Jeff Darlington joins to share his experiences covering Wimbledon before diving into Mike McDaniel and the Dolphins breakup. They break down why McDaniel opted to become the Chargers' offensive coordinator instead of taking a head coaching job with a struggling team, giving him a chance to reset and potentially land a better opportunity later.

Avem un invitat care știe exact ce înseamnă să pierzi trei finale la Wimbledon (2010, 2011, 2012) și, în loc să renunți, să te transformi până când, în 2015, trofeul ajunge în mâinile tale. Horia Tecău vine la Vorbitorincii să ne spună de ce „tenisul îți arată adevărul direct" și cum te scuturi de neîncredere atunci când miza e uriașă. Am povestit despre proiectul său, Mind Set Match, prin care Horia îi învață pe copii (și pe noi toți) cum să gestioneze emoțiile, despre echilibrul interior, am depănat amintiri din antrenamentele anilor '90 și am aflat cum e să joci „scenete" la Monaco alături de un Nole Djokovic, care e pur și simplu bun la tot ce își propune. 00:01:48 Începem relaxat, cu bunătăți de la Oradea, baclavale și șuberek de la Mangalia și fotbal (Arsenal, Lazio, Real), povestim ce-am mai făcut de la ultima noastră filmare împreună, impresii de la Gala Internațională de Balet „Balanchine's Legacy" și de la spectacolul 5+3=9 de la Teatrul Grivița 53 00:28:25 Îngrijorări sănătoase despre… telefoane și timpul petrecut folosind aceste dispozitive. Ce-ați zice să facem, fiecare, un fel de digital detox? 00:40:49 Cât de simplu e la dublu. Cu Horia Tecău 02:25:03 Spuma filelor vine cu cărți bune: Toate numele Felizei de Juan Gabriel Vásquez, Istoria orbilor de Alina și Șerban-Liviu Pavelescu, Diego Maradona.

Buna noastră prietenă Diana Popescu ne aduce noutățile culturale, iar Cătălin ne trimite direct în fața ecranului pentru „Romeo și Julieta" – un spectacol online pe care îl găsiți pe PiciordePlay (da, un fel de Netflix, dar cu teatru bun!).

Voor dubbelspecialist Sem Verbeek was 2025 een bijzonder jaar. In het mannendubbel won hij vier titels, waaronder het ATP-500 toernooi in München, maar het absolute hoogtepunt kan maar één ding zijn: de Wimbledon titel in het gemengd dubbel met Kateřina Siniaková. Het laatstgenoemde feit bracht hem nog iets moois. Eind januari werd hij namelijk in zijn Amsterdam verkozen tot Sportman van het Jaar. Een unieke prestatie, want hij is de eerste tennisser ooit die deze Fanny mee naar huis mocht nemen. Althans, zijn vader mocht hem mee naar huis nemen, want zelf was Sem natuurlijk op de Australian Open. We spraken met Sem over zijn uitverkiezing in Amsterdam en over het dubbelen in Rotterdam.

Boris Becker is a former German tennis player, coach, and writer, regarded as one of the most charismatic legends of modern tennis. In 1985, at just 17 years old, he made history by becoming the youngest Wimbledon champion, a victory that propelled him to worldwide fame. Throughout his career, he won six Grand Slam titles, a Davis Cup, and an Olympic medal, standing out for his aggressive playing style, powerful volley, and unbreakable competitive spirit.   After retiring, Becker has remained closely connected to tennis as a coach—most notably guiding Novak Djokovic during one of the most successful periods of his career—and as a sports commentator. He has also explored a more personal and reflective side as the author of The Player, an autobiography in which he recounts his meteoric rise, his triumphs, his setbacks, and the lessons learned both on and off the court.  

Behind every high-performance environment are people, personalities, and decisions that shape outcomes. This week on the Science for Sport Podcast, Richard Graves is joined by former England international and Premier League defender Warren Barton, speaking from California. Warren reflects on a career that spanned very different eras of elite football, from coming through non-league and the famously demanding culture of Wimbledon's “Crazy Gang”, to becoming a record signing at Newcastle United during the Entertainers era. Across the conversation, Warren offers a rare, first-hand perspective on the psychology of professional sport: rejection, resilience, team identity, leadership, and how elite environments shape behaviour. The discussion also moves into modern high-performance sport, exploring how man-management, culture, and trust still sit alongside data, technology, and sports science. Warren shares thoughtful insights on coaching, communication, player wellbeing, and why asking an athlete how they feel still matters just as much as what the numbers say. A wide-ranging, honest conversation that will resonate with practitioners working in elite sport, as well as those interested in the human side of performance. In this episode you will learn How early rejection and non-academy pathways can shape resilience and long-term success Why strong team culture and shared identity can create psychological advantages over more talented opponents Lessons from Wimbledon's “Crazy Gang” environment and what modern teams can still learn from it How elite managers like Kevin Keegan, Kenny Dalglish, and Sir Bobby Robson differed in leadership and man-management Why man-management remains central to performance, even in data-rich environments How elite players and coaches balanced intuition, experience, and emerging sports science practices The importance of trust, togetherness, and players “having each other's backs” in high-pressure environments Where modern football may be losing connection with basic human communication Warren's perspective on technology, VAR, and how decision-making affects the athlete and fan experience How coaches can better integrate data with athlete feedback and lived experience About Warren Barton Warren Barton is a former England international footballer who played at the highest level of English football during the 1990s. His career included spells at Wimbledon and Newcastle United, where he became part of Kevin Keegan's iconic “Entertainers” side and captained the club during one of its most influential Premier League eras. Since retiring from playing, Warren has built a career in broadcasting and coaching, working extensively in the United States as a football analyst and pundit, including coverage of major international tournaments. He holds his UEFA Pro Licence and continues to work across elite football, combining practical experience with a deep understanding of performance, psychology, and leadership.

Wimbledon, ein sonniger Tag oberhalb des berühmtesten Tennisrasens der Welt. Abseits von Centre Court und Tribünen liegt Wimbledon Village. Grün, weitläufig, fast ländlich. Herrenhäuser aus dem 19. Jahrhundert, offene Commons, Reitwege, kleine Seen. Ein Ort, den viele übersehen und der doch zu den schönsten Ecken Londons gehört. In dieser Folge BRITPOD – England at its best erkundet Alexander-Klaus Stecher gemeinsam mit dem britischen Komponisten Richard Blackford Wimbledon Village. Blackford ist an diesem Tag Stadtführer und zugleich Protagonist eines musikalischen Höhepunkts am Abend. Ein Spaziergang durch Geschichte, Architektur und Alltagsleben, vorbei an Buchläden in Familienbesitz, traditionsreichen Pubs und der berühmten Reitschule mitten im Ort. Wimbledon Village erzählt von England jenseits der Metropole. Von Weite mitten in der Stadt, von Lebensqualität, die sich nicht aufdrängt. Hier treffen sich seit Jahrhunderten Sport, Kultur und Natur. Dichter wie Robert Graves wurden hier geboren, Musiker finden Inspiration, und selbst das Reiten durch die Straßen gehört zum gewohnten Bild. Der Tag führt weiter zur Musik. Im Rahmen des Wimbledon International Music Festival erlebt ein neues Werk von Richard Blackford seine Uraufführung. Ein Streichquartett, inspiriert von einem ukrainischen Volkslied, interpretiert vom renommierten Sacconi Quartet. Ein stiller, intensiver Moment, der zeigt, wie sehr Orte, Menschen und Kunst miteinander verbunden sind. Zwischen Spaziergang, Pubbesuch und Konzert entsteht ein Porträt eines Viertels, das Geschichte bewahrt und zugleich lebendig bleibt. Wimbledon Village als Ort der Ruhe, der Kreativität und der Begegnung. Was macht Wimbledon Village so besonders im Schatten des großen Tennisturniers? Wie lebt es sich an einem Ort, der Natur, Kultur und Stadt vereint? Und warum entstehen gerade hier ganz besondere Musik, Gespräche und Geschichten? BRITPOD – England at its best.

Ander Iturralde da la bienvenida a Leonardo Silva, Hugo Sancha y Chris Lence para analizar toda la acción del fin de semana en la Premier League...Comenzando por el apoteósico triunfo del Manchester United sobre el Arsenal; continuando por la no menos sensacional victoria del Bournemouth de Andoni Iraola sobre el preocupante Liverpool; antes de llegar a otra victoria más del súper West Ham de Paco Jémez asistente sobre un Sunderland sin Granit Xhaka; mientras que el Aston Villa asaltó el castillo en Newcastle para llevarse una victoria capital; como la que también, aunque menos impresionante, sumó el Manchester City sobre el Wolverhampton; no así un Tottenham que de su visita a Burnley simplemente pudo rescatar un heroico pero no convincente empate; algo que no pudo lograr retener el Brighton ante un Fulham ahora alzado hasta el séptimo lugar de la clasificación; en la que sigue muy abajo pero ahora con tres puntos más el Nottingham Forest tras derrotar al Brentford en su casa; mientras que ni en casa ni en ningún lado el Crystal Palace puede anteponerse ante su dramático bajón de rendimiento y del cual vino a aprovecharse con una victoria el Chelsea de Liam Rosenior; antes de hacer nuestro repaso de rigor que no riguroso a Championship, al resultado del Wimbledon, a cómo el Wrexham sigue escalando puesto a puesto en la pirámide del fútbol; escándalos en Perú; Per Mertesacker fuera como director de la academia del Arsenal y mucho más.Escucha este episodio sin censura y con escena pre y post-créditos, apoya que Alineación Indebida pueda prosperar, accede a todo nuestro contenido premium y a nuestro server de Discord suscribiéndote por tan sólo 1.00$/1.00€ en: https://www.patreon.com/posts/149131487Además...

For the second season running, Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner shared all four Grand Slam titles between them in 2025.Three of the four Slam finals – the French Open, Wimbledon and the US Open – were contested by the top two in men's tennis, with the Australian Open, in which Sinner beat Alexander Zverev in the final, the sole exception.It is 10-11 that the great rivals meet in a fourth successive Slam decider in Melbourne this month, a feat last completed by Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal at the 2012 French Open, and the concern for those looking to oppose the top two is that there appears to be a genuine lack of emerging talent.Two-time defending champion Sinner is seeking to complete a hat-trick at Melbourne Park and the Italian looks less likely to slip-up than Alcaraz, who, at 22, will become the youngest man to complete the career Grand Slam should he win the singles title.However, the Spaniard has yet to go beyond the quarter-final stage on four previous trips down under and his decision to split with long-time coach Juan Carlos Ferrero, who had been alongside him for 15 years and for all six of his Grand Slam title triumphs, seems untimely and could lead to a lack of focus.

We trace the unlikely arc that carried poolside pandemic brainstorms into London Calling, a high-velocity variety show that's genuinely all-ages without sanding off its edge.As the Pandemic hit Las Vegas Paul Dabek and Captain Frodo dreamt by the pool of acts, podcast, and shows. As it turned out these dreams all came to fruition.We get specific about how the show grew: a clear adult-facing voice, visuals that enchant kids on contact, and design that marries LED world-building with just a few tactile anchors—a lamppost here, an oak bar to sell entire neighborhoods of London. We talk quiet-loud pacing, compress-then-expand staging, and the power of a loose narrative frame (train rides, stations, quick jumps) that keeps momentum without burying acts in exposition. Think Covent Garden street magic flowing into Wimbledon athleticism, all while the ensemble's micro-moments—prop handoffs, shared looks, quick riffs—telegraph trust.Paul Dabeck opens the hood on the growth curve: from small houses and street pitches to winning pick of the fringe and selling five-figure ticket totals. He shares the marketing pivots that worked, why “family-friendly” is a tone not a label, and how sweat equity turned Facebook Marketplace parts into automated scenic that looks West End-ready. We also dive into his Vegas warehouse: a black box, workshop, and filming space evolving into Make It Rain, a community hub for artists to prototype, connect, and protect their mental health. It's church-without-religion, where the faith is craft and the sermon is showing up.If you care about showmaking—stagecraft, culture, and the long game of compounding relationships—this one's a blueprint. We leave you with blunt takeaways: risk with purpose, design worlds with one tactile anchor, market like a story, film your late refinements, build a culture of generosity, and ship version one before you feel ready. Subscribe, share with a friend who builds in public, and drop us a note about the project you're making right now.

In "Serving Aces" Alexandra Stevenson and Hugues Laverdiere talk diamonds and fashion including winners and losers.  Donna Vekic' diamond company gave each woman in the main draw a diamond bracelet.  Venus Williams was up 4-0 in the third - but somehow collapsed in technique and serve - and lost.  The Open had a record breaking crowd of 73,000 on the first day, with many of the fans rushing to see Alex Eala the young Filipino, who has become a breakout star on the WTA Tour with the amount of fans anxious to see her play.  From Hong Kong to Melbourne they are driven by Ella's tenacity.  She has given her country a lot to cheer.  The Aussies brought out Federer and Agassi to play Rafter and Hewitt in a pre first round doubles exhibition.  The retired Ash Barty came out to relieve a rather winded Agassi.Djokovic Alcaraz easily through as were Pegula, Gauff, Swiatek, Andrea.  Wimbledon champion Vondrousova had to withdraw because of a shoulder injury and Felix Auger Aliassime retired to cramping.  Ball is in Ougi's court talks about why the first round is so important and difficult to get through - as Alexandra attests to her play early in her career.  Podcast quote goes to Mark Twain and Heisman Trophy winner Fernando Mendoza, the Indiana University quarterback.

Think back to the story of Peter Pan, and more specifically the character of Wendy Darling, Peter's friend who accompanies him to Neverland. She's the eldest and most mature of the Darling siblings, and acts as a mother figure to Peter too. You could definitely describe her as caring, nurturing, responsible and self-sacrificing. Well those may sound like totally positive characteristics, but there is a flipside too. There are a lot of caring, nurturing people out there who just constantly need to satisfy others and tend to neglect themselves as a consequence. Who coined the term “Wendy Syndrome” to describe such people ? Is it a natural inclination? Is it similar to emotional labor ? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

This week Erik and Aidan discuss the most controversial player in tennis, Nick Kyrgios. Known for his antics on and off the court, Kyrgios burst onto the scene around 2015 displaying incredible talent and taking out top opponents in big matches. However, talent can only take you so far, and Kyrgios has displayed huge amounts of inconsistency over the course of his career. He has played at tennis' biggest stage, the Wimbledon final, but has never truly been a next-level player, peaking at a ranking just outside the top 10. With all the talent in the world, Kyrgios may truly be the biggest what-if in tennis history.

From her start playing paddle tennis on the streets of Harlem as a young teenager to her eleven Grand Slam tennis wins to her professional golf career, Althea Gibson became the most famous black sportswoman of the mid-twentieth century. In her unprecedented athletic career, she was the first African American to win titles at the French Open, Wimbledon, and the US Open. In this comprehensive biography, Ashley Brown narrates the public career and private struggles of Althea Gibson (1927-2003). Based on extensive archival work and oral histories, Serving Herself: The Life and Times of Althea Gibson (Oxford UP, 2023) sets Gibson's life and choices against the backdrop of the Great Migration, Jim Crow racism, the integration of American sports, the civil rights movement, the Cold War, and second wave feminism. Throughout her life Gibson continuously negotiated the expectations of her supporters and adversaries, including her patrons in the black-led American Tennis Association, the white-led United States Lawn Tennis Association, and the media, particularly the Black press and community's expectations that she selflessly serve as a representative of her race.  An incredibly talented, ultra-competitive, and not always likeable athlete, Gibson wanted to be treated as an individual first and foremost, not as a member of a specific race or gender. She was reluctant to speak openly about the indignities and prejudices she navigated as an African American woman, though she faced numerous institutional and societal barriers in achieving her goals. She frequently bucked conventional norms of femininity and put her career ahead of romantic relationships, making her personal life the subject of constant scrutiny and rumors. Despite her major wins and international recognition, including a ticker tape parade in New York City and the covers of Sports Illustrated and Time, Gibson endeavored to find commercial sponsorship and permanent economic stability. Committed to self-sufficiency, she pivoted from the elite amateur tennis circuit to State Department-sponsored goodwill tours, attempts to find success as a singer and Hollywood actress, the professional golf circuit, a tour with the Harlem Globetrotters and her own professional tennis tour, coaching, teaching children at tennis clinics, and a stint as New Jersey Athletics Commissioner. As she struggled to support herself in old age, she was left with disappointment, recounting her past achievements decades before female tennis players were able to garner substantial earnings. A compelling life and times portrait, Serving Herself offers a revealing look at the rise and fall of a fiercely independent trailblazer who satisfied her own needs and simultaneously set a pathbreaking course for Black athletes.

If you've been feeling like women's fitness over 40 is a nonstop back-and-forth debate - like you're courtside at Wimbledon watching the ball whip from one hot take to another - you're not imagining it. Social media is loud right now, especially when it comes to what women should or shouldn't be doing in midlife. That noise can make it hard to trust your instincts or know what actually matters for building strength and aging athletically. In this episode, I'm joined by strength for hypermobility & nutrition coach Nikki Naab-Levy. Together, we unpack the most confusing fitness narratives floating around right now and give you context that brings you back to center court so you feel confident, grounded, and clear on what works. What you'll learn in this episode: What if "feeling the right muscle" isn't the best way to judge your lift? Are you training for strength… or just training to get tired? Do rest periods actually matter, or is that all overblown? If hypertrophy works across a huge rep range, how do you choose what you should do? What happens when aesthetic fears collide with long-term strength and aging well?
