    The lasting social impact of mega sporting events: Creating accessible, inclusive legacies
    Jun 4 2025
    Mega sporting events like the Olympics and Paralympics promise excitement, but do they leave a lasting social impact? Dr. Laura Misener, professor and researcher at Western University, explores how these global spectacles can drive real change—especially in accessibility and inclusion for people with disabilities. In this episode, we examine what it takes to turn a two-week event into a long-term legacy, why grassroots initiatives matter more than big-ticket projects, and how Para sport can shift public perceptions. From policy to technology, discover the keys to ensuring these events don’t just impress—but improve the communities that host them.

  • The Invisible Opponent: How Body Image and Surveillance Shapes Sport Performance

    The Invisible Opponent: How Body Image and Surveillance Shapes Sport Performance
    Feb 19 2025

    Athletes train to be stronger, faster, and more skilled but what happens when their toughest opponent is their own reflection? In this episode, we explore the impact of body image and body surveillance in sport, from how uniforms influence participation to the subtle ways coaching language shapes self-perception. Dr. Catherine Sabiston, an expert in sport psychology, reveals how negative body image affects confidence, performance, and mental health. We discuss strategies for athletes, coaches, and sport leaders to foster a healthier culture, one that values performance over appearance. Because true athletic success isn’t just about how you look, it’s about what you can do.
