This spring we have another impressive list of guest speakers lined up: Hope Solo, Vitaly and Yulia Stepanov, Kara Goucher, Casey Malone, Mara Abbott, Jim Trotter, Solomon Wilcots, Ceal Barry, Jay Smith, Phil DiStefano, Rick George, Jor Jupille, Mike Macintyre, Tad Boyle, JR Payne, Valerie Simons and several possible surprise guests.
For locals, we will have some evening events associated with the class open to the public, so stay tuned.
We are reading three books:
- The Edge (by me)
- The Sports Gene (David Epstein)
- Cheated (Jay Smith and Mary Willingham)
Lots of other readings - academic, journalism, official reports, etc. We are also watching several films, including Icarus, Venus Vs. and Let them Wear Towels.
It will be a great class - the best ISG so far. I am really excited for the semester.
Comments welcomed!
