Champion Women in Sports with Nancy Hogshead-Makar

On today's episode of the Dynamic Leaders Podcast, Colin is joined by Nancy Hogshead-Makar. Nancy is the CEO of Champion Women, which supports the legal advocacy for girls and women in sports. Nancy is also a former competitive swimmer that represented the United States in the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, CA, where she won three gold medals and one silver medal. Topics include: the grueling workouts it took to make it to the Olympic level and how that has changed over the years since Nancy competed due to scientific and technological findings, why reliance on community has aided her in becoming successful in competition and in life after swimming, how you can support legal advocacy for supporting women of sexual abuse in Olympic sports, and how we can better ensure that girls and women have a great experience in sports. Follow Nancy: Website: www.championwomen.org Twitter: @Hogshead3Au Some of the best quotes from Nancy: One of the main things that I got out of swimming is being able to push through, even when it's tough. I'm a real athlete advocate. I want more girls and women to have a great sports experience.
