This week on the Science for Sport podcast, Richard Graves is joined by Emily Jacobson, Assistant Director of Sports Performance at Marquette University. Emily has spent the past decade building and refining a sports science model within a relatively small department, working primarily with men's and women's soccer and volleyball. Alongside her role at Marquette, she also contributes to U.S. Soccer in a high-performance capacity. In this conversation, we explore one of the most pressing challenges in applied sports science: how do you simplify complex data streams so they become actionable for coaches and meaningful for athletes? From acute:chronic workload ratios and GPS monitoring to return-to-play frameworks and Power BI dashboards, Emily shares how she transformed “expensive toys” into effective performance tools. She discusses the importance of visualisation, collaboration with data engineers, humility in decision-making, and why the “eyeball test” still matters in a world driven by wearables and AI. For practitioners working in elite sport, or those building systems within constrained environments, this episode offers practical insight into making sports science more impactful, not just more complex. In this episode you will learn: How to simplify GPS and workload data for real-world application Why acute:chronic workload ratios are a framework — not a solution How to build effective data visualisations that coaches actually use The difference between “expensive toys” and performance tools How to structure phased return-to-play models with clear definitions Why collaboration with data engineers and academics can transform departments How to educate athletes in an era of AI, social media and misinformation Why patience and long-term development still matter How to adapt sports science systems in the transfer-portal era Why relationships remain more important than technology About Emily Jacobson Emily Jacobson is the Assistant Director of Sports Performance at Marquette University, where she has worked for the past 10 seasons. A former Marquette women's soccer student-athlete, she now oversees sports science and performance systems across multiple programmes, with a particular focus on soccer and volleyball. She has helped develop load monitoring models, return-to-play protocols and data visualisation systems that integrate GPS, velocity-based training, force plates, motion capture and body composition analysis. In addition to her work at Marquette, Emily serves as a network employee within U.S. Soccer's high-performance department. Her approach combines applied performance coaching, collaborative analytics, and a strong emphasis on education and athlete relationships.

667. Part 2 of our conversation with Kathleen Kass Byrd about her book on the history of Natchitoches. "Kathleen M. Byrd's Natchitoches, Louisiana, 1803–1840 is an examination of one French Creole community as it transitioned from a fur-trading and agricultural settlement under the control of Spain to a critical American outpost on the Spanish/American frontier and finally to a commercial hub and jumping-off point for those heading west. Byrd focuses on historic events in the area and the long-term French Creole residents as they adapted to the American presence. She also examines the effect of the arrival of the Americans, with their Indian trading house and Indian agency, on Native groups and considers how members of the enslaved population took advantage of opportunities for escape presented by a new international border. Byrd shows how the arrival of Americans forever changed Natchitoches, transforming it from a sleepy frontier settlement into a regional commercial center and staging point for pioneers heading into Texas" (LSU Pr.). Kathleen M. Byrd (nicknamed Kass) is a distinguished anthropologist, archaeologist, and historian specializing in the history and prehistory of Louisiana, particularly the Natchitoches region. A native of Connecticut, she earned her B.A. from Marquette University, an M.A. from LSU (focusing on coastal subsistence patterns), and a Ph.D. from the University of Florida. She served as Louisiana's state archaeologist for 15 years before joining Northwestern State University (NSU) in Natchitoches in 1994, where she later became director of the School of Social Sciences for 12 years until her retirement.

Frosty's heritage, in great measure, came from his renegade father. Incapable of fearing anything, he was sufficient unto himself and he'd known that from the first day he'd opened his eyes and looked around the shed. There was not and never would be a situation with which he could not cope or a foe from whom he would run in panic. His self-confidence was almost as vast as his curiosity. He would stand alone, or with kindred spirits. Never would he place himself at the mercy of, or pay homage to, one who was not kindred. He liked the woman. She was unfailingly kind and gentle. She knew exactly how to pet him and she ' a small point ' brought his food. But he would not, as the gray kittens did, unbend so far as to met her at the door. She was not his superior.

A new CNN poll finds Donald Trump's approval at an abysmal 36 percent. And a Washington Post survey finds him absolutely tanking on just about all major issues. But to Trump, this cannot be real: He just issued an angry, rambling tirade about how such polls are "fake." He even declared that his support is “silent,” while insisting he got many millions more votes in 2024 than he actually got. Amusingly, this came even as Fox News aired a striking graphic showing Trump's approval on tariffs at an abysmal 34-64. This isn't the first time Fox has admitted how badly things are going: The network's own recent poll found him deeply underwater on the economy, tariffs, and even immigration. We talked to Marquette University political scientist Julia Azari, author of a good new piece explaining how Trump operates outside the Constitution. We discuss how this extra-Constitutional governing is itself rendering him deeply unpopular, why Trump's poll denial reflects a refusal to acknowledge legitimate opposition, and what it all tells us about the current state of the American experiment.

Today's guest is Zac Cupples, PT, DPT, OCS, CSCS, a physical therapist and strength coach known for bridging rehabilitation and performance. He's the founder of ZacCupples.com and is respected for translating complex concepts around respiration and movement mechanics into practical tools coaches and clinicians can immediately apply to improve efficiency, reduce pain, and enhance performance. The bridge between sports performance rehab is an important one. In the midst of movement mechanics that drive good rehab, and high intensity lifting, lies the knowledge that can help athletes make continual gains while staying robust and healthy for their sport. On today's show, Zac explores how an athlete's structure influences movement, strength training, and even injury risk. He shares his track background and how it shaped his coaching, then unpacks concepts like narrow vs. wide “ISA” builds, why some athletes struggle to feel their hamstrings in traditional lifts, and how tools like front loading, box squats, machines, and sprinting can solve it. He also digs into long-duration isometrics, mobility vs. flexibility, and finishes with a fun lightning round. Today's episode is brought to you by Hammer Strength.

"It assumes everyone has the same body but no two people are going to perform both of those movements the same way, and it's not going to load the same way." "I start the majority of people with a box squat, because the way I think about a hinge is it's different from a squat because the hips are going to be moving more along that horizontal path." "It's way more useful to think, am I moving up and down? Am I moving side to side? And then just pick exercises within what a person has available." "If someone can't produce certain rotations, and I know that you need those rotations to do this movement, you probably got to find something else to train that pattern within their constraints." "You just have to find the hinge variation that they can execute. And if they don't have much to do that, you have to create constraints." About Zac Cupples Zac Cupples, PT, DPT, OCS, CSCS is a physical therapist, strength coach, and educator specializing in human movement, respiration, and performance optimization. He is the founder of ZacCupples.com and has become widely known for translating complex biomechanical and neurophysiological concepts into practical strategies that clinicians and coaches can immediately apply. Zac earned his Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Marquette University and is board certified as an Orthopedic Clinical Specialist. He has completed extensive post-graduate education through the Postural Restoration Institute (PRI) and integrates principles of respiration, pelvic mechanics, thoracic positioning, and neuromuscular control into both rehabilitation and performance training. Through his online courses, seminars, and educational content, Zac has influenced thousands of clinicians and coaches worldwide. His work bridges the gap between rehab and high performance, helping athletes move more efficiently, reduce pain, and unlock higher levels of strength and speed through better positional awareness and strategic breathing. Zac currently treats clients and consults internationally, while continuing to produce educational resources aimed at elevating the standard of movement practice in both clinical and performance settings.

Milwaukee, Wisconsin episode I've been traveling solo since 1972. Now you can experience for yourself the Best Selling Book Series: 5 Steps to Solo Travel, A Woman's Guide to Travel and Destinations in Her Prime, a book series found on Amazon. Please rate this podcast and the book! The FAQ is "What's my plan if I get sick, injured, or suddenly can't continue my trip alone?" Today's Mistake- Staying in a destination too long because leaving feels like failure Travel Advice: Organize your apps FAQ: "What's my plan if I get sick, injured, or suddenly can't continue my trip alone?" You talk confidence and preparation, but many women want a realistic breakdown of escalation: minor illness vs. hospital vs. trip-ending events, and who steps in when independence temporarily fails. Answer: As a solo senior traveler, confidence doesn't mean pretending nothing will go wrong. It means knowing exactly what you'll do if it does. Before every trip, I decide three things: where I would go for medical care, how I would get there, and who would help me make decisions if I wasn't at my best. I carry travel medical insurance, keep my medications and health information accessible, and I don't hesitate to slow the trip or stop it if my body tells me to. Independence includes knowing when to accept help—and planning for it before you need it. Today's destination: Milwaukee, WI Milwaukee is 92 miles from Chicago and is a place I visited while I lived in the Midwest. I've been planning this episode for years and love my Wisconsin friends. Some fond memories include Summerfest in July for seeing great music, like Elvin Bishop, and watching Brewers baseball, with the mascot Bernie Brewer sliding when they hit a home run or win a game. The mascot used to slide into a 20-foot-high beer mug, but now they slide into the dugout. https://www.jsonline.com/videos/sports/mlb/brewers/2019/04/04/taking-ride-down-bernie-brewers-slide-miller-park/3363629002/ Another memory is visiting Marquette University and the surrounding student areas. Take a stroll to the East Side and see the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee. Go to a sports event if you can. I'm a fan of college basketball, so take in a game for me. You should check out the college scene, with at least a dozen higher education institutions here. There are about 70,000 college students here, the largest in Wisconsin, and the 6th largest in the US and Canada, with a high number of college students per capita. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colleges_and_universities_of_Milwaukee The Third Ward of Milwaukee is buzzing these days. It's a historic area with boutique shops, art galleries, restaurants, and a public market. For a rainy day, you may check out one of the museums, like the Art Museum, known for its "Wings" of the Quadracci Pavilion, or the Georgia O'Keeffe exhibits. There's also a Harley-Davidson Museum and a Pabst Mansion. If you want to see more beer artifacts, visit the Lakefront Brewery and consider a tour. On the Lakefront, you will find Discovery World, another museum with science, tech, and maritime exhibits. I enjoy walking the Lake Michigan Shoreline. You can find a bench and relax while people-watching. The riverwalk features public art and a bronze statue of The Fonz. If you travel in the winter, you will be chilled. Bone-chilling winds can be felt on Lake Michigan, so dress for that. In summer, it's a delight, but be aware of the changing weather conditions at all times. Stick to the main tourist attractions and don't wander far away. Be cautious if alone at night. Guided tours may be a good idea if you want company as a solo traveler. Don't Miss Food Scene: Try local specialties like cheese curds, bratwurst, and craft beers. Milwaukee Public Market: A foodie haven with a variety of vendors. Jazz in the Park: If visiting during the summer, Cathedral Square Park offers free outdoor concerts. Tips for Solo Travelers Stay in centrally located accommodations, such as the Downtown or the Historic Third Ward, for easy access to attractions. Join a guided tour for a fun way to explore with others (walking, brewery, or riverboat tours). Today's Mistake- Staying in a destination too long Dr. Travelbest discusses choosing destinations wisely and the emotional trap of staying put when it's clearly not working—due to loneliness, stress, health concerns, or safety concerns. The mistake is prioritizing the plan over personal well-being. I stayed too long in the heat of Palm Springs in the summer. That was too hot, so I suggest finding a cooler spot in the middle of summer.

If your brand feels too small to matter, this blueprint shows why that might be your unfair advantage.In this episode of Sharkpreneur, Seth Greene interviews Mark Rampolla, Co-Founder and Co-Managing Partner at GroundForce Capital, who unpacks how a niche idea became a global category. Mark shares the strategy that took ZICO from yoga studios in NYC to nationwide shelves, the discipline behind constant pitching and fundraising, and why exits aren't the finish line. He also discusses his new book on putting freedom first, and his work at Ground Force Capital (backer of brands like Liquid Death and Beyond Meat), helping founders scale both their companies and their lives.Key Takeaways:→ Why “inch-wide, mile-deep” focus beats broad launches for breakthrough CPG growth.→ How pairing a product with a specific usage occasion (post-hot yoga) created early traction.→ The surprising first hurdle: taste—and how “preach to the choir” accelerates momentum.→ Fundraising reality: why you either get profitable fast or get great at raising—continuously.→ The nine-year “overnight success” mindset and the decade-long horizon most wins require.Mark Rampolla is Co-Founder and Co-Managing Partner at GroundForce Capital (GFC), where he works closely with founders and teams to build impactful businesses. He has represented GFC on the boards of leading companies, including Vive Organic, OWYN, Liquid Death, Kinder Farms, Flying Embers, and ZICO Rising.

In Session 320, I sit down with Landon Cowan and Tiffany Kodak to talk about an area of behavior analysis that doesn't get nearly enough attention: professional (or "soft") skills. We spend a lot of time in our field teaching and refining technical, clinical, or "hard" skills—and for good reason. But far less time is devoted to the interpersonal, communication, and problem-solving skills that ultimately determine how effective we are as clinicians, supervisors, and collaborators. In this conversation, Landon and Tiffany share their research aimed at identifying, defining, and measuring these professional skills, along with some eye-opening findings about where skill gaps exist.

This week on Hustling Sideways, Allen Halas and Jim Love get real about the inevitable slumps that hit every side hustler. We've all been there—staring at the screen, unable to find that creative spark, or watching productivity flatline despite our best intentions. The guys open up about their own struggles with losing momentum, sharing the honest (and sometimes hilarious) ways they've tried to snap out of it. Allen and Jim explore practical strategies that have actually worked when motivation runs dry. Whether you're grinding on your passion project or building your empire one evening at a time, this episode offers a much-needed reality check: everyone falls out of the zone, and getting back in is a skill worth developing.Follow us:Allen HalasAllenHalas.comBreakingAndEntering.netThreads/Bluesky: @AllenHalasInstagram: @AllenHalasJim LoveGoAuthenticYou.comTwitter: @jim_m_loveInstagram: @jimm.loveHustling Sideways is a business podcast hosted by Milwaukee-based music writer Allen Halas and keynote and motivational speaker Jim Love.

Toe pick! If you don't love The Cutting Edge, something is seriously wrong with you. This week Dart Adams and Paul Gagliardi drop in to talk about the history behind the 1992 cult classic and why we love it so damn much. About our guests:Dart Adams is a historian, journalist and a lecturer from Boston, MA. His work has appeared in various online & print publications including Complex, NPR, Mass Appeal, Okayplayer, DJ Booth, Hip Hop Wired, The Urban Daily, The Vinyl Factory, uDiscover Music, Urban Legends, LEVEL, Ebony, Rock The Bells, Andscape (ESPN), Bay State Banner, Boston Globe Magazine, and Boston Magazine. He's also the owner/operator of independent imprint label Producers I Know/Fat Beats and host of Dart Against Humanity and the Boston Legends Podcast.Dr. Paul Gagliardi is an associate teaching professor at Marquette University. His primary fields of research are twentieth-century American cultural studies, drama and performance studies, labor studies, and film studies. And his research focuses on the intersection between economic calamity, theories of work and labor, and the performative art people produce during eras like the Great Depression. In his courses, he emphasizes understanding the historical, social, and cultural context of texts, but also now our contemporary readings problematize literature. He also fosters interdisciplinary dialogue between all fields in his courses, and supports students with both their academic and professional goals.His book, All Play and No Work: American Work Ideals and the Comic Plays of the Federal Theatre Project (Temple University Press, 2023), examines how select comedies produced by the federal government during the Great Depression portrayed complicated norms of working and labor. I argue that many plays actually subverted norms of traditional labor or promoted alternative forms of working to audiences during the 1930s. My writing on the Federal Theatre Project and other subjects, such as confidence artists and literature or other theater studies, has appeared in such outlets as Journal of American Drama and Threatre, Middle West Review, and Howlround, and I have a forthcoming chapter on portrayals of unions in pro wrestling. My current research project examines the cultural history of ice-skating shows in the United States and Canada in the 20th Century, focusing on how shows like the Ice Follies and Ice Capades intersected with sports and theater, as well as how they promoted and challenged gender norms.

Ryan Duns is back on the podcast to talk about his provocative new book exploring horror and theology, and boy does he deliver some counterintuitive insights. He argues that horror is actually the most conservative film genre—and that's precisely why it works so well for theological reflection. Think about it: to be scared, you first have to believe there's something worth protecting. Ryan walks us through how horror films function as underground spaces where transcendence has been displaced and distorted, creating what he calls "frag events" that shatter our comfortable assumptions about reality. From The Purge and mimetic desire to The Black Phone and eucatastrophe, he shows how these films operate as photographic negatives of divine transcendence, revealing both our metaphysical vulnerability and our deep hunger for meaning. We dive into concepts like the "dark transcendent," the porosity of being, and why feeling horror is actually a sign of soul. Plus, Ryan shares stories from his Theology of Horror class—including angry parent emails and a student who ended up joining the Jesuits. If you've ever wondered what a philosophical theologian is doing teaching about chainsaw massacres and demonic possession, this conversation will blow your mind while making you rethink everything about faith, fear, and what it means to be human. Check out the book, Theology of Horror: The Hidden Depths of Popular Films. You can WATCH the conversation on YouTube Ryan G. Duns, SJ, (twitter) is a Jesuit priest and an assistant professor of theology at Marquette University. His locates his work the intersection of philosophy and systematic theology and is interested in regarding theology as practice or “way of life.” He has published on Karl Rahner, Jean-Luc Marion, René Girard, and his most recent work has involved a sustained engagement with William Desmond's metaphysics. His monograph “Spiritual Exercises for a Secular Age: Desmond and the Quest for God” argues that, when read as a form of spiritual exercise (Pierre Hadot), Desmond's philosophy can re-awaken a sense of the Transcendent.
