado, toda esa maquinaria que usted ve, toda esa ayuda, es porque allí viven policías. Ellos están tratando de sacar a su gente. En la torre del otro lado también vivir un militar y tenía un pocotón de maquinaria, pero como sacaron a su gente, pues se llevó todo”, denuncia Gabriela. Buscando con las uñas  Marcos busca a su hijo en el edificio Belo Horizonte, en Playa Grace, que colapsó sobre sí mismo apilando seis pisos en una sola planta, donde estaba el muchacho de 16 años. Junto a amigos y a su esposa ha liderado los esfuerzos de rescate en esta zona de Playa Grande, en La Guaira, donde afirma que funcionarios se acercan para ver, documentar y “hacer show”, pero no para ayudar. “Vienes después de dos semanas de este desastre a decirme que tenemos que seguir un protocolo. No, güevón. La primera persona que yo salvé, la bajé con líneas del cable del internet. Fue la primera persona que sacamos viva de aquí. Fue la única. De resto han sido uñas, palitos, tubitos… He sacado más de 20 cadáveres. A mi esposa le ha tocado reconocer a más de 50 muertos. Yo soy mecánico. Estoy acostumbrado a ver piezas de carros rotas, no piernas ni orejas ni personas desmembradas”, subraya. Leer tambiénVenezuela: transforman un McDonald's en hospital de emergencia Marcos admite el daño psicológico por ver tanta muerte, como otro rescatista que nos dijo que ha rescatado en otro punto del territorio a 11 muertos, incluyendo cuerpos de niños severamente dañados. Entretanto, los voluntarios aún piden máquinas para levantar losas completas, pero no hay suficientes, se dañan, les falta combustible o simplemente alguien pagó más por ella. “He escuchado que piden 650 dólares el día. Pero no sabría decir si es cierto porque no he buscado. Tampoco tenemos los recursos hacerlo”, nos confía Egly Matos. No muy lejos de ella, José Liendo dice: “Queremos que nos ayuden con maquinarias para retirar escombros y poder recuperar a nuestros muertos y así poder darles su cristiana sepultura”, dice. “No tenemos la culpa de que, teniendo en cuenta la magnitud de lo que pasó aquí, se nos dañen las máquinas cuando estamos trabajando. Esta máquina está parada porque le falta un repuesto, un turbo. Hemos amanecido, tres, cuatro, cinco días, amaneciendo aquí sacando gente, sacándola de los escombros”, dice Edgar, maquinista.“Tengo amigos a los que les están cobrando para sacar a los familiares de los escombros. Eso está mal. El gobierno, la alcaldía, tiene que apoyar con maquinaria y no que uno tenga que pagarla privadamente”, opina Emilio. Oscar lidera un equipo de maquinistas que trabajan en edificios privados. “El domingo fue el día más terrible para mí porque me llegaron muchas familias de otros edificios pidiéndome apoyo. Hasta ofreciéndome dinero: ¡1000 dólares! Una señora me pidió sacar a sus hijas, se me arrodilló, me abrazó. Cuando pudimos hacerlo, la apoyamos y sacamos a las niñas. Fue fuerte. El domingo fue horrible para mí. Esta experiencia no se la deseo a nadie, a nadie”, dice Emilio. Frente a cada edificio derrumbado, y los hay por cientos a donde vaya la mirada en La Guaira, hay voluntarios sobre los escombros tratando de rescatar cuerpos, mientras otros hacen el recuento de cuántos familiares les faltan. “Mira, habían sacado cuatro personas vivas, también varios cadáveres, como tres… era una familia de siete en total”, dice Gustavo Bastardo. “Fueron dos, tres, cuatro, cinco personas conocidas directas. Amigos míos. No te miento. Te puedo decir que perdí unos 35 amigos, 35 amigas, 30 niños que eran hijos de esos amigos. Y los conocidos lejanos… ¡infinidades!”, agrega. “En la OPP 26 y en la OPP 27 perdí como 20 familiares. Ya hemos rescatado 17, y me faltan tres todavía. Pero ahorita no podemos entrar porque hay unas columnas y debemos picar las cabillas para poder avanzar. Necesitaríamos una planta con un esmeril y el martillo eléctrico para poder avanzar”, explica otro sobreviviente. Riesgo de más derrumbes  Pero Protección Civil ya advierte que hay zonas donde las labores deben parar. Uno de sus voceros advierte sobre los riesgos: “Estamos aquí desde el día uno, el 25 de junio, hemos ido monitoreando el edificio 26 del complejo habitacional de Misión Vivienda. Hay que evacuar a todas las personas que están laborando de aquel lado porque ese edificio en cualquier momento va a caerse, va a derrumbarse. Es el momento de dejar de hacer labores allí porque están arriesgando la vida, y es precisamente lo que estamos evitando”. La cuenta oficial habla de 4.490 fallecidos, 16 mil heridos y casi 20 mil personas refugiadas. No hay un dato formal de desaparecidos, pero registros ciudadanos contabilizan al menos 30.000 personas aún no encontradas y 14.000 ya localizadas.El gobierno interino de Delcy Rodríguez habla de la Venezuela que renace y de construcción acelerada de nuevas viviendas. En La Guaira, su hermano Jorge Rodríguez, presidente del parlamento y ahora jefe del estado mayor para atender las consecuencias del terremoto, dijo que han identificado varios terrenos como seguros por un sobrevuelo de helicóptero. “Son terrenos que no están tan cerca de la zona de costa, donde están los peores terrenos. Sino que por lo general son terrenos planos o que están al pie de la montaña, en una especie de mesetas o valles que pueden ser aplanados para la construcción de viviendas. Son 40 terrenos que suman 584.000 m2 y que nos van a permitir la construcción de nuevas viviendas no solamente en otras partes del país sino también en el estado La Guaira”, dijo Jorge Rodríguez, quien también prometió que se culminarán proyectos residenciales paralizados desde hace años y anunció la reforma de la ley de alquileres para que unas 200.000 viviendas vacías salgan al mercado. Leer también“Entramos en pánico”: Primeros testimonios tras los terremotos en Venezuela Además el Estado ha instalado 94 campamentos de refugiados mientras que en muchos lugares de La Guaira cientos de carpas ocupan aceras, terrenos y calles donde muchos todavía esperan mejores condiciones en refugios improvisados y a la intemperie aunque con asistencia internacional, principalmente. Dos venezolanas, Keily Henriquez y Fabiana Gutierrez, advierten llega, si bien no es ideal. “Ya nos trajeron los baños, nos dan comidas, medicinas”. “Desayuno no nos dan, falta más organización”. “Nos dijeron para llevarnos a Los Caracas (un refugio), pero no nos fuimos porque no nos podemos ir sin sacar a nuestros familiares”. “Ya cuando los saquemos veremos lo que vamos a hacer”, concluye. En el camino, van saliendo los reclamos de vulnerabilidades advertidas. Vecinos de la OPP 25, donde dos de los enormes edificios construidos por el chavismo se desplomaron, denunciaron hace cuatro años que la estructura estaba dañada, y pidieron ser desalojados, como recuerda Deivi Vásquez. “Obviamente nos tenían que haber reubicado, cosa que no fue así. Taparon el orificio y eso quedó así. Lastimosamente por dentro eso estaba fracturado”, dice. En el urbanismo Hugo Chávez, el propio expresidente dijo que eran antisísmicas cuando las inauguró hace 15 años. Pero Damelis Díaz ahora llora la muerte de su hija y de decenas de vecinos, aplastados por las estructuras prefabricadas que se hundieron. “Ya había un precedente y eso lo sabían. Ellos vendieron este urbanismo como si fuera tecnología de punta y antisísmico, pero en realidad no lo era”, dice Damelis.En La Guaira la adrenalina corre sin parar, la urgencia y el miedo se imponen. Pero las víctimas ya comienzan a pensar en el mañana, a evaluar si quedarse o no en este territorio que ha visto tres tragedias en casi 30 años: un deslave, una vaguada y un doble terremoto. “Bueno, si hay la posibilidad sí. Pero si me toca que me quede, me quedo”, dice Augusto Rojas. “No me gustaría irme de La Guaira. Sé que me va a tocar porque ahorita está inhabitable”, dice Gabriela. “Son muchos sentimientos, muchas experiencias aquí vividas. Es difícil irse”, dice Daniela Segura. “No me gustaría irme de La Guaira, porque aquí es donde nací y es donde me he levantado, y mi guaira es muy bonita”, confiesa Jérica Ochoa. “Realmente no tenemos para dónde irnos. Esta es nuestra propiedad y nuestro terreno privado”, dice Nélida Ciral. “Yo diría que no, porque yo digo que ya lo peor pasó”, opina Osnervy Pérez. “Pues no, porque hay mucho movimiento de tierra y ya casi todo quedó muy sentido. Yo lo que recomiendo es que no vuelvan a hacer apartamentos”, sugiera Jonaris Salazar. “Quisiera que se recuperara, pero no que construyeran más edificios. Creo que quedamos traumatizados con vivir en apartamentos”, dice Johana Granado.

On the Contacts coaching podcast, consultant and Coach Her Right founder Jerica Williams shares how basketball found her at age 10, her college path from a UCLA scholarship to San Diego State, and becoming a mom her senior year. She traces her move from assistant coaching (including Cal State Northridge) to head coaching at Detroit Country Day, where she rapidly rebuilt a struggling program and reached the Michigan State Final Four, emphasizing the head coach's total responsibility, staffing to cover blind spots, and her superpowers of empathy and communication while outsourcing offense/X's and O's. Williams discusses working with Stephen Curry's trainer Brandon Payne and later joining Mike Davis at Mississippi Valley State as one of the only active female coaches in men's basketball, highlighting the value of feminine energy in men's spaces. She explains starting Make Room For Her/Coach Her Right to amplify girls' voices, improve coaching, and address safety issues in youth sports, and she describes recently changing her belief that love is possession, reframing it as freedom.00:00 Meet Jerica Williams00:20 Basketball Found Me01:53 From Player to Coach03:48 Head Coach Breakthroughs04:14 Breaking Barriers in Mens Hoops06:15 Nike Role and Talent Pathways08:24 Assistant to Head Coach Shift09:21 Owning the Whole Program12:18 Hiring to Cover Blind Spots14:01 Empathy as Superpower15:54 Outsourcing the Offense17:58 Ego Versus Will to Win24:34 Working with Steph Curry26:08 Underrated Tour Origin Story28:30 Make Room For Her Begins30:39 Her Story Giving Girls a Stage32:16 Why Girls Quit Sports33:09 Safety Behind Not Fun33:23 Building Coach Her Right35:04 Defining Legitimate Safety36:32 Whistleblowing Coach Misconduct42:11 Ask Her Believe Her44:20 Questions Not Commands46:48 Empathy And Seeing Players48:54 Committed To Learning51:00 Make Room For Her Mission54:04 Love Is Freedom Not Possession01:00:02 Closing Reflections

Follow the escapades of two unlikely heroes and community builders in Hermit and Pig, a charmingly odd turn-based RPG. Hermit has grown comfortable in his life of solitude and foraging alongside his best friend, Pig. But the pair feel uncharacteristically called to act when they hear that a local factory has been taken over by a corporation that is firing its workers and destroying the local environment. You must help Hermit and Pig overcome numerous challenges and grow as people... er, yeah, people.  We were so glad to get to chat with our friends at JK! Games! about this singularly quirky and hilarious title. Jerica and Kayla join Kate and Emily to discuss the fast-paced and engaging turn-based combat and unique dialogue mechanics. You'll hear where Hermit and Pig hit its mark, where it fell a little flat, and where it was just so outside the box that it's hard to qualify. We hope you enjoy this episode!
