    Olympic Athletes and Motherhood

    Alysia and Molly talk about some of the &Mother initiatives and beyond in how to support Mother Athletes at the Olympics and Paralympic Games. "What we want for female athletes is to allow them to be holistically themselves.... this is what I tell my daughter. You have an opportunity to be yourself, you have an opportunity to be an upstander and you have the opportunity to leave the world better than you found it and if you listen to every negative voice....you are going to be the one who's on the bottom of the floor. What you want to do is be the one climbing the ladder and bringing people up with you" -Alysia Montaño on racing while pregnant and not listening to negative comments

We talk about her work studying Media Psychology and health and given her running background we dive into how it relates to women’s sports- which she is equipped to speak on. In 2020 she did a study to see what happens to audiences when commentators use sexist language around women’s sport .Links to Jessica’s published works including her text book and her articles via her website emotionsandmedia.com.

    Marathon Trials Spotlight: Fiona O'Keeffe !

    Our second installment in our miniseries of spotlights around the women of the 2024 USA Olympic Team Trials Marathon is Fiona O’Keeffe. As a 6 time all American at Stanford graduating in 2020 Fiona got to chase some fast women on her own team in the middle distance events. She steps up to the Marathon as one of a few women debuting in the distance at the trials. Since joining the Puma Elite running team with coaches Amy Hastings Cragg and Alistair Cragg, Fiona has run great times as the events got longer like her 10k pb of 30:52 and 67:42 in the half - I think 26.2 will follow this trend and we can’t wait to watch her run the event!
