What do backyard chickens and 11 Olympic medals have in common? Natalie Coughlin, that's what. The gold medalist and world champion is gearing up for the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, while cultivating a healthy interest in all things food-related. From growing vegetables in her own backyard in Lafayette, CA to her highly effective method of kitchen organization, Natalie gives us the scoop on Read more
Volleyball superstar Gabrielle Reece made a big announcement this week: the 40-year-old mom is returning to the pro volleyball circuit this July. Calling it her "comeback," Gabby told ABC News that she decided to play on the Association of Volleyball Professionals (AVP) circuit this year because of changes its new owners made. Those changes include a shorter competition schedule and the return Read more
I told you I'd be back with more amazing ladies from Team USA. I will definitely be watching the opening ceremony this Friday, as I'll be on the lookout for the medal hopefuls I'm showcasing here. Here's hoping that their incredible talent, drive, and training is enough to bring home the gold! Read more
It must feel pretty good to be on the cover of Sports Illustrated next to the headline "America's Best Woman Skier Ever." But the buzz about this photo of Vancouver lady Lindsey Vonn concerns the way she's posing. As Women Talk Sports points out, SI rarely features female athletes on its cover, and often, they're shown in sexualized poses. Of course, you could argue that Vonn's pose isn't sexual Read more
The recently revealed (and depressing) secret code of sports mistresses reminded me that there are some women who will do anything to spend some time with a man who happens to be really, really good at sports. The rules for women who get involved with professional athletes include: never, ever, fall in love, always get gifts paid for upfront, and don't expect them to be faithful. Of course there Read more
Last week I had the pleasure of interviewing Dara Torres, the amazing Olympian, swimmer, and mom who made headlines at Beijing when she swam for a comeback at age 41. She won three silver medals and also won me over. Not only did Torres give me lots of great advice on health, training, and fitness, but she also shared some insight on how she balances intense training with a (relatively) normal Read more
A leaner body has advantages in some competitive sports, but it looks like some male athletes may be taking lean a little too far. Recent deaths among wrestlers attempting to make certain weight classes have raised awareness about eating disorders and male athletes. This issue is not just limited to wrestlers. Increasingly, doctors are seeing unhealthy eating disorders develop among cyclists, Read more
Anthony Iglesia wants to be like Mike. The seven-year-old baller was in Santa Barbara attending Michael Jordan's basketball camp when the iconic athlete tapped him to play a game of two-on-two against another camper and San Antonio Spurs player, Tony Parker. The former duo beat the latter with young Anthony scoring the winning basket and just as many points as Jordan. The child's proud mama Read more
In the past two weeks, many of us (myself included) have kept our eyes glued to the television screen watching the Olympics. You may think you're a die-hard sports fan since you know the number of world records broken or gold medals won, but the real test is whether you know what foods the Olympians just can't resist. Here's your chance to test your aptitude. On your marks, get set . . . Read more
Have you noticed that since working out your resting heart rate is lower than it was? This is no cause for alarm as most athletes (yup, you're an athlete now) generally have low heart rates. Runner's World gives us this analogy: ...consider a bricklayer lifting bricks. If his arm muscles are strong from lifting lots of bricks, he can move 10 bricks with each lift rather than just two or three. Read more
