  • ‘Stay humble and hungry’ is the walkout tune of my conversation with Alyssa Nakken, first ever female coach in the MLB.

We talk about how Alyssa is spearheading new initiatives for other riding female coaches; plus, how she deals with the pressures that come with being the first in big situations. Alyssa shares tactical advice for flourishing in the chaos and the importance of her support system throughout the season and beyond.

  • We are back with season 17 and almost 300 episodes of Hurdle! Kicking off this season is Lindsey Horan, captain of the U.S. women’s national soccer team. She shares her insane story as the first American player to sign a professional contract straight out of high school and travel overseas to play for France. We dive into her early days as a professional athlete, her experience with body shaming and feelings of body acceptance, the moment she got the call to be on the U.S. soccer team, and so much more.

  • Look up the word "goat" in the dictionary, and you'll see a photo of Joan Benoit Samuelson. OK, maybe not really — but Joan's the first woman to ever with the Olympic Marathon in its inaugural year for women in 1984. We had the opportunity to sit down in Orlando this year during the Olympic Trials, and this was definitely a pinch-me moment.

    With a plethora of wise takeaways, we chat through so many things in this week's episode: Nike’s Project Dreamweaver, navigating injury and longevity, how she balanced the sport with growing her family, and her opinion on how the culture of the sport has changed.

    What is was like to be one of the first women in this sport chasing big olympic dreams (10:01)

    Why Joan denotes the 1984 Olympic trials as ‘the race of her life’ (15:30)

    How Joan frames her mindset when faced with things outside of her control (17:45)

    Joan’s advice to anyone navigating injury (21:00)

    A reflection of the 1984 Olympic games (22:01)

    How Joan prioritizes sport with personal life and sharing her joy for running with her family (27:35)

    What keeps Joan running after all of this time (32:40)

    How her experience and role has evolved through the years as a Nike athlete (38:05)

    What’s in Joan’s daily wellness routine (42:50)
