The four top college women's basketball teams will face off in Minneapolis this weekend in the NCAA Women's Final Four tournament. Last year, the NCAA came under fire for gender disparities in how its men's and women's tournaments were run. In response, the NCAA commissioned a report on its gender inequities. The report, released in August 2021, found that the NCAA has prioritized men's basketball over women's teams, and outlined a number of suggestions to address the disparities. This year is the first time that the Women's Final Four is branded as March Madness alongside the men's tournament. And basketball fans and athletes hope to see increased resources, branding and attention for the women's tournament this weekend. MPR News host Angela Davis on Friday talked with a coach for the University of Minnesota's women's basketball team and an expert on women in sports about the Final Four Tournament and gender disparities. Guests: Nicole LaVoi is the director of the Tucker Center for Research on Girls and Women in Sport at the University of Minnesota. Carly Thibault-DuDonis is the associate head coach for the University of Minnesota's women's basketball team

On this week's episode, Nicole talks to some #disruptHERS colleagues — Drs. Katie Lebel, Nancy Lough, and Ann Pegoraro — about recent disruptions in women's sport, which continue to make headlines. They begin with the recent situation surrounding Chinese tennis player Peng Shuai, 35, a three-time Olympian, who has been missing since November 2, when she used social media to accuse Zhang Gaoli, 75, a former vice premier of China, of sexually assaulting her at his home three years ago. The IOC President Thomas Bach held a video call with Peng, which was unconvincing to experts. The many reported incidents of abuse and harassment by coaches in the National Women's Soccer League is also discussed.

Top-ranked tennis player Naomi Osaka's decision to pull out of the French Open after being fined for saying she would not appear at mandatory press conferences is bringing renewed attention to the mental health struggles of athletes. The 23-year-old champion shared publicly that she has experienced depression and anxiety since 2018 when she won her first of four consecutive Grand Slam singles titles at the U.S. Open. She shared that she feels “waves of anxiety” before press conferences. Osaka's bold step prompted debates on social media and elsewhere about expectations placed on athletes, especially women and athletes of color. Her decision also raises questions about whether and when talking to the press should be seen as an essential part of an athlete's job. Host Angela Davis talks to a journalist, a sports psychologist and a former collegiate tennis coach about pressures faced by athletes and how to better support their mental health. Guests: Myron Medcalf is a Sunday metro columnist for the Star Tribune and a senior college basketball reporter and radio host with ESPN.

She also played college tennis and coached tennis. Ashley Zapata is a sports psychologist at Premier Sport Psychology in Edina, Minn. and works with both college and professional athletes.
Trustees and Presidents- Opportunities and Challenges In Intercollegiate Athletics
Take a look at pictures of the coaches in your athletics program. How many men do you see? How many women? How many people of color? Have you ever asked your athletics director how he/she works to make the staffs more reflective of the athletes in the program?

Nicole is the Director of the Tucker Center for Research on Girls & Women in Sport and a Senior Lecturer in the School of Kinesiology at the University of Minnesota, and, in a previous life, a head women’s tennis coach and a member of a Division III NCAA Tennis team championship. She earned both her master’s and PhD from Minnesota, so that makes her a “double Gopher”. Nicole also serves on the Board of Directors for WeCOACH, espnW (college committee), and the Sports Advisory Network for the Women’s Sport Foundation. Her seminal research includes the annual Women in College Coaching Report Card™ which is aimed at retaining and increasing the number of women in the coaching profession. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/karen-weaver/message

I learn so much from them and it energizes my work, and I am grateful we all have had this opportunity for a virtual internship.

Jane Wallace could be described as an all-round horsewoman with experience and success ranging from show ponies in the 60’s to winning the silver medal at the European Championships. She credits the foundation she gained in the show pony world as the basis of her success as a rider, learning balance and an independent seat, which also stood her in good stead while racing points to points which she won both as a rider and trainer. It was 1982 when she turned to eventing and won Windsor three-day event. A top ten place at Badminton a couple of years later put her on the long-list for the World Championships in Australia. In 1986 she rode on the British Team in Poland and was selected for the European Championships the following year. She holds the record for winning Bramham three day event with the same horse on two consecutive years. In 1988 she was reserve rider for the Seoul Olympic Games and won the prestigious Burghley Three Day Event. The following year she was top lady rider at Chantilly three day event, won the individual silver medal at the European Championships and was ranked 3rd lady event rider in the world. Jane was a highly regarded hunter judge, officiating at most major shows including the Horse of the Year Show and was a level four dressage judge. Nowadays she is content with hacking out, swimming and walking the dogs with husband Malcolm.

The goal of The Win Your Life Podcast is to illuminate the intersection between prevention and performance. The fitness industry is focused on performance and not always concerned with prevention. On the other hand, our health care system is focused, by necessity, on combatting the overwhelming amount of disease, illness and injury in our society. At the intersection of prevention and performance, there is a group of coaches, medical professionals, business leaders, athletes, and thought leaders that are working to help you Win Your Life. In this series, we are addressing the idea of 'Universal Prescriptions', the notion that there is a best way for us all to exercise, eat, sleep, breath and live. In this episode, Catalyst Athletics Athlete & TPHMN Performance Coach Caitlin Schad tells her story of making the Catalyst Team and tells us how her breathing and meditation practice has helped her in her sport. Caitlin explains why her approach to training, breathwork and meditation is not a one-size-fits all approach and how this has influenced her coaching.

In this episode Tucker Center director Dr. Nicole LaVoi talks to the founder and first director of the Tucker Center, Dr. Mary Jo Kane who explains the original story of the Tucker Center. They also discusses her seminal piece of research known as the "sport as continuum" paper. If you want to brush up, read the original 1995 paper (and you should because it's a good one) or the 2017 reflection piece that she wrote on the impact of her sport continuum theory. We also hear how the sport continuum theory may be applied to the current topic of, and debate surrounding, inclusion of transgender athletes. You can read Dr. Austin Stair Calhoun's, TC affiliated scholar, 2017 OpEd on her perspective on the complexities on applying and revisiting the sport as continuum theory.

The US Women's Soccer Team thrilled the world with their prowess on the field and leadership off of it. Their championship demonstrates the important impact of Title IX in funding and support for women athletics in schools and universities. Beyond soccer, women routinely eclipse male runners during marathons and other sports, pointing to a continuum of physical performance. The ambiguity of gender—as reflected in world class-athletes such as Caster Semenya—led the International Olympic Committee to adopt tests of testosterone levels and college athletic conferences to respond to intersex and trans-athletes. The physical ability and performances of women athletes are blurring historic and gendered divisions between men's and women's sports. Professor Mary Jo Kane will discuss the evolving state of women's sport with Dr. Jamie Feldman, an expert in transgender medicine. Mary Jo Kane is the director emerita of the Tucker Center for Research on Girls and Women in Sport and a Professor in the School of Kinesiology at the University of Minnesota. She is widely published on media coverage and women's sport and is a recognized expert on the impact of Title IX. Jamie Feldman, MD, PhD, is faculty in the University of Minnesota's Program in Human Sexuality. She has chaired a Transgender Medicine and Research Committee and published on transgender hormone therapy and primary care.

She shared the mind-boggling statistic that, while the passage of Title IX in 1972 led to an explosion in opportunities for female athletes, the percentage of women coaching women’s teams went from 90% back then to only around 42% today, and that statistic has remained stagnant for the past decade. If you haven’t listened to that episode yet, we highly recommend it as a warm-up to this next installment featuring renowned hockey coach Shannon Miller.Miller’s long list of accomplishments include being the first female head coach for Team Canada and Canada’s first-ever female Olympic Head Coach; her team took silver in the 1998 Winter Olympic Games. She served as head coach for the University of Minnesota, Duluth’s women’s hockey team for 15 years, winning five NCAA championships. After the 2014-15 season, UMD chose not to renew Miller’s contract, citing budget concerns. Miller, along with former UMD softball coach Jen Banford and former women’s basketball coach Annette Wiles, filed a federal lawsuit against the university, alleging discrimination and Title IX violations. In March of 2018 Miller won that case and was awarded $3.74 million in damages. We spoke with her shortly after that verdict for this episode; in our next installment, we follow up a year later, getting an update on her legal battle, which is far from over.In this first conversation, Miller talks about the challenges she’s faced being a trailblazing female coach who has always been openly gay, and what motivates her to keep fighting for progress for women in athletics.
Nicole LaVoi, Co-Director of The Tucker Center for Research on Girls & Women in Sport at the University of Minnesota and Cheryl Cooky, Associate Professor of American Studies at Purdue University, join hosts Nick Ashburn and Sherryl Kuhlman to discuss takeaways from the Women's World Cup, pay gaps, and gender inequality in sports.

Since the passage of Title IX, more women and girls have taken up sports of all kinds. But paradoxically, there are actually FEWER female coaches at the at the college level than before Title IX. Dr. Nicole LaVoi from the University of Minnesota’s Tucker Center for Research on Girls & Women in Sport has dug into this complex issue, and compiles an annual report card on Women in College Coaching. She also studies how female athletes are portrayed in the media compared to their male counterparts. Assistant Women’s Soccer Coach of the University of St. Thomas Julie Lundquist also joined us to offer first hand perspectives. Editors Note: We had difficulty with the audio feed, so it sounds a bit washed out at times.

After getting an athlete’s perspective in our last episode of Feminists Ruin Everything, we continue our series on Womxn in Athletics with a conversation with a researcher who studies the subject. Dr. Nicole M. Lavoi has been an athlete and a coach and is now the Director of the Tucker Center for Research on Girls & Women in Sport at the University of Minnesota. She shared some surprising statistics with us about how, although women’s participation in sports has exploded since Title IX was enacted, the number of female coaches has drastically declined. We talked about why that might be and what’s being done to change the situation.

Dr. Lisa Ingarfield is joined by Dr. Mary Jo Kane who heads up the Tucker Center for Research on Girls and Women in Sport based at the University of Minnesota.
