Their perspectives focus on progress and obstacles in the racially diverse USA and giving an overview of the 'super continent' of our planet: Africa. Gabarone Botswana is the 2018 site of the next meeting of the global women's sport advocacy community at the World Congress of the International Working Group of Women in Sport.

  • Coaching Empowerment: Going global

    Coaching Empowerment: Going global
    2016/08/23
    A famous USA men's coach is quoted as responding to a question about sport psychology on his team by pointing at his flexed bicep muscle and saying 'this is the only sport psychology I need'. It has taken a long time for coaches, and indeed the world, to overcome such negative biases and embrace the realization that psychological factors are crucially important to both performance and enhanced quality of life. Our guests today are recognized experts in the preparation of coaches to contribute to participant welfare across all age and skill categories.

  • How the Media Sees, Re-Creates Us

    How the Media Sees, Re-Creates Us
    2016/08/02
    Multi national research has shown repeatedly that women's sport receives somewhere between 2 and 10 percent of media's attention span. The figures vary marginally when considering print compared to electronic media: what major sport events are taking 'center stage' and the like. What little coverage there is undoubtedly influences public perceptions regarding women in sport-physical activity engagement. Our guests on this program are renowned experts on the status, past and future concerning media and women's sport in the USA and globally. They will address what might be done to improve the media attention status.

    This show is real time captioned, Click the banner above to get the captions live! In all the 'Long Road Up' programs, guests have always spoken of the importance of accessibility and participation of ALL girls and women. Our guests today are leaders among that segment of girls and women often overlooked and underserved; the differently-abled. Two of our guests, Dr. Becky Clark and Tiffany Williams are multi-medalists in Deafympics and other international championships for the Deaf. Dr. Andrea Woodson-Smith likewise a gold medalist; in ParaPan Games and multi-year champion in international wheelchair basketball competition. These women were barely getting going with their outstanding athleticism and have 'set the disabled sport world afire' as coaches, international consultants, and in advocacy and leadership roles after leaving the most intense aspects of their athletic careers. We will hear their amazing and inspiring stories and feel their irrepressible spirit in our program.

    Breaking barriers: Motors, Tracks and Stereotypes
    2016/07/19
    Many, indeed all, guests on this Series have braved the step into virtually 'all male' domains. I am not sure there could be any more daunting than 'the garage' at the Indianapolis 500 Motor Speedway. As recounted in her book Lyn St James: An Incredible Journey Lyn describes how she first had to don her driving suit in the public Ladies Restroom at Indy. She says she had only one rule 'no signing autographs in there'. Lyn went on to qualify for the 500 seven times; once qualifying with a four lap speed above 225 MPH. Our guest today made Indy 500, Le Mans, Watkins Glen, the White House (among scores of other iconic locations) HER TERRITORY. Welcome Lyn St James to The Long Road Up.

    Kinesiology to the rescue esp for disadvantaged females
    2016/07/12
    Girls and women in sport have been shown to receive lower levels of community and media support and attention compared to their brothers even in communities already disadvantaged. With females particularly at-risk of being left behind, there is a 'rescue' source in many communities being ignored; Kinesiology Departments in local colleges. Kinesiology, and particularly sport psychology professionals, have a unique set of skills and knowledge to contribute to youth development at individual and community levels. Dr. Leeja Carter, Long Island University, has created a multi-pronged development engine advancing girls and women's health, sport and empowerment in the region. This program showcases Dr. Carter and two other outstanding leaders in the Performance Excellence in Applied Kinesiology (PEAK)) Program at LIU: Poet and advocate Samiyra Osbourne Olympian, WSF President Angela Hucles
