A conversation with Carol Irwin PhD, one of the key researchers for more than a decade around the issue of swimming competence among populations. We discuss her research teams latest qualitative report “Factors impacting Swim participation and Competence,” which aims to understand why we see lower swimming proficiency rates in underserved populations. Dr. Irwin has PhD in Curriculum and Instruction/Health Education and an MA Sport Pedagogy. She is an associate professor of physical education, teacher education in the College of Health Sciences at the University of Memphis. Dr. Irwin has been the Principal Investigator for several USA Swimming research studies, including “Constraints Impacting Minority Swimming Participation.” This nation-wide study was the first research to determine minority youth swimming ability, and to dig deeper to explore possible reasons why these underserved populations drown at such high rates. She has also taken action to solve the problem by becoming research chair of Splash mid-south, a community-based program that supports diversity in swimming as well as decreasing drowning rates. Dr. Irwin discusses her background and what drove her and the other members of the research team to prioritize study of this phenomenon. She discusses the research methodology, of the May 2020 qualitative report, how it built off previous work, and some of the limitations. We review the key findings of the report including the insights that allow understanding about why we lower swimming competency in underserved populations and in what direction are the numbers moving. Finally, Dr. Irwin provides insight into potential solutions.

A conversation with endurance sports coach, author, and nutritionist Matt Fitzgerald. He is the author of 31 books including Racing Weight, How to Get Lean for Peak Performances and Race like a Pro, (Even if You’re Slow). Just released this month. We discuss endurance athletes and the concept of achieving an optimal performance weight or what athletes colloquially call “Race Weight.” We have a science and evidence-based discussion on why and when body composition matters with respect to bodies in motion. We discuss Matt’s motivation for writing the book Racing Weight and the 6 step plan he outlines for endurance athletes looking to become better recreational athletes or maximize performance. We talk about circumstances where this can go wrong and lead to counterproductive strategies or disordered eating and how to make sure you avoid such pitfalls in training. We discuss the difference between dieting and performance weight management for athletes and what athletes need to think about, up and above the conventional dieter, when it comes to daily nutrition and fueling strategies. We talk about how Matt has changed his approach with male and female coached athletes after over 10 years since he wrote the first edition of Racing Weight. Matt is the co-founder of 80/20 Endurance, and in addition to authoring 31 books. Matt is an acclaimed nutritionist. Matt’s writing also appears regularly in magazines and on websites such as Women’s Running and outsideonline.com. His online training plans have helped thousands of athletes of all experience and ability levels achieve their goals. Certified by the International Society of Sports Nutrition, Matt has consulted for numerous sports nutrition companies and he is the creator of the Diet Quality Score (DQS) smartphone app. A lifelong athlete, he speaks frequently at events throughout the United States and internationally.

A retrospective and commentary of 2020 and a review of the existential challenge of science denial. Looking back at the previous year I attempt to disentangle the elements of groupthink that lead to science denial, conspiracy theory, and toxic tribalism. A look and critical analysis of reasons given for medical skepticism and reluctance to trust medicine. I dive into the recent Pew Research data describing behavior and intentions towards getting vaccinated. I discuss a rubric that assists in navigating the environment and determining where to stand.

We talk about the parallels between chess and athletic training and competition and concepts that can be applied by athletes to improve, dealing with setbacks, dealing with loss, risk, analyzing competitors and other parallels. We talk about achieving the level of mastery in a craft and whether its born, learned or a combination of both. We talk about how to think like a grandmaster and the distinction between what to think and how to think. We discuss the parallels with chess and life, and how understanding of those parallels can be helpful. Ashley gives his perspective on why we see such large disparities in chess with women and minorities and what can be done to help. Ashley provides his recommendation on persevering in the current climate and what advice athletes and everyone can take from a grandmaster on persevering through difficult times.
