Introducing our New Co-host April Fournier (Ep. 8)

In today's episode we're excited to announce that April Fournier will be joining Nadia Kean as the co-host of the Strong Athletic Podcast. Our listeners were first introduced to April in Episode 7 in which she spoke to us about the negative impact of having team names that are raciest and hurtful and why the practice needs to change. April is many things, including an athlete, a parent, a wife, an Early Childhood Educator and an Indigenous Rights Activist. At the time of the release of this episode, April is also running for City Council of Portland, Maine. In this episode, which was recorded in July of 2020, Nadia and April talk about different factors that they find important within sports and athletics. They talk about interests that they share in regard to communication between coaches and athletes and factors that will impact a person's experience in sports. This episode is a good prelude for what's to come during Season Two of the Strong Athletic Podcast.
