IronWomen - Paving Her Own Path with Hana Al Nabulsi Jun 01, 2023

Show notes

Hana Al Nabulsi is aiming to compete in the 2024 Olympics as the first Emirati woman to do so in triathlon. However, this wasn't always something she thought could be possible for her. In this energetic interview Hana tells us all about how she got her start in endurance sports with an ultra running race, all the way until now as she is training under her country's triathlon national governing body.

She particularly emphasizes how she pursues her own dreams, and doesn't let the criticism or nay-saying of others affect her. It is through that mindset that she hopes to inspire other women from the United Arab Emirate to chase big goals in sport and give them a path to follow.

IronWomen - All Things NIL with Grace Norman and Kennedy Calcagno May 25, 2023

Show notes

In the past few years what it means to be a collegiate athlete has changed dramatically ever since the NCAA changed it rules regarding Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL). Previously, student athletes were not allowed to profit off of their own NIL, but now they are, which has led to a rise of brand deals being promoted on social media and other collaborations of the sort.

Just recently, USAT has announced the creation of the Watch Us Thrive Collective for NCAA women's triathlon. On the podcast this week Grace Norman, who is an ambassador for this program, tells us about what it is, as well as how it helps support the goal triathlon becoming a fully fledged NCAA championship sport.

In our second interview, we hear from Kennedy Calcagno, who just finished her freshman year doing triathlon at TCU. Not only has she had an NIL deal herself, but she also took a business class this year all about NIL. She explains to us how she went about getting a deal, what she had to do, and the various types of opportunities that are available to student athletes.

Show notes

This week Haley and Alyssa catch us up on their adventures this past weekend at the Taylor swift concert in Nashville and shooting content in Clermont, Florida for the One Water race! We also had quite a few exciting mail bag questions, so we chat about carbon shoes, blood testing, pre-races nerves, and a lot more.

We also had the pleasure of getting to hear from Jackie Yost when Haley met her last week in Florida. She tells us about how she got her start in the sport, the community she has built, and being an athlete as a mom! Jackie is a role model to triathletes of all levels, and we are so glad we were able to speak with her!!

She tells us all about her training, and how much joy she finds out on the bike. As well, she talks about how she goes about honing her weaknesses in the pool. Her first race at Tritonman in San Diego resulted in a win, so we are very excited to see what the future holds for her in this sport!
