Rene Wenzel has a long history in the sport of cycling. He started out as a junior rider in Denmark. He was quite successful as a junior by winning Danish and Scandinavian Junior Road Championships. Once he moved up to the senior ranks he eventually moved to Belgium and France to race. By the end of 1980 Wenzel says he had mono. He says that was a tough 12 to 14 months. Wenzel would recover and eventually come over to the states with a friend and race. He would race track and criteriums quite successfully. By the late 80's he was back in Denmark and he would eventually retire with over 300 plus wins to his credit. Coaching would take over for Wenzel. In the 90's he would work with the U.S. Junior National Team, work with the Saturn team twice, and own and run the Subway team.Wenzel would eventually walk away from cycling. He says it was disappointing to see the drug situation in Europe when he would bring his team over for some early season racing. Wenzel and Angus Fraser would later be accused and sued for allegedly giving illegal substances to Greg Strock and Erich Kaiter when they were juniors. Wenzel denies the accusations. He recently left a position with the Indian Cycling Federation. 

This is the second episode in a special series on gender identity policies in rowing. We're getting to know some of the people behind initiatives challenging the notion of fairness and inclusion in our sport. Since December 2022, World Athletics, World Rowing, USRowing and other national governing bodies, have announced updated gender identity policies. The Biden administration is proposing changes to Title IX. In response, voices across the rowing community have stood up for "fairness for women" and alternatively "inclusion for marginalized athletes." We're taking a closer look. Ann Strayer, OLY, was a self-described "natural" in a single in high school. She quickly earned a seat on the 1978 Junior National Team, and went on to row at Princeton 1978 to 1982. While at university she made her first National Team in 1981, followed by five more teams in the 1980s, culminating in a spot on the 1988 Olympic squad. Today, Strayer is the Varsity Women's Coach at Oakland United Rowing in Oakland, CA. In response to the ICONS petition seeking to define "eligibility for the women's/girl's categories to participants born female," Strayer and fellow OUR coach and Olympian Erin Cafaro have written a letter in support of USRowing's gender identity policy. They, along with 50+ Olympians and coaches who have signed the letter, strongly believe that the most important thing for scholastic transgender and non-binary athletes is to welcome them into boathouses, and allow them to row as the gender with which they identify. .

Marianne Hogan may be a relatively new name for many in the running and trail ultra community but she has been on an absolute streak this year, with podium finishes at both Western States where she placed 3rd female (in her first 100 mile race) and Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc, where she just ran the race of her life crossing the line as the second female despite experiencing a significant injury in her hip mid race. She is only the 3rd woman in history to podium finish at both races in the same year. The previous two were Nikki Kimball in 2007 and Krissy Moehl in 2009. Marianne is 32 years old and currently calls Montreal home.Born and raised in a small town in Quebec, Marianne grew up with a passion to swim, bike and run – and race triathlons.

  Today's guest wears a lot of impressive hats: Former Socceroo | Broadcaster | Adjunct Professor, Sport & Social Responsibility | Author | and Human Rights Activist Who else could this be but Craig Foster AM? Following a decorated football career as Australia's 419th Socceroo and 40th Captain, Craig has become one of Australia's most respected sports people as a broadcaster, social justice advocate, and human rights campaigner. Craig represented Australia in the Junior National Team at age 15 in the first FIFA Under 16 World Cup in China, 1985 where he was selected in the FIFA Team of the Tournament. He would later go on to represent Australia at senior level on 29 occasions including as Captain. Following retirement, he quickly became one of Australia's most respected sports broadcasters with an 18-year, triple Logie-winning career with Australia's multicultural broadcaster, Special Broadcasting Service (SBS) as part of The World Game (TWG) team which included five FIFA World Cups and four FIFA Women's World Cups as well as the UEFA Champions League, English Premier League and domestic competitions. He is a vocal supporter of a higher humanitarian intake by Australia and particularly an increased intake for Afghan refugees. A smidgen of his relevant humanitarian work efforts includes being: A member of the Australian Multicultural Council under the Department of Home Affairs, Immigration and Citizenship division An Ambassador for Amnesty Australia, the Affinity Intercultural Foundation, and Addison Road Community Centre including their #RacismNotWelcome campaign for Local Councils across Australia, Pushing Barriers, an Australia Committee member with Human Rights Watch, Advisory Council member of the Australian Human Rights Institute, UNSW and a Director of the Crescent Foundation. His humanitarian activism extends to several, high-profile campaigns including #SaveHakeem to free Bahraini refugee Hakeem al-Araibi from a Thai prison for which he was a Finalist for the Australian Human Rights Commission Medal. He is a former columnist for the Sun Herald, author, and co-author of several books including ‘Fighting for Hakeem' by Hachette Australia, and writes for the Guardian, The Age, and other publications and holds a Professional Coaching License and helped guide dozens of Australia's finest young female and male talents, many of whom graduated to Australia's National Teams. In 2019, the Australian Financial Review recognized Craig as a ‘True Australian Leader', the Sydney Morning Herald as one of the ‘People that Defined 2019′, he was the recipient of the 2020 NSW Government Humanitarian Award for his work with sport and human rights, an Australian Human Rights Commission Medal finalist, was awarded the Australian Muslim Council 2020 Abyssinian Medal and was a finalist for the NSW 2021 Australian of the Year. In 2021, Craig became a Member of the Order of Australia (AM) in the Australia Day Honours List which he dedicated to and shared with his refugee friends and all refugees seeking safety around the world. In 2020, Craig contributed to the acquisition of Humanitarian Visas and evacuation of around one hundred predominantly female Afghan athletes from Kabul escaping the Taliban including the Afghan National Women's Football Team and Taekwondo athletes, as well as Afghanistan's several Paralympians who went on to compete at the Tokyo Paralympic Games weeks later.  Working with Australia's Immigration Minister, Alex Hawke, and Foreign Minister, Marise Payne as well as trusted members of the Australian Parliament, Craig used his sporting and political connections to secure the safety of many Afghans.  Shortly after the Kabul airport was closed to evacuation flights, Craig also assisted 15 young girls to escape a Kabul safe house while the Taliban searched from house to house for them and acquired the Humanitarian Visas for them to resettle in Australia. Somehow, Craig was nominated as one of Australia's Best Dressed Men despite spending his life in ripped jeans and board-shorts and still plays football for the Waverley Old Boys Over 35's in the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney, Australia where he tries to relive old glories. Today, Craig advises on athlete activism for some of Australia's most prominent sportspeople and is an Adjunct Professor of Sport and Social Responsibility with Torrens University, Australia where he has developed an online course called ‘Sport for Good' which teaches athletes and sport practitioners how to utilize sport for social justice and progressive issues around the world. Craig holds a Bachelor of Laws (LLB), a Master's Degree in International Sports Management, and a Postgraduate Degree in Football Management. In this episode, Craig discusses: How do you define human rights? Maybe a practical example of what that is in practice. Is it just about equality of opportunities in a legal and moral sense or much more? What prompted you to become a human rights advocate? Was there a trigger for you that made you focus on this and what keeps you going when issues like Manus Island detainees among other cases must sometimes feel like they will never go away? Many of us witnessed through the consistent media coverage your role in freeing footballer Hakeem al-Alraibi in 2019. That was a relentless campaign and one that I imagine you had to pull on every lever you had to make that case stay front of mind in not just the media but the government's agenda. Reflecting on that experience, what did that reveal about Australia's human rights approach? We have a problematic human rights record in Australia and the First Nations people have suffered and continue to suffer – for example, ABS figures from 30 June 2021 stated Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander prisoners made up 30% of all prisoners and 78% had experienced prior adult imprisonment. And life expectancy remains much lower than non-Indigenous Australians. How can we rectify this huge and relentless situation faster and in a way that is humane? Take away: What is your final takeaway message for us on The Politics of Human Rights?   To connect with Craig: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/craig-foster-am-69b9a72b/ W: www.craigfoster.net

Catch up with Junior National Team coach Pat Anderson to hear what is in store for the juniors this year. 

Much like our last few podcast guests, Carson Hindmarsh has had himself a busy summer. Aside from starring with the Okotoks Dawgs Black during the WCBL season, the 17-year-old Saskatoon native found himself playing with Baseball Canada's Junior National Team at the 18U Friendship Series in Florida. His season isn't over either as he's planning on another trip with the national team soon, and big things are on the horizon for the 6'3", 180-pound southpaw as he's committed to the University of Tennessee. We talked about all of that and so much more earlier this week.

Matt Grabmann has become a world traveler in his short baseball career. Just this summer, he went from Dawgs Black in the Western Canadian Baseball League to Baseball Canada's Junior National Team to the Baseball Factory All-America Game, where he drew plenty of praise and was touching 95 miles per hour on the radar gun. The right-hander from Nova Scotia is a Dawgs Academy product who has also committed to joining the NCAA Division I University of Oregon to continue his baseball journey. We caught up with him earlier this week to talk about all of his travels and his future plans.

Boston Warkentin was among a handful of Okotoks Dawgs players recently named to Baseball Canada's Junior National Team which took on the US in a best-of-seven Friendship Series. He pitched in ten games for Dawgs Black this summer before being summoned to the national team, where he impressed every time he stepped on the bump. Originally from Delta, BC, the 18-year-old righthander came through Dawgs Academy, where he's elevated his game to being listed by the Canadian Baseball Network as the 11th best Canadian prospect for the 2022 MLB Draft. He's also committed to the University of Washington, another Division 1 powerhouse. We talked about it all with Boston  in a phone chat last week.

Many athletes dream of the day they are able to represent their country on the world stage. St. Albert's Max Hartman was able to do that recently when he was named to Baseball Canada's Junior National Team that was heading to Florida for the 18U Friendship Series against the United States. The Washington State University commit joins us this week to talk about his baseball journey, which includes Dawgs Academy, Tournament-12 in Toronto and this past summer with Okotoks Dawgs Black.

This week I have Mike Manuel on the show. Mike is a former track & field coach and current professional boxing coach out of Legacy Boxing Club and Olympus Boxing Club here in Calgary Alberta. Speaking about one of his former track and field athletes who won provincial titles and competed for the Junior National Team for Canada, Mike stated his drive to never be second and his year round commitment to staying in shape as the reason this athlete and other elite athletes like him are able to be successful..Further, talking to Mike about his role as a coach for his current athletes what really stuck out to me was his take on the "Art of Coaching." Mike discusses his role as a coach as simply being someone there to help his athletes be successful. It is about more than simply what happens in training, but a wholesome approach. His commitment to continuous growth with his athletes, as well as helping his athletes in every area of their lives is incredible. I really believe what he is doing now is a testament to what the boxing world is going to see from spectacular athletes coming out of Calgary such as Jordan McNaughton and Angelo Habib, two of the athletes Mike discusses within the show..Thank you for tuning into another episode of the podcast!

On today's episode of the #mensexpleasure podcast, I chat with Sascha Haert. Relationships are, and have always been, the most important thing Sascha's my life. Born into a loving and present family, in a home that sat next to a firing line in communist East Berlin, Sascha learned the incredible power of healthy relationships from an early age. As a former professional basketball player and captain of the Junior National Team he went on travels around the world and grew into a life of successful entrepreneurship, investing, building and managing 6-7 figure businesses across Europe & Asia. Fueled by his passion to understand the art of human relating, Sascha moved to Bali to explore the spiritual side of life, discovering the powerful practices of meditation, yoga & energy work. He became fascinated with helping others to appreciate and access the power of navigating relationships successfully in all areas of life. Seeing others get to the point where they can apply these skills in their lives and benefit from them has become one of his greatest pleasures. The two of us talk about Sascha's work with women and how his clients relate with the men in their lives. We also talk about our differing opinions regarding semen retention and sexual practices. Key Points: - Sascha shares about his passions and work - Building confidence to have better sex - Men who feel intimidated by women - You are not your partner's coach - Fear of leaving a relationship - Entrepreneurship and financial independence - Nourishment and connecting in with your body - The masculine seeks freedom - Semen retention vs conscious ejaculation - The symbolism of ejaculation - Ejaculation shaming - Semen retention and meditation Relevant Links: Sascha's Instagram: @sascha_haert Sascha's Website: www.saschahaert.com

Madelynn's (Maddy) clay target shooting experience began when she was just 12 years old at a local 4-H club, shooting American trap. A few years later, her father introduced her to her local high school team where she shot American trap, skeet, and sporting clays through the Scholastic Clay Target Program (SCTP). Eventually, Maddy branched out into the more non-traditional disciplines such as doubles, handicap, and 5-stand. In the Spring of 2014, Maddy attended an SCTP development camp held at the Olympic and Paralympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The camp was designed to introduce young SCTP athletes into the Olympic disciplines of shotgun sports. Maddy began shooting in USA Shooting sanctioned competitions in the summer of 2016 at the Junior Olympic Championships. She competed in her first selection match in Fort Benning, Georgia at the 2017 Spring Selection Match. In 2018, Maddy earned a spot on her first official USA Shooting Team to attend the World Championships in Changwon, Korea. She also earned a spot on the Junior National Team at the National Junior Olympic Championships right before attending the 2018 World Championships in the fall. Normally after competing on the junior national level, the next step is the U.S. National Team. Maddy bypassed the normal progression and secured a spot on the United States Olympic Trap Team in March 2020.

Her journey in the sport has led her to the pinnacle of coaching, having trained an Olympic Gold medalist, but as she discusses with Chris today, she still experiences a bit of impostor syndrome. Chris and Kate dig into her coaching style, battling insecurity, her ultimate goal for each athlete she coaches, and advice for athletes attending Olympic Trials in the coming weeks.

Our guest this week is a man who has dreams of being on an Opening Day roster in the not-too-distant future. Damiano Palmegiani has had quite the journey already in his young baseball career. The native of Surrey, BC came to Alberta as a teenager to take his career to the next level with Vauxhall Academy. He did that in spades, making it to the Tournament-12 in Toronto and then Baseball Canada’s Junior National Team. In 2018, Palmegiani was drafted in the 35th round by his favourite team, the Toronto Blue Jays. He decided to go to school, first heading to Cal State Northridge. But he struggled on the field, hitting .157 in 31 games. The COVID-19 pandemic got in the way of any possible rebound in 2020, leading him to a change of scenery with the College of Southern Nevada for 2021. And he has shined with the Coyotes. As we record this, Palmegiani is hitting .376 with 13 home runs and 40 RBIs in 31 games. In this wide-ranging conversation, the 6-1, 195-pound sophomore talks about the long road to Nevada, how he turned things around, his commitment announcement earlier this year to Division-1 Arizona and much more.

Ryan Castle has traveled the world, speaks 5 languages, and has coached water polo at all levels from youth to National Teams. He began his varsity collegiate coaching career at Arizona State University under former Brown University head coach Todd Clapper from 2007-to-2010. In addition to serving on the women's water polo varsity staff, he served as head coach for the ASU men's collegiate club team. He helped lead the Sun Devils to a third-place finish at the 2008 National Collegiate Club Championships in 2008 at Ohio University in Athens, Ohio, as the program finished Third (2007), First (2008) and Second (2009) in the Southwest Division during his time in Tempe, Arizona. Castle accrued four years of experience at CWPA Division I institutions by working a three-year stint as an assistant at Hartwick College under Alan Huckins. From there he went to the University of Michigan under then Wolverines' coach/now Connecticut College head coach Matt Anderson from 2013-2014. Serving as the associate head coach for the University of Hawaii in 2015 and 2016 under head coach Maureen Cole, Castle helped guide the Rainbow Warriors to the 2015 Big West Tournament Championship and an appearance in the 2015 NCAA Championship. Castle served as an interim head coach during the 2016 season, and in that time Hawaii earned a 13-4 record. Ryan Castle is currently the Head Women's Water Polo Coach and Director of Club Sports at Carthage College. Ryan came to Carthage College in July 2019 following a three-year tenure at Indiana University where he compiled a 52-36 record from 2017-to-2019. Outside of the collegiate ranks, Castle honed his craft with international teams, both at the junior and senior levels. Most recently, Castle held the reigns as the head coach of the Kazakhstan Women's Senior National Team, where he guided Kazakhstan to an appearance at the 2011 FINA World Championships in Shanghai, China. Kazakhstan's 13th-place finish at the event was the fourth-highest in the country's history. Before Kazakhstan, Castle served as the Video Analyst for the New Zealand senior team at the 2009 FINA World Championships. From 2007 to 2009, Castle worked in the US Olympic Development Program by running one of the United States' under-18 zone teams. Castle had the opportunity to coach for his home nation of South Africa from 2002 to 2005, and again in 2011, where he assisted with the Women's Senior National Team and served as head coach for the National “B” Team. In 2003, Castle took charge of the South African Women's Junior National Team and assisted with the Men's Junior Team. A native of Cape Town, South Africa, Castle graduated from the University of Cape Town in 2001 with a bachelor's degree in information systems and earned a post-graduate credential in education in 2003. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/cwpa/support

Last October Michael, Kegan and Joe Holmes got together with Billy Innes, who first appeared on the Episode 48 of the podcast, to discuss the risk of speaking one's mind on social media, and how difficult it is — even when mistakes are made by the accusers — for cancel culture to reverse course or admit the wrongness of its righteousness. Billy is an artist and former professional cyclist, whose team still holds the record for the Race Across America, and he was also the director of the U.S. Junior National Team until some unfortunate events in 2020 caused USA Cycling to terminate his employment. Billy describes those events in detail, which should be eye-opening for many, and does not bode well for the future of civil discourse or civility in our society in general.

Josh was the 1993 High School National Football player of the year and shared many prestigous National player of the year awards with Peyton Manning. He was also a 4 time All-State Shortstop and an all-American shortstop as a senior where he played on the Junior National Team and won a silver metal. After being heavily recruited in both football and baseball by LSU and other power house programs, Josh was chosen in the first round/5th pick of the 1994 major league draft by the Florida Marlins and opted to sign a record breaking $1.6M signing bonus.

Missy Marlowe became a Junior National Team member in gymnastics at the  age of 15 going on to become an Olympian and NCAA National Champion. As the first ever gymnast to win the Honda Cup Missy takes us through her journey of training and competing in her youth, to owning her gym and becoming a personal trainer.  She shares the benefits she had in opening up her eyes to  a world view in travel when she did not make the “A” team.  Missy also speaks to the gymnastics training environment that led to the abuse of athletes; mentally, physically, emotionally and sexually, and is proud that gymnastics has opened a door to meaningful conversations encouraging athletes to speak out. Missy describes the unique parts of gymnastics where the training and the competition is high risk but the reward and feelings of being in the air is exhilarating. She compares and contrasts her Olympic and collegiate experiences.  Missy also shares advice to parents of gymnasts and other sports from her perspective of having been a daughter and now having a daughter who compete in sport. The lessons Missy learned included a strong work ethic, facing one’s fears, building resilience and pursuing goals.  Fundamentally, she loves the sport and being in the gym and hopes all children get a chance to participate at some level in sports not least of all because of the lessons it teaches us.

Terrence Jennings is a former London 2012 Olympics Bronze medalist. He is a coach in the World Class Athlete Program, an initiative of the US army that helps athletes to focus on training and represent the United States at international competition.He started to compete very young and make it to the Youth United States National Team.He is very passionate for the sport, he shares with us some important moments of his career and how he still enjoys training, coaching and watching videos to learn.He has learned from amazing taekwondo masters and coaches like Patrice Remarck and Juan Moreno, in the interview he talked about them and how they helped him to grow in taekwondo.Every taekwondo journey starts with the first classTerrence Jennings was a very active kid. So, when he saw an ad of a new local martial arts school showing a ninja turtle he was immediately attracted to the sport. And since the first class he loved all the flashy movements of taekwondo.He loved playing different sports, like football, basketball and soccer. But he mentions that in team sports there are always things that you can't control because you depend on others.Just one chance to break the boardTerrence's first instructor was very strict. When you were at a belt testing and you had to break a board you only had one chance. Terrence remembers a class partner who in his belt test failed to break the board. Everybody thought that he would have another chance, but no, the instructor made him to wait three months more to do the test again and reattempt to break the board.Terrence reflects that sometimes you don't have a second chance. And you have to do your best when you have the chance.First competitionsTerrence remembers that at first his school was more focused on point sparring.In one of his first competitions he was disqualified for excess of contact, although he was a child he felt disappointed. He thought that maybe that was not the right activity for him.After a while the school started to focus more on Olympic taekwondo and that's how Terrence was introduced in what later would be his way of life.Terrence's first competition was when he was a green belt. His parents drove him one hour to the place of the tournament in Maryland.As in many children tournaments he remembers that the only thing he did was kicking.He went to the middle of the ring and when the fight started it was just one minute of continuous kicking by both sides. No checking or feints, not moving, just kicking until the coach told him to stop.Making a teamEarly in his career he met Coach Patrice Remarck, a two time World Medalist from Ivory Coast who was studying at the University in Washington DC and started to coach in Terrence's academy Olympic style taekwondo.None of the students really know what exactly was Olympic taekwondo, they just followed the instructions of Mr Remarck.One of the strategies that coach Remarck did was to bring the team atmosphere into the dojang. With warm ups, uniforms and behaviour that gives the children that sense of being part of something bigger.Coach Remarck was very strict about earning the right to use a National Team uniform. You could not just put the USA letters in your uniform because you were not allowed to train with that dobok unless you were already a national team member.That is a great motivation, to earn the right to use your country's name in your uniform.Under coach Remarck guidance Terrence's career started to go upwards, he made it to the Junior National Team and started to compete internationally. Before ranking tournaments coach Remarck encouraged his athletes to go to international events like the French or Belgium opens in order to gain experience from fighting the best athletes in other countries.A hard decision and the London 2012 Olympic GamesAn interesting point of the interview was the decision of changing his training place pursuing his dreams.Having an elite coach was a blessing for Terrence's. It allowed him to compete internationally and to be one of the top athletes of the USA. But in order to pursue his dream of going to the London Olympics and to win a medal he had to make some difficult decisions.In a combat sport at an elite level you also need to train with partners that challenge you all the time. That was why he moved to Miami to train at Peak Performance with Coach Juan Moreno who had one of the best teams in the country.Coach Moreno even found him a job to help him to afford his stay in Miami. So he worked at a warehouse starting at 6am and then he just moved to train, every day.But hard work pays off. Under Master Moreno's guidance Terrence won a bronze medal at the London 2012 Olympics. The complete story on the interview.On the interview Terrence talked with us also about:How was his preparation for the London 2012 Olympics?What to do when referees are unfairly penalizing you?How to fight against weight cutting?How does the US Army World Class Athlete Program work?

With the Bulldogs on winter break, three-time national champion coach of the men’s hockey team Scott Sandelin had to find something to keep himself busy over the holidays. Why not coach the 2020 U.S. Junior National Team for the upcoming World Junior Championship in the Czech Republic?  This will be his fourth World Juniors experience, second as a head coach after leading Team USA in Grand Forks in 2005 and then an assistant last year in Vancouver.

Even if you are broken, you can rebuild yourself, you can still be active and powerful. Its take time and some work but it is possible. Listen to the podcast to learn what exactly to do.

Kyla Richey is a mentor and role model for young Canadian athletes. Being able to share her journey has been something she doesn't take lightly. But she also wants young women to realize that life is not always what it appears to be. Although it may seem as though she has a picture perfect reality, she has experienced deep loss and great pain with the loss of her brother and subsequent battle with anxiety and depression. This conversation explores our need to share our lives vulnerably and the quest to end the stigma that we need to have our lives together to happy and successful.  Kyla Richey is currently captain of team Canada women's volleyball. She has played for over ten years with the senior national team and has so far played seven years of professional volleyball around the world (Germany, Turkey, Italy, Greece, Azerbaijan, Indonesia, and Peru). She played for the powerhouse UBC Thunderbirds where she won five back to back national titles. Despite a very successful sporting career, Kyla has had her fair share of ups and downs. The summer before her senior year of high school, her two best friends were killed in a car crash while she was away competing with the Junior National Team. More recently, her younger brother died six years ago and since then, has been struggling with the realities of balancing this life with her grief. An advocate for younger athletes, she wants to bring attention to the daily struggles that we all try to burry. Whether that is dealing with confidence, learning how to step into your true self, balancing athletics and grief, or battles with mental health, Kyla wants to bring it all to the surface. Talking through these issues and being as real as she can be on social media and on her website (re her blog), Kyla hopes that she can foster community and relationship between individuals who might relate. With dreams set high on qualifying for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, she is working hard to inspire both teammates and individuals in her volleyball circle worldwide.  Consider supporting the podcast monthly by joining the Patreon community / Connect with Andrea and The Couragecast on IG or Facebook Shop our Amazon Affiliate / www.thecouragecast.com

In this episode, Dr. Greg Lane interviewed Joanie Anderson, former X games gold medalist in snowboarding. Joanie grew up home-schooled in a large family in South Lake Tahoe. Her classroom was the mountains, so Joanie and her sisters naturally became competitive snowboarders. Joanie was eleven when she won her first national championship and continued to win nationals for many years following. When she was 16, Joanie was invited to join the U.S. Junior National Team. She won her first Junior World title in New Zealand in 2002, and the following year in Germany. At 17, she competed in her first X Games- competing in both boardercross and halfpipe. Joanie competed in X Games for eight consecutive years, winning a silver medal in 2006, gold in 2007, and bronze in 2010 in boardercross. At the 2009 Olympic test event in Vancouver, she dislocated her hip during a time trial run. That event began her phasing out of competitive snowboarding and into her next adventure as a student of Chinese Medicine at Pacific College of Oriental Medicine. Dr. Lane and Ms. Anderson talked about Joanie’s experience with diet, exercise, yoga, and other methods she relied on to become a champion.
