We are joined today by Ms. Leigh Liebmann who is the Program Coordinator for the Dallas chapter of "Back On My Feet".  This program is another example of how to use exercise and sport to facilitate societal change - in this case to help with employment and housing.  This is a great podcast with someone who is trying to change the world by using exercise!

Basketball is heating up with the end of the collegiate basketball season coming soon.  This week, we're replaying one of our favorite podcasts where we have  Dr. Mike Thornton with us in the podcast this week to talk about refereeing college basketball.  The one group of involved folks that we don't normally hear from are the Basketball Referees.  As the season heats up, we thought it would be great to hear again from a Division I College Basketball Referee.  Dr. Thornton has officiated...

There are many examples of how Human Performance can translate into advances in general health.  Today we have Merry Lynn Morris from the University of South Florida who talks about the Rolling Dance/Mobility Chair project.  This project was started to allow disabled individuals to be able to express themselves through dance, but has morphed into the development of a chair that gives the disabled unprecedented mobility.
