Aria walked into a foundation board room a few years ago and Ruth Turner stopped speaking to the person next to her, pointed at Aria, and said, “I have a dress in that same fabric.” And so began their friendship! What started as an enthusiastic conversation over Ghanaian fabrics and clothes designed by a mutual friend, turned into one of Aria's most important relationships of her adulthood.   Ruth B. Turner graduated from Nazareth College of Rochester receiving a B.S. in Social Work and an MSW from University of Buffalo. She also holds an MS. Ed from SUNY Brockport. She is a licensed Clinical Social Worker who has served the profession for over 24 years.    Dr. Turner is known as a champion of children and families in Rochester, New York which she calls home. As an educator, she has committed herself to the principles of restorative practices, equity, diversity, and inclusion. Under her administrative leadership with Rochester City School District (RCSD), she worked to support the most vulnerable students and was an advocate for all students and families. In her tenure, she led the revision of the student code of conduct. She also led the district in adopting restorative justice initiatives in terms of student discipline, as was a key leader of anti-racism work for the district.    For over 13 years she served the Rochester City School District as a social worker, Director, and Executive Director for student support services. Before her departure, she served as the Chief for Student Support and Social Emotional Learning. Before joining RCSD she led the foster care and adoption unit for the Urban League of Rochester. She also spent several years as a trainer for the Center for the Development of Human Services, where she focused on child welfare services.    Ruth's commitment to the intersection of social work, social welfare, and education began very early in life, rooted in her experience immigrating to the US as a political refugee from Eritrea. It was the kindness and diligence of a social worker who aided her successful transition during one of the most challenging periods in her life. Through the support and advocacy of individuals like this social worker, Ruth graduated from the RCSD and attended college as a 1st generation college student. She has never forgotten the power of support in mitigating the effects of adverse events in childhood, that can aid in helping individuals to reach their fullest potential.   Dr. Turner is married to Dr. William R. Turner Jr., Assistant Professor of African and African American Studies at SUNY Brockport. Together they have three children.   Links: Black Mental Health: https://nami.org/About-NAMI/NAMI-News/2020/NAMI-s-Statement-On-Recent-Racist-Incidents-and-Mental-Health-Resources-for-African-Americans?gclid=CjwKCAjwieuGBhAsEiwA1Ly_ne82WI56amGffdzBDOoCzPzwpg9t5RU0SQ3h7QKCc6fP5u7fYZih_RoC5UQQAvD_BwE Eritrea War of Independence: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eritrean_War_of_Independence High Expectations: https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2017/10/24/study-finds-high-school-teachers-have-differing-expectations-black-and-white https://hub.jhu.edu/2016/03/30/racial-bias-teacher-expectations-black-white/ https://www.edweek.org/leadership/teachers-lower-expectations-for-black-students-may-become-self-fulfilling-prophecies-study-finds/2017/10 John Turner: https://theithacan.org/writer/john-turner/page/4/ https://www.regents.nysed.gov/ https://www2.naz.edu/   Keywords: Black, educator, social worker, mental health, social emotional health, children, family, Eritrea, refugee, doctor of Education, high expectations, political refugee, support, idea of self, self-determination, social justice, civil rights, NYS Board of Regents, DEI, Restorative Practice, Nazareth College

In this episode of the Forza Athletics Life and Coaching Podcast I share a few different strategies I've incorporated over my coaching career that are focused on how many training sessions to complete per week, per event. In this episode I discuss the training breakdown Dylan and I incorporated last season that led him to finishing the season ranked 4th overall in the discus in Division III. I also share thoughts about how Luis and I and Brandon and I planned out their training programs based on their unique goals. In the 2015-16 season, Luis' goal was to be a double national champion in the 35lb. weight throw and hammer throw. Brandon's goals were to also qualify for nationals in the discus or shot-put, while also qualifying for our regional meet in the discus, hammer, and shot-put. Luis won the 2016 DIII 35lb. weight throw national championship and finished 3rd in the hammer throw during the same season. Brandon is Nazareth College's school record holder in the discus and indoor/outdoor shot-put. He was a 16m+ weight thrower, 50' shot-putter, and 44m discus thrower during the 2015-16 season. At Fredonia, Julia won the 2009 DIII 20lb. weight throw national championship. She was a 5x All-American in the weight throw and hammer throw. Her training program was much different than Luis', but similar to the program that Monique Hardy followed as a high school thrower that won the 2019 New Balance Indoor National Championship in the 20lb. weight throw. Monique is also ranked #2 all-time for high school female weight throwers with a personal best over 19m+. All of these athletes had similar goals (compete at nationals), but their training programs reflected those goals. In my humble coaching opinion, I would recommend an indoor thrower to train their main event (weight or shot-put) 2x-3x per week with their second event another 1-2x's per week. Again, this depends on the athlete's unique goals and what they want to accomplish. Luis didn't throw the shot-put in 2015-16, so our focus was primarily on the weight. Last outdoor season, Dylan trained the shot-put maybe 10x between March and May because his goal was to throw the discus and hammer at nationals. He finished the season with a personal best discus throw of 52m+, 54m+ in the hammer, and 14.50m in the shot-put. Training would be different during the outdoor season. I would suggest 2x-3x a week for a thrower's main event followed by 1x-2x for their second and third events, respectively. Dylan is coming back this season for a COVID 5th year with a focus on competing at nationals in the discus and hammer throw. Dylan currently trains the hammer 2x per week and the discus 2x per week with our first meet coming up in early April, 2023.

The conversation stemmed from a post an alum made in a Facebook alumni post about the college's facilities. It got our group in the chat going about how the recruitment process would be made easier if we had facilities that were upgraded and that would allow us (SUNY Fredonia) the chance to host meets again. Well, things got really exciting because there were two schools of thought. First, upgrading the indoor facilities would assist coaches in the recruiting process of student-athletes. A second camp thinks that upgrading our facility wouldn't make that much of a difference. I am in the latter. As difficult as it might be for me to say, I really don't believe that upgrading our indoor facility at SUNY Fredonia would make that much of a difference in attracting recruits who apply, are accepted, and eventually enroll. I don't believe it because I've seen it from both perspectives. I was an athlete and coach at SUNY Fredonia. The condition of the indoor facility back in the spring of 2000 when I first visited was good, but not great. The facility was built in 1983 and had not been upgraded at all. It wasn't upgraded in the 17 years between being built and when I arrived, and hasn't been upgraded in the past 18 years since I graduated. It made training easier because we didn't have to throw the weight/shot outside in the winter, but we did throw the weight outdoors in competition. During my time spent at Nazareth College, we didn't have an indoor fieldhouse. A new one has been recently built, but we'll get into that later. At Nazareth, we first began practicing in an auxiliary gym. We outgrew that gym in two years. We were then granted access to throw in a racquetball court. That was our home for five years. That racquetball court produced school record holders in the shot-put, weight, discus, and hammer for both the men's and women's programs. At Alfred State, we borrow space from Alfred University two days a week. No indoor fieldhouse at Alfred State. So, where do we go from here? In my humble opinion, there are many more factors that contribute to an athlete making a college selection besides the quality/existence of facilities for track and field. In no particular order, we have, a) intended major, b) financial aid/assistance, c) proximity to home, d) comfort level with current coaching staff, e) facilities, and f) recent team successes.

What a way to kick off Season 2 of “Timeout with Leaders” with Kenneth Rhee, Dean of the School of Business and Leadership at Nazareth College in Rochester. Well, his favorite movie is “Chariots of Fire”, he knows when it's the best time to go to the grocery store in Green Bay and he's a huge Apple fan. What we also learned about Kenneth is he's an amazing and progressive leader that puts a primary focus on leading by example. He said today we should change our focus to the inputs and process rather than just the desired output result.  He shared leaders of today need to be "self disruptive" in order to get comfortable with the changes necessary in today's business environment. Today leaders new to be honest, transparent and most importantly authentic to earn the trust of their people. Our people should feel safe to say what you NEED to hear not just what you want to hear.  Kenneth pumped us full of wisdom and experiences and educated us on how to start with ourselves if we want to change the universe.
