Podcast Overview

50 years ago, opportunities for women and girls in sport were few and far between. Enter Title IX. In 1972, Title IX legislation was passed, which banned gender-based discrimination within government-funded institutions. While this wasn't directly intended to affect the male-dominated sports culture, it opened the doors for equality on the field. This limited series features in-depth interviews with women who lived through the cultural shift that Title IX represented, including icons like Joan Benoit, the first winner of the women’s Olympic marathon; Marianne Martin, the first woman to win the Tour De France Feminine; Bobbi Gibb, the first woman to finish the Boston Marathon; as well as athletic directors and athletes who continue to press for change today. Here at Feisty, none of us would be where we are today without the changes that came from the passing of Title IX. It's time to pay some respect to the women that made our dreams a reality.

Running Your Own Race with Joan Benoit Samuelson

<p>This is it, folks. The final episode of our limited, and dear Title IX series! This week, we have one of our favorite athletes and mentors on the podcast - Joan Benoit Samuelson. Joan was the winner of the very first women's Olympic Marathon in the 1984 Los Angeles Summer Olympics. Having come into the realm of sport at the exact time of the passing of Title IX, Joan reflects on what that did for her career - and how far we've come. </p><p>Interviewed by Joan's family friend, Sarah True, the duo discuss what it means to run your own race. Joan pays homage to those women before her that made her win possible and gives us a run-through of that day back in 1984. Finally, she shares what it meant to her to have gained the title of the First Women's Marathon Winner. </p><p>*** Support the Podcast ***</p><p><br></p><p><strong>InsideTracker</strong>: Get 20% off at insidetracker.com/feisty</p><p><strong>Bonafide</strong>: Use code TITLE9 for 20% off your first purchase when you subscribe to any product at hellobonafide.com/title9</p><p><strong>Velorosa</strong>: Use code FEISTY15 at checkout and receive 15% off an order of full-priced cycling wear at velorosacycling.com&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Previnex</strong>: Use code TITLE9 for 15% off your first order at www.previnex.com/</p><p><strong>Life Time</strong>: Register for the 2023 Miami Marathon at themiamimarathon.com</p>

IX: Fighting Back with Amanda Leve

<p>10 months ago, Amanda Leve shocked the wrestling world with a huge upset win over the seemingly indomitable Gabi Garcia. At 25 years old, Amanda is a professional MMA fighter and considered one of the top grapplers of her generation. This week, Selene Yeager talks to Amanda about her experience as a young woman in sport. While the majority of the women we've had on this series were alive in the years following the inception of Title IX, Amanda gives us her perspective on the ways Title IX has helped/hindered her wrestling career in the modern day.</p><p>Selene and Amanda discuss the inner workings and nuances of women's wrestling and the sexist beliefs held by many institutions. From fighting against the boys, to being told women's wrestling is too "intimate" to be allowed, Amanda has seen it all. And of course, Selene asks Amanda all about that win against Gabi Garcia.</p><p>Watch Leve's iconic fight against Gabi Garcia <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PaWgsPOpT8g" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a> </p><p>***Support the Podcast*** </p><p>InsideTracker: Get 20% off at&nbsp;<a href="http://insidetracker.com/feisty" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">http://insidetracker.com/feisty</a></p><p>Velorosa: Use code FEISTY15 at checkout and receive 15% off an order of full-priced cycling wear at&nbsp;<a href="http://velorosacycling.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">velorosacycling.com</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>Previnex: Use code TITLE9 for 15% off your first order at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.previnex.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.previnex.com/</a></p><p>Life Time: Register for the 2023 Miami Marathon at themiamimarathon.com</p><p>Bonafide: Use code TITLE9 for 20% off your first purchase when you subscribe to any product at&nbsp;<a href="http://hellobonafide.com/title9" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">hellobonafide.com/title9</a></p>
