Podcasts about national soccer team

Heather Mitts Feeley is a three-time Olympic gold medalist and former U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team defender, celebrated for her relentless grit, tenacity, and leadership both on and off the field. A University of Florida alum, Heather helped build their soccer program from the ground up and became a national champion. After retiring from soccer, she transformed her athlete’s mindset into motivational speaking and advocacy, inspiring business leaders and championing equity in sports. Today, Heather balances her passion for empowering others with her most cherished role: being a present and loving mom to her three children. Takeaways: Mindset Matters Everywhere: The ‘gold medal mindset’ isn’t just for athletes; Heather shares how the principles of resilience, goal setting, and controlling what you can translate seamlessly into business and life. Surround Yourself with the Right People: Heather emphasizes the importance of curating your inner circle, noting that the company you keep can fuel—or hinder—your growth and dreams. Adversity Builds Strength: From career-altering injuries to personal loss, Heather’s journey reveals that hardship can sharpen your toughness, shape your character, and lead to your greatest moments of triumph. Sound Bites: “You retire from the sport; you don’t retire from being an athlete. The dog mentality is still there.” “We are the sum of the five people that we spend the most time with. That blows my mind, because at one point in my life, my five weren’t great, but now they are amazing.” “Giving yourself permission to imagine a positive outcome—dreaming—doesn’t stop when you grow up, it’s something we need all our lives.” Mick’s Quote: “A great leader knows their team better than their team knows themselves. Meaning you know how they think, you know the right positions to put them in, and you set them up for success by knowing them better than they know themselves.” Connect & Discover Heather: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/heather-mitts-1b50a18/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hmitts2/?hl=en Website: Players for Good FOLLOW MICK ON:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mickunplugged/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mickunplugged/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@mickunplugged LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mickhunt/Website: https://www.mickhuntofficial.com Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mick-unplugged/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Every person on your team has strengths and…non-strengths. So position them to make the most out of their top skills.It's like how in soccer, you position your top goal-scorer as a forward, not running defense, right? The same is true with marketing. In this episode, we're drawing parallels between soccer and marketing. With the help of our special guest, former Director of Brand Strategy, Storytelling & Advocacy at Ciscy, Cindy Valladares, we're taking marketing lessons from the U.S. Women's National Soccer Team. Together, we talk about using your talent the right way, taking calculated risks, and putting fear in the heart of your competitors.About our guest, Cindy ValladaresCindy Valladares is a marketing executive who recently led brand strategy, storytelling and advocacy for Cisco's cybersecurity business unit. A product marketer at heart, she lives by the NIHITO (nothing interesting happens in the office) motto. Cindy has been a speaker at various security, risk and privacy conferences in North America, Europe and Latin America, where she focuses on topics that affect the information security industry. She is a regular contributor at the Cisco Secure blog, shares her perspective on Twitter @cindyv, and can also be found on LinkedIn at www.linkedin.com/in/cindyvalladares/. She holds an international MBA from the University of Ottawa in Canada, and a BBA in Marketing and International Business.What B2B Companies Can Learn From the USWNT:Take calculated risks. You have to try new things and take some risks. That's how you keep your content fresh and find the big successes. Cindy says that when Emma Hayes took over coaching the U.S. Women's National Team, “she made some very unpopular choices, right? Alex Morgan, who everybody thought was going to be called in the roster, she was left out. And so [Emma] had new creative ideas that she wanted to try, and took some calculated risks. And like we say, nothing tried, nothing gained, and you can see the results.” And a few months later, they won the 2024 Paris Olympics.Use your talent the right way. Match their strengths and skills to the role. And put them on tasks they'll perform well on. When everyone is doing work they're good at and that utilizes their strengths, it benefits the whole team. Ian says, “ Part of the Emma Hayes thing is Trinity Rodman flying down the right side of your team is super valuable because she's like one of the best in the world and she's fast and athletic and all that. Having her spam a cross into nobody even though she's good at that too doesn't help your team. That's not a more valuable action. Whereas her trying to take on the defender one on one, if she does win, and now she's driving at the goal with nobody in between her and the goal, that's way more valuable. And like, I think that that's part of what marketing is about, is figuring out what are the more high leverage things that you can do that make a huge difference.”Put fear in the heart of your competitors. Or more like envy. You want your competitors to look at your content and be jealous. Ian says, “ Every team that we played in the Olympics  is absolutely terrified of the front three of our country sprinting after them  with their defenders on their heels. It's like the most terrifying thing in the world is Trinity Rodman sprinting at their backline, right? And I think about this with competitors with your content campaign. Like I talk about the edutainment graph, rated on a scale of one out of 10 educational, one out of 10 entertaining. So rank your content on the graph and before you even plan to make something, is your competitor going to see this and be like, ‘Oh, I'm so jealous, this is great,' Or is it just something that they're gonna like, ‘All right?'” Quotes*”It's  really important in marketing organizations to lead with a leadership style that creates empathy and allows others to do their best, not a culture of fear.”*” That's an important element of a leader, understanding who you have on your team, what motivates and drives them, and how can you create an environment where they can perform and outperform?”Time Stamps[0:55] Meet Cindy Valladares, former Director of Brand Strategy, Storytelling & Advocacy at Cisco[3:41] History and Achievements of the US Women's National Soccer Team[6:38] Equal Pay and Gender Equality Advocacy[8:09] Emma Hayes' Impact on the US Women's National Soccer Team[13:36] Marketing Lessons from Soccer[21:38] Emma Hayes' Coaching Strategies[24:25] Recognizing and Utilizing Team Strengths[25:17] Leveraging Senior Executives in Content[26:49] Maximizing Talent and High-Value Actions[29:11] Understanding Your Audience in Content Strategy[32:36] Creating Impactful and Entertaining Content[35:30] Balancing Brand Awareness and Demand Generation[39:27] Favorite Content Campaigns and Their ImpactLinksConnect with Cindy on LinkedInAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

Top shot © Ron Tarver Cowboy lore has deep roots in American culture. Yet, black cowboys have lived pretty much under the radar until recently, when songs by pop culture icons Lil Nas X and Beyoncé went viral and catapulted the black western aesthetic into the limelight. In today's show, we're getting the inside scoop from two photographers who've been fully immersed in these vibrant communities since long before they became a top fashion trend. Separated by a generation in age and with pictures spanning from film to digital, we follow Ron Tarver and Ivan McClellan from their early years in Oklahoma and Kansas, to the urban stables of Northern Philadelphia, the legendary Roy LeBlanc Rodeo in Okmulgee, Oklahoma, and beyond. Listen in and discover how the popularity of a single newspaper assignment led Ron to the pages of National Geographic and a career defining body of work. In a similar manner, Ivan's hunch to act on a chance invitation morphed into a passion project that reconnected him to his midwestern roots and ultimately expanded his role from photographer to that of an entrepreneur and rodeo boss.  Ever wonder about the funding and stamina required to compete as a rodeo athlete? We take that bull by the horns at the end of the show. Guests: Ron Tarver & Ivan McClellan Episode Timeline: 4:09: Ron Tarver and Ivan McClellan's early memories of cowboy culture during their respective youths in Kansas City and Fort Gibson, Oklahoma. 9:19: Ron's early story for the Philadelphia Inquirer and his subsequent documentation of black cowboy culture. 15:06: The camera gear and film stock Ron used for his pictures, plus digitizing analog slides using a digital camera, macro lens and bellows system. 20:15: Technical limitations Ron faced when shooting film, and his editing process when working with National Geographic. 23:19: Ivan's start as a designer, his introduction to photography and the world of black cowboys, and his shooting process at the rodeo. 33:40: The dominance of women within black rodeos, a female horse whisperer, and tips for photographing horses in a rodeo context. 44:34: Episode Break 45:35: The journey behind our guest's respective books, and Ron's collaboration with a noted editor to create The Long Ride Home. 51:19: The back story to Ivan's book—from a self-published Kickstarter release to the editor he worked with to get Eight Seconds published by Damiani. 57:10: Ivan and Ron discuss each other's finished book projects, questions about model releases, plus the current hunger for black cowboy culture.  1:05:23: Ivan's work to promote black rodeo athletes and the economics of competing in this arena. 1:10:39: How Ivan's life has changed since founding the Eight Seconds rodeo in Portland, Oregon. 1:16:04: The impact of Ivan's work on the lives of rodeo athletes, and the maximum number of bulls a rodeo athlete can ride in a single day.  Guest Bios: Ron Tarver was born and raised in Fort Gibson, Oklahoma, and is now based outside Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. During 32 years as a staffer at The Philadelphia Inquirer, he was nominated for three Pulitzer's and shared the 2012 Pulitzer Prize for public service, in addition to many other accolades. Tarver's photographs have been exhibited internationally. His pictures can be found in private, corporate, and museum collections, and have appeared in major publications both in print and online.  In 2004, he co-authored the book We Were There: Voices of African American Veterans, published by Harper Collins, accompanied by a traveling exhibition. A recipient of a 2021 Guggenheim Fellowship and a 2001 Pew Fellowship in the Arts, Tarver has also received funding from the NEA, the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, and an Independence Foundation Fellowship.  He currently serves as Associate Professor of Art at Swarthmore College. His book, The Long Ride Home: Black Cowboys in America was released by George F Thompson Publishers in September. Ivan McClellan is a photojournalist and designer originally from Kansas City, Missouri. These days he calls Portland, Oregon home.  His work reveals marginalized aspects of black culture, challenging broad assumptions and myths about racial identity in America.  His project Eight Seconds, focuses on elevating narratives about American Black cowboys, and transforming the culture of the American West by ‘re-centering' black women and men back as an integral part of our historical narrative.  After initially self-publishing his photos in book form, Eight Seconds: Black Rodeo Culture was released by Damiani books in April 2024. The winner of the 2022 Getty Inclusion grant, McClellan's photos have been presented in and collected by Museums and cultural spaces across the United States. His work has also been featured in ESPN: The Undefeated and Fast Company.  As an experience designer for Adobe Lightroom, he has led projects for Nike, Adidas, Disney, and the U.S. National Soccer Team. And most recently, he founded the Eight Seconds Rodeo in 2023.

GDP Script/ Top Stories for August 20th Publish Date:  August 20th   From the BG AD Group Studio, Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Tuesday, August 20th and Happy heavenly Birthday to Isaac Hayes. ***08.20.24 – BIRTHDAY – ISAAC HAYES*** I'm Keith Ippolito and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia Eminent Domain Battle Brewing Between Norcross and Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation Three Gwinnett Grads Named AP Football Preseason All-Americans Buford's Neely Kerr Headed to Colombia with US U-20 World Cup Team All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe! Break 1: KIA M.O.G.   STORY 1:    Eminent Domain Battle Brewing Between Norcross and Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation The Norcross Woman's Club and the Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation are in dispute with the City of Norcross over the future of the club's historic building, which was recently donated to the Trust. The city plans to consider a condemnation resolution on September 3, initiating the eminent domain process. While the city insists this move is not intended for demolition, the Georgia Trust is concerned that it could jeopardize the building's preservation. The Trust aims to restore the building and convert it into a private residence with preservation easements, but the city prefers a public use for the structure. The building, originally Gwinnett County's first library and designed with Greek Revival architecture, remains a point of contention. STORY 2: Three Gwinnett Grads Named AP Football Preseason All-Americans Three former Gwinnett prep stars have been named to the Associated Press preseason All-American Team. Caleb Downs, a safety for Ohio State, was previously an All-American at Alabama and leads the defense. Barrett Carter, a linebacker at Clemson, is also on the first-team defense, known for his impressive stats and All-ACC selection. Travis Hunter of Colorado, a versatile player from Collins Hill, made the first-team offense as an all-purpose player. Ohio State led with four selections, while Georgia and Michigan each had three. STORY 3:     Buford's Neely Kerr Headed to Colombia with US U-20 World Cup Team Neely Kerr, a senior at Buford, received exciting news that disrupted her school year: she was selected as one of three alternates for the U.S. Under-20 Women's National Soccer Team for the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup in Colombia. Initially listed as a provisional roster member, Kerr was called up after an injury opened a spot. She'll complete her schoolwork online from Colombia through early September. Despite not being on the main roster, this opportunity to train with the team is a significant step in her soccer career. Kerr, who has been highly successful in high school soccer, will graduate early and join Clemson University in January. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows.

The majority of students are from Gwinnett County, but the college also attracts students from across the U.S. and 116 countries, with Vietnam, Nigeria, Venezuela, Mexico, and India being the top five. Dr. Michael Poll, VP of Enrollment Management, credits this growth to strong collaboration among staff and a focus on student success and retention, which has led to a 4% increase in returning students. STORY 5: Pearl Harbor Hero To Be Laid To Rest On December 7, 1941, U.S. Navy Fireman 2nd Class Joseph William Carroll perished aboard the USS Oklahoma during the attack on Pearl Harbor. Of the 429 crewmen lost, 388 remained unidentified until recent efforts began to exhume and identify remains. By August 19, 2019, Carroll was among those identified. His remains will be interred at the National Cemetery of the Pacific in Honolulu on August 21, 2024. Carroll's cousin, Nancy Leigh Carroll De La Cruz, will attend the ceremony, honoring his sacrifice and placing him to rest alongside his fellow sailors. This closure follows 77 years of uncertainty, highlighting the Navy's dedication to identifying and honoring fallen service members. We'll have final thoughts after this.   Break 4: INGLES 1 Signoff – Thanks again for hanging out with us on today's Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast.

President and GM of Soccer Operations for the Washington Spirit, Mark Krikorian, joins the show to discuss how Trinity Rodman played a pivotal role in leading the US Women's National Soccer Team to Olympic Gold. He also previews the second half of the season for the Washington Spirit, sharing insights on the team's goals and what fans can expect.

A couple of interesting businesses hit the market recently, which we talk about on this week's Access Louisville podcast.The first is Colonial Gardens, a South Louisville landmark that's home to four restaurants: Hokkaido Ramen & Sushi, Costa Del Sol, Craft House Pizza and The B.A. Colonial. It was redeveloped by Louisville-based Underhill Associates starting in 2017. LBF Senior Reporter Joel Stinnett spoke with Underhill Associates president Jeff Underhill about why now is the right time to sell. “We're developers. We're not buy and hold guys," he told Stinnett. The fact that the development is full with the four restaurants having strong leases is probably a strong selling point as well. After that, Reporter Michael L. Jones tells us about Third Street Dive being put on the market. He spoke with Lynne Frost, who's owned the establishment since 2010 about how the bar still does good business and has actually become a bit touristy in more recent years (it's close to several hotels) even while maintaining its punk rock identity. Later in the show we chat about the closure of Pivot Brewing, a visit by the U.S. Women's National Soccer Team, a new "secret" garden speakeasy in Shelby Park and the latest on the redevelopment of Louisville Gardens. Access Louisville is a weekly podcast from Louisville Business First. Join us for Access Louisville's next live recording: Sept. 9 at JA BizTown, sponsored by Junior Achievement of Kentuckiana. Tickets and details here.

Who's to blame for the U.S. Women's National Soccer Team Pay Disparity? This week, The Alarmist (Rebecca Delgado Smith) welcomes filmmaker Christina Dodson and the owner of Rough and Tumble, Seattle's home for women's sports, Jen Barnes to discuss the complicated history of US Women's Soccer and their fight for equal pay. They're joined by Fact Checker Chris Smith and Producer Clayton Early. Does a “Weak Female” narrative have something to do with it?

Steve Shenbaum is the founder of Game On Nation, a nationally recognized communication firm that employs game dynamics and improvisation to teach high-performance teamwork as well as communication, story-telling, public-speaking and presentation skills. Game On Nation provides authentic and down-to-earth courses, keynotes, and custom training programs that are widely accessible and extremely successful. For over 27 years, Steve and his company have helped people at the highest level of every sphere in the country, including leaders at Fortune 100 companies, college and professional sports teams, all branches of the military, NASA, and the U.S. House of Representatives. Steve gained notoriety for his early acting career, with featured roles in popular comedy films and shows such as Space Jam, Will & Grace, and American Pie 2. He understands the immense power of positive humor, and his professional success allows access to high-level audiences and clients. Notable clients Steve has worked with include Yao Ming, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Carmelo Anthony, Sydney Crosby, Abby Wambach, and the U.S. Women's National Soccer Team, to name a few. One of those notable clients, Alex Smith, the #1 NFL draft pick in 2005, shared this testimonial: "Steve has had a major impact on my career by giving me tangible techniques to improve my communication, leadership, and overall development both on and off the field. He's also an incredible encourager and one of the funniest people I know.” Steve's authenticity and knowledge of team building and experiential learning have not gone unnoticed; he created and oversaw the communication, leadership, and media training program at IMG Academy from 2003-2012.

Mission Statement and Workplace Culture Michael D. Levitt and Steve Shenbaum discussed the importance of organizations understanding and aligning on their mission statements and the behaviors that embody them. Steve emphasized the need to go beyond the mission statement, engage with team members, and agree on behaviors that reflect the mission. He also highlighted the value of asking deeper questions and doing the necessary work to understand and address underlying issues. Michael agreed, noting the importance of preventative care over reactive measures, and the necessity of having difficult conversations about workplace culture. He shared an example of an abrupt departure from an organization, suggesting that such incidents could be prevented with better understanding and alignment. Communication and Expectation Setting in Workplace Michael and Steve discussed the importance of communication and expectation setting in the workplace. They identified a communication issue where employees felt unheard or misunderstood by management, which could have been prevented by open dialogue. They also highlighted the role of leadership in effectively delegating tasks and checking in on the workload of their employees. Additionally, they emphasized the need to establish clear expectations for employees, such as work hours and communication protocols, to avoid misalignment and ensure accountability. Learning and Management Styles in the Workplace Steve and Michael discussed the importance of understanding individual learning and management styles within the workplace. Steve emphasized the need for individuals to recognize what works for them and what doesn't, and the role of leadership in supporting their team. Michael noted that different generations may require different management styles. They also discussed the success of Steve's business, which is not niche in terms of audience, but is niche in terms of its delivery style, specifically focusing on presentation skills. Improvisation for Team Building Steve Shenbaum discussed the focus of his team on presentation and teamwork skills, using improvisation as a tool. He highlighted the importance of finding common ground to bring out people's talents and learning styles in a positive way. Steve also stressed the need to do challenging things together in a safe environment, and how improvisation can help create a strong bond. He emphasized the importance of communicating and trusting each other, and celebrating small wins. Michael D. Levitt shared his personal experience with a team building exercise that revealed similarities between him and a colleague who had a different perception of him, which Steve used to highlight the importance of focusing on behaviors rather than labels. Workplace Culture and Productivity Steve Shenbaum and Michael D. Levitt discussed the importance of workplace culture and productivity. Steve suggested a number of changes to enhance work processes, including adjusting meeting schedules, eliminating lunch and learns, and treating employees with respect. He shared insights from FC Cincinnati's general manager, who attributed their success to simple practices like sharing meals and acknowledging people's birthdays. Steve also mentioned that his company, Game On Nation, provides resources to improve presentation and communication skills.

Today, we discuss the recent controversy over Korbin Albert, a player on the U.S. Women's National Soccer Team who apologized after facing backlash for sharing a video testimony of a Christian who repented of a transgender and homosexual lifestyle. We explain why apologizing is not an example of how Christians should handle backlash from sharing the gospel. Plus, Richard Dawkins recently said he doesn't want to lose "cultural Christianity" and prefers Christianity over Islam. Yet, he claims that he doesn't believe anything that has to do with actual Christianity. And were dinosaurs homosexual? A British museum thinks so ... but we have questions. --- Timecodes: (00:43) Korbin Albert's apology (22:14) Richard Dawkins on Christianity (42:10) Were dinosaurs gay? --- Today's Sponsors: Jase Medical — get up to a year's worth of many of your prescription medications delivered in advance. Go to JaseMedical.com today and use promo code “ALLIE".

The US Women's National Soccer Team have found themselves in an unfamiliar position going into the knockout stage of the World Cup: with their backs against the wall. The USWNT, who have historically dominated the tournament since its inception and have never finished worse than third place, struggled through the group stage…and it won't get any easier, as a physical Sweden team awaits them in the round of 16.  ESPN's Ali Krieger is a former member of the USWNT herself, and she tells us what she's seen on the pitch from her old team, how expansion of women's soccer around the world has elevated this edition of the World Cup…and why there's still hope for a USA three-peat.
