Podcast appearances and mentions of Simone Biles

Katie sits down with Jamie Anderson in New York City at the Team USA 100 Days Out Media Summit for a wide-ranging conversation ahead of the Winter Olympics. Jamie reflects on her journey as the most decorated snowboarder in Olympic history, what inspired her comeback after becoming a mom of two, and how watching the Paris Olympics and Simone Biles reignited something she thought might be done. She opens up about balancing motherhood and elite competition, traveling internationally with young kids, redefining identity after years at the top, and following what lights her heart on fire rather than chasing expectations. Calm, honest, and deeply reflective, this episode offers a different perspective on longevity, purpose, and doing sport on your own terms.-----Subscribe to the show on your favorite podcast platform, and follow us on social media (https://linktr.ee/unfilteredwaters) for clips, bonus content, and updates throughout the week.-----FOLLOW KATIE ON:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kthoff7/-----FOLLOW MISSY ON:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/missyfranklin88/-----SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSIM8health.com/discount/unfiltered for 10% offdreamrecovery.io use code UNFILTEREDTHIRTY for 30% off-----#UnfilteredWaters #SportsPodcast #JamieAnderson

A homeless man was begging strangers for money... When one young woman recognizes him as someone she used to watch on TV as a kid. Turns out he's former child star Tyler Chase, who starred on a hit Nickelodeon show. And how would you feel if you heard your child was put in a time out box at school. Well, a number of parents are outraged... After photos of a wooden box made for misbehaving students went viral. Plus, a man who had returned home from a cruise was going through vacation videos when he saw a familiar face. It wasn't a member of his family. It was Anna Kepner... The high school student who was found dead in her state room. And Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles is facing a bit of a backlash... All over her new puppy. The gymnast posted a photo with her NFL star husband holding their new Doberman. Animal lovers quickly noticed its ears had been cropped.

Michael Phelps BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Michael Phelps has been busy writing new footnotes to his legend, both in the boardroom and on Instagram, and the past few days show exactly why his name refuses to leave the headlines. Sports Business Journal's newly released Influence 125 package, highlighted via PR Newswire and SBJ, names Michael Phelps alongside Simone Biles and Allyson Felix as one combined entry on its list of the most influential figures in sports business over the past 25 years, cementing him not just as the greatest swimmer of all time but as a long-term power player in the business of sport. That editorial recognition carries real biographical weight, framing him as a multi-decade force whose influence now stretches from the pool deck to sponsorships, mental health advocacy, and media.On the lighter side, Pro Football Network reports that Phelps popped up in baseball news when he reacted on Instagram to star slugger Pete Alonso signing a five year, 155 million dollar deal with the Baltimore Orioles, his lifelong favorite team. The site notes that Phelps posted a shocked face and Lets gooooo to his story, a small social media moment, but one wrapped in nostalgia because his late father once worked security at the Orioles stadium and gave young Michael rare access to the ballpark. That emotional tie turns a simple fan reaction into another glimpse of Phelps as Baltimore's most decorated sports son still rooting hard from the stands.Good Morning America recently revisited his family life, recirculating and updating coverage of Phelps as a father of four boys with wife Nicole, spotlighting their youngest son Nico's first birthday party and the family's Paris Olympic trip, details that continue to shape the softer chapters of his public persona. There are also fresh side door mentions as outlets revisit his legacy around swimming stories, such as EssentiallySports invoking Phelps while covering former teammate Ryan Lochte's decision to sell some of his Olympic medals.So far, there are no credible reports in the last few days of a competitive comeback or major new business venture beyond the SBJ Influence 125 honor; any social media chatter suggesting a return to elite racing appears speculative and is not supported by verified reporting.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Michael Phelps BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.I am Biosnap AI, and over the past few days Michael Phelps has been in the news less as a racer in the pool and more as a power player reshaping the sport and his post‑Olympic image. EssentiallySports reports that his recent public outcry over athlete safety and leadership failures at USA Swimming after the illness‑marred World Aquatics Championships is already bearing fruit, with the federation installing new CEO Kevin Ring and openly signaling that Phelps is expected to play an active advisory role as LA 2028 looms. That is long term biographical material: the greatest swimmer of all time evolving into a quasi kingmaker and watchdog for the national program he once carried. Sports Business Journal's new Influence 125 list, announced via PR Newswire and highlighted in SBJ's Olympics coverage, further cements that narrative, grouping Phelps alongside Simone Biles and Allyson Felix as one of the most influential figures in sports business over the past quarter century, honored not just for medals but for how he has used his platform on mental health and athlete welfare. On the softer business and branding front, Triathlete recently noted a multi‑year partnership between Phelps and H2O Audio, tying his name to waterproof audio tech and reinforcing his status as a premium aquatic lifestyle brand rather than a retired ex‑pro. At the grassroots level, YourValley in Arizona reported that the city of Surprise secured a grant to host a swim program through the Michael Phelps Foundation, a reminder that his name is still moving city budgets and entry‑level swim access policy in 2025. In charitable circles his stature remains high, as March of Dimes coverage of its New York Sports Luncheon shows him grouped with marquee names like Jason Kelce and Katie Ledecky as headline honorees helping raise seven figures for maternal and infant health, even when the formal award went to others on the dais. On the pop culture side, AOL recently fixated on his bearded look and fan reactions during his appearance at the World Wide Technology Championship golf event in Cabo, while Sportskeeda amplified his social media presence by highlighting his reaction to Team USA hockey stars naming their all time favorites and resurfacing his comments on daily self improvement. There are no credible reports of major new controversies, only speculative social chatter about whether his deepening involvement with USA Swimming could one day formalize into an official leadership or Olympic organizing role, which remains unconfirmed.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Michael Phelps BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Michael Phelps has been relatively quiet over the past few days, with most recent activity centering around his continued involvement with collegiate sports rather than his own athletic pursuits. The legendary Olympic swimmer made headlines on November 27th when he celebrated Michigan's dominant victory over Gonzaga at the Players Era Festival, where the Wolverines defeated the Bulldogs 101 to 61. Phelps shared the victory on his Instagram story, commenting "Let's go blue" as Michigan secured an additional one million dollars in NIL compensation. The win marked Michigan's fourth consecutive twenty-plus point victory, with the team defeating Auburn by 40 and San Diego State by 30 in the days leading up to the Gonzaga matchup. Gonzaga suffered their first loss of the season in what turned out to be their most lopsided defeat since 1990.Beyond the basketball celebration, Phelps has maintained a lower profile recently. Earlier in December, there was a television special that aired focusing on his physical attributes and why his body is considered ideally suited for competitive swimming. The program explored his natural advantages as an elite athlete, examining the biological and anatomical factors that contributed to his unprecedented Olympic success.Phelps continues to be referenced in broader sports conversations. In a recent segment, track and field star Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone was asked to choose between competing against Phelps or Simone Biles in an Olympics hypothetical, highlighting how the swimmer remains a cultural touchstone for discussing athletic excellence even years after his retirement from competition.His presence also emerged in discussions about mental health awareness in sports. Phelps has previously spoken about relating to Simone Biles' experiences with mental health challenges, advocating for greater openness and destigmatization around these issues among elite athletes.Currently, Phelps appears to be focused on his roles as a commentator and supporter of American sports rather than pursuing competitive swimming. His recent activities suggest he remains deeply invested in Olympic sports culture and collegiate athletics, using his platform to celebrate excellence while occasionally offering perspective on athlete wellness issues. There have been no reports of major business ventures, significant public appearances, or substantial social media activity beyond the Michigan basketball celebration in the past several days.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

En esta edición de Radar Empresarial abordamos las crecientes especulaciones sobre una posible compra de Puma por parte de la compañía china Anta Sports. En numerosas ocasiones, son los rumores los que activan el movimiento en los mercados, y este en particular podría generar un importante cambio dentro del sector de la moda deportiva. De acuerdo con información publicada por Bloomberg, Anta —que en volumen de negocio se sitúa justo detrás de Adidas y Nike— habría iniciado contactos con un asesor financiero para estudiar la presentación de una propuesta formal de adquisición, lo que supondría un paso decisivo en su estrategia de expansión global. El mayor freno a esta potencial operación estaría en manos de los accionistas de referencia de Puma: la familia Pinault. Este grupo empresarial, propietario de firmas de lujo como Gucci o Yves Saint Laurent, controla cerca del 29% de las acciones de la compañía alemana, y según señala Bloomberg, su posición sería uno de los principales desafíos para que la negociación llegara a buen puerto. No obstante, no es la primera vez que surge la posibilidad de una venta. El pasado agosto, tras registrarse pérdidas cercanas a los 250 millones de dólares durante los primeros seis meses del año, el mismo medio apuntó que los Pinault podrían estar dispuestos a escuchar ofertas, entre ellas las de Anta Sports y la también china Li Ning. A pesar de que en aquel momento Puma había recortado previsiones por la presión de los aranceles, sus propietarios optaron por mantener la confianza en los resultados de los siguientes periodos. Sin embargo, los datos más recientes no han acompañado esas expectativas: en el tercer trimestre de 2025 la firma reportó un descenso del 10% en sus ventas. Este retroceso podría abrir una ventana de oportunidad para Anta, cuya notoriedad internacional se disparó tras los Juegos Olímpicos de Pekín 2008, evento que consolidó su presencia global y la situó como patrocinadora oficial del equipo olímpico chino, también en Londres 2012. Consciente de la importancia del impacto mediático, Anta Sports ha apostado por vincular su imagen a figuras deportivas de alto perfil. Aunque ya contaba con nombres como Manny Pacquiao o Simone Biles, fue en la NBA donde la marca encontró su mayor impulso. Kevin Garnett fue el primero en abandonar Adidas para firmar con la empresa china, seguido por Rajon Rondo y, posteriormente, por Klay Thompson, cuatro veces campeón con los Golden State Warriors, quien se convirtió en uno de sus embajadores más influyentes.

The Psychology of Leadership: Turn Stress into Peak Performance, with Sebastien Page,  a $500 billion fund manager How do top leaders and athletes use stress to boost performance instead of burning out?  Most high-achieving leaders believe they have to eliminate stress to perform their best—but sports psychology reveals the opposite is true.  The real problem isn't stress itself; it's operating too close to the edge without understanding your optimal performance zone, leading to burnout, lost creativity, and goal-induced blindness. In this episode of Impact with Ease, Blake talks with Sebastien Page, Chief Investment Officer at T.

In his new book, he reveals how figures as different as Frida Kahlo, Leonardo da Vinci, and Simone Biles all relied on the same pattern of thinking to adapt to radically changing circumstances.In his conversation with Adam Job, senior director at the BCG Henderson Institute, he discusses the difference between adaptability and resilience, and how to scale adaptability from one person to a team to an entire organization.Key topics discussed: 01:14 | The power of adaptive intelligence03:03 | Adaptability vs. resilience05:15 | The RUN loop: Recognize, understand, necessary action09:08 | How to help others become more adaptable11:57 | How to make your company more adaptable16:19 | Applying the loop logic to innovation23:56 | Real life stories of adaptability29:23 | Bringing adaptability to life with illustrationsAdditional inspirations from Max McKeown:The Strategy Book: How to Think and Act Strategically to Deliver Outstanding Results (FT Publishing International, 2024)

David and Victoria Beckham graduated from “Mr. and Mrs.” to “Sir and Lady” after the soccer legend was knighted for his service in sport and charity. It was a decade-long process – and apparently included some expletive-filled emails when he got passed over years ago. The family gathered to celebrate, but we couldn't help but notice one noticeably absent Beckham. Meanwhile, Simone Biles shared a “get unready with me” TikTok we didn't know we needed full of cultural confessions. Simone, if you're reading this: it would be our honor to show you how to use a dishwasher.  In this week's episode, we also discuss:  Caroline's crash out over the Jets trade of Sauce Gardner and Quinnen Williams Hellen Obiri breaking the NYC Marathon course record – and her parents adorable reaction Clayton Kershaw's dad bod on full display, plus whether Shohei Ohtani is secretly fluent in English  What we want out of the next Cardi B and Robert Kraft sighting Joe Burrow's Halloween costume that had us asking…why so serious?  Send Its:  Cardi B and Kraft are suite-side besties: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DQkokwUgEBU/?igsh=MThyaHZyY3F6bmNzbA==  Simone Biles' “get unready with me” confessions: https://www.tiktok.com/@simonebilesowens/video/7566672113323560222?lang=en  Chappell Roan at the National Horse Show: https://www.instagram.com/p/DQf0kTcDv_t/  Miley Stewart isn't Hannah Montana…Cam Dicker is: https://www.tiktok.com/@chargers/video/7567119748417195295?lang=en  Ms. Terry (aka Nick Saban's wife)  is all of us: https://www.instagram.com/p/DQnRrDjDrxA/  Blake's IG: @blaaakkkke Caroline's IG: @cghendy theSkimm's IG: @theskimm Want more sports?

Join Koj, TMT & Mayowa on Submarine and A Roach—Nigeria's funniest podcast and Nigeria's #1 comedy podcast—for Episode 234, “Meek & Horny.” It's a high-energy catch-up that zigzags from Lagos banter to Toronto life, politics, and pure nonsense—nimble like Simone Biles.The boys open with a chaotic drink check (green tea, Heineken 0.0, Lasena Water, and tales of expired zero-alcohol beer), plus a medicinal detour into Aboniki and why “stiff” needs context. From there, Koj's moving diaries turn into a love letter to rent-controlled Toronto apartments, outrageous building amenities, and plotting bike rides on waterfront paths.We get an Ibadan classic: the gardener caught doing thirst traps in the boss's pool—a WhatsApp-era parable told in Yoruba (“wé”) about boundaries, class, and comedy. Then it's culture and current affairs: royal family headlines, U.S. threats toward Nigeria, and why media framing around Boko Haram is messy—plus a reminder to value reporting over outrage cycles.Internet culture shows up too: OnlyFans as a business, a Pornhub developer on LinkedIn, and a stray alté pregnancy rumor that somehow invaded dreamland. The episode closes on fatherhood, friendship, apartment hunting, and the eternal tension between being—well, meek & horny.

Discover the remarkable journey of Simone Biles and the powerful lessons it offers on burnout and the importance of empathy in judging others. In this … The post 215 – Rising from Burnout – Simone Biles (rerun) appeared first on Anecdote.

Shohei Ohtani showed us why he's Him while the uncs of the NFL faced off in Thursday Night Football. Vintage Joe Flacco and Aaron Rodgers game to play, which left fans with a 2010s sense of whimsy.

Amy Boorman is a decorated and globally respected gymnastics coach, whose career included twelve years coaching the sport's all-time greatest, Simone Biles. She was named USA Gymnastics Coach of the Year four times and US Olympic Committee Coach of the Year in 2016. She was head coach of the US Women's Gymnastics Team at the Rio Olympic Games and coached for the Dutch Gymnastics Federation in 2021, including at the Tokyo Olympic Games.  Her book is titled: The Balance: My Years Coaching Simone Biles. Summary In this conversation, Aimee Boorman reflects on her evolution from a competitive gymnast to an elite coach, including her 12-year journey coaching Simone Biles. She talks about how her early experience with harsh, unsupportive coaching shaped her belief that great coaching starts with empathy, communication, and trust. Aimee focuses on coaching the whole person, not just the athlete, and explains how vulnerability, collaboration, and giving athletes room to fail safely build both performance and character. She describes how she nurtured Simone's extraordinary natural ability, what she calls “air sense savant,” while helping her develop emotional maturity and self-accountability. The discussion also explores the mental challenges elite athletes face, including the “twisties,” and why protecting mental health must come before medals. Aimee's approach shows that excellence is less about winning and more about integrity, growth, and joy in the process.   Takeaways ·        Great coaches lead with empathy and see athletes as whole people, not performance machines. ·        Trust grows through honest communication and vulnerability, which create psychological safety and resilience. ·        Allowing athletes to fail safely teaches self-awareness and accountability more effectively than control or punishment. ·        Real confidence comes from ownership—shifting from performing for approval to performing for yourself. ·        Success follows when the focus moves from outcomes such as scores or medals to inputs like effort, attitude, and preparation. ·        Pressure and anxiety block performance, while freedom and presence unlock it. ·        Mental health should always take priority over results because well-being sustains excellence. ·        The best coaches are remembered not just for producing champions but for helping young people grow into strong, self-directed adults.   Notes: Book: The Balance: My Years Coaching Simone Biles

Caitlin Clark remains on the Fever sideline and hasn't spoken to the media in a month, and Angel Reese became emotional when reflecting on what she learned about herself during her time away from the court. On this episode of “Fearless,” Jason Whitlock examines the mental health issues the WNBA is foisting on its star players, explaining that because sexual identity is such a priority in American culture, the hostility toward these straight players is purposeful. The WNBA, Whitlock illustrates, is not a sports league, but a political movement that would rather have Paige Bueckers, a lesbian, as its representative, than Caitlin Clark. Whitlock reviews other female athletes, including Simone Biles, Naomi Osaka, and Ronda Rousey, who were broken by the pressures of professional sports.
