Fourteen-year-old Slovakian celebrity Nela Lopušanová wowed hockey followers along with her “Michigan” objective. It’s known as that in tribute to the University of Michigan’s Mike Legg, who scored the primary lacrosse-style objective within the 1996 NCAA event. Although Slovakia misplaced 6-1 to Sweden, all anybody is speaking about is her phenomenal objective. It’s one for the ages! Did I point out that she’s 14? The “Michigan” is certainly one of my favorite targets and I used to be elated to see it finished by a youngster.
I used to be in internet for…The Michigan objective
In episode 5 of our new sequence, Rob Pizzo speaks to former Minnesota Golden Gopher goalie Steve DeBus in regards to the notorious Mike Legg lacrosse objective within the 1996 NCAA Tournament.
If you already know me, you already know that I do not love working. I’ve many shut buddies who’re runners and they’re athletes I really like and respect. One of these folks is Lauren Fleshman and I used to be thrilled to get my palms on her first e-book, Good For A Girl: A Woman Running in a Man’s World.
I met Lauren in 2017 at a convention in Oregon. She was so all the way down to earth and I feel one of many first issues I blurted out was “I hate working.” She laughed and we hit it off.
Her e-book is poignant and humorous but additionally very centered — like Lauren herself. She is a five-time NCAA long-distance working champion and two-time USA skilled winner. She is a passionate advocate for girls within the working house however has additionally been a formidable supporter of voting participation for girls and is an advisor at Oiselle an attire firm by and for girls athletes.
I admire the angle Lauren affords. She delves into usually shied-away subjects like puberty and menstruation for adolescent athletes with sincerity. Her expertise as a runner, as a mother, and as a businesswoman affords us highly effective perception into how we might help the communities we belong to and assist others and replicate on our personal truths. It could encourage me to exit for a stroll.
