      Black gymnasts have made significant contributions to the sport despite facing discrimination and adversity. Sid Oglesby, the first African American to win an NCAA title in 1964, started training after being challenged by his brother. Oglesby was also an activist, advocating for his university to stop competing against racially segregated schools. Wendy Hillyard, who represented the US in international competition for a record 9 years in the 1980s, faced discrimination when she was denied a spot on the US team due to her race. Despite these challenges, both gymnasts persevered and left lasting impacts on the sport. Their stories serve as reminders of the importance of determination, resilience, and standing up for what is right.

      Determination and perseverance can lead to great achievements. The story of a young gymnast who persisted in joining the team despite numerous rejections, using both phone calls and faxes, serves as a reminder of the importance of not giving up. Furthermore, the discussion highlighted the impressive accomplishments of various gymnasts, including the first black American to win an individual Olympic medal in women's gymnastics, Dominique Dawes, and the first African American individual all-around champion, Gabby Douglas. These women's achievements in gymnastics not only brought them recognition and success but also broke barriers and paved the way for future generations. The anecdotes shared also showcased the unique experiences and rewards that come with dedication and hard work, such as being in a Prince music video or having one's face on a box of cornflakes. Overall, the conversation emphasized the importance of staying committed to one's goals and the incredible feats that can be accomplished through perseverance and determination.

    EP 413: Green Beret Nick Lavery - The Warrior's Warrior Makes a Stand
    Nick Lavery is an active duty member of The United States Army Special Forces, known as Green Berets. In 2013, on his 2nd combat rotation to Afghanistan, his detachment fell victim to an insider attack, resulting in the loss of his leg. Refusing a military medical retirement, he set his sights on returning to operational status and after a challenging and comprehensive assessment designed to evaluate Nick's abilities to operate, he returned and was deployed to Afghanistan to conduct full combat operations. Considered the first Green Beret to return to combat as an above-the-knee amputee, we cover his amazing story and discuss his book 'Objective Secure: The Battle-Tested Guide to Goal Achievement'.
