Unlevel Playing Fields – CNS Maryland
There are nearly 24,000 public high schools in the US and 3.4 million girls playing for sports teams. Title IX, the sweeping federal law that guarantees equity in “any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance,” applies to each one of them. Who is watching over them? What systems ensure that girls in high school sports are getting fair treatment?
“Unlevel Playing Fields" is a four-month investigation into Title IX and high school sports. The reporting reveals a system that is failing countless girls.

Play To Win - Improving the Lives of LGBTQ Youth In Sports
For millions of Americans, sport embodies our ideals of equality, fairness, perseverance, discipline and integrity. On the field, court or track, in the ring, on the ice, or in the stands, we transcend our differences in the spirit of honest competition and perseverance. But in too many places, sports are not always a safe or affirming space for aspiring LGBTQ+ athletes.
The Trevor Project National Survey on LGBTQ Youth Mental Health 2021
The past year has been incredibly difficult for so many, but we also know that lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and questioning (LGBTQ) youth have faced unique challenges. The Trevor Project’s 2021 National Survey on LGBTQ Youth Mental Health sheds light on many of these challenges by capturing the experiences of nearly 35,000 LGBTQ youth ages 13–24 across the United States.
Our third annual survey provides brand new data on the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, mental health care disparities, discrimination, food insecurity, conversion therapy, and suicide — in addition to the benefits of LGBTQ-affirming spaces and respecting the pronouns of transgender and nonbinary youth.
Leadership Versus Management
The terms 'leadership' and 'management' are often used interchangeably, but they are two distinct and complementary processes. Although ‘leadership’ is often considered a superior role to ‘management’, both are essential to all organisations, regardless of size. By understanding the key differences and strengths of each discipline, organisations can be better placed to make effective use of both.
Adaptive Leadership Peer Consulting Methodology
The following pages describe the Cambridge Leadership Associates (CLA) Adaptive Leadership Case Consultation methodology that has been used by thousands of people across private, public and non-profit sectors.
The structure of this process can feel awkward at first, but is designed to surface new interpretations and areas of activity that would not be realised in traditional dialogue. The value of the consultation often comes from the diagnostic breakthroughs, helping the Case Presenter see the situation in a fundamentally different way than he or she presented it to the group.
This diagnostic process requires the group to be free to brainstorm without constraint: there are no bad ideas, nor are there avenues closed to exploration. What often happens is that as themes develop, the group will gravitate toward one or two ideas about how to look at the case that are new and perhaps even uncomfortable for the Case Presenter.
Regarding Sportsmanship, It’s Time for Wake-up Call in High School Sports
From time to time, everyone needs a wake-up call to get back on course, to regain focus and to “get with the program.” That time is at hand in high school sports as it relates to unsportsmanlike conduct.
In the 103-year history of the NFHS and organized sports in the United States, good sportsmanship has been one of the most important outcomes of these programs. When appropriate behavior occurs, competitive play is more enjoyable for everyone.
And for some individuals recently, the games have not been enjoyable. In the past few months, following are some of the unfortunate incidents that have occurred at the high school level:

Why NBA center Jason Collins is coming out now - Sports Illustrated
Now I'm a free agent, literally and figuratively. I've reached that enviable state in life in which I can do pretty much what I want. And what I want is to continue to play basketball. I still love the game, and I still have something to offer. My coaches and teammates recognize that. At the same time, I want to be genuine and authentic and truthful.
Why am I coming out now? Well, I started thinking about this in 2011 during the NBA player lockout. I'm a creature of routine. When the regular season ends I immediately dedicate myself to getting game ready for the opener of the next campaign in the fall. But the lockout wreaked havoc on my habits and forced me to confront who I really am and what I really want. With the season delayed, I trained and worked out. But I lacked the distraction that basketball had always provided.
Soft tissue injuries simply need PEACE & LOVE - BJSM blog - social media's leading SEM voice
ehabilitation of soft tissue injuries can be complex. Over the years, acronyms guiding their management have evolved from ICE to RICE, then to PRICE and POLICE. Although widely known, the evidence for these treatments is limited. ICE/RICE/PRICE focus on acute management and ignore sub-acute and chronic stages of tissue healing.
