Trailblazer, Tina Sloan-Green, co-founder of the Black Women In Sports Foundation joins us today.  Sloan-Green is the first African-American to play on the U.S. Women's National Field Hockey Team, first African-American to coach a women's college lacrosse team (Temple Owls), and the first African-American to win a national championship in women's college lacrosse (Temple Owls, 1982 and 1984), among other "first" in her life.  

Sloan-Green takes us back to her early athletic career and shares some of her most youthful memories.  She also talks about the experiences of being the "first" African-American woman, but her passion was to not be the "only" African-American woman.  Sloan-Green shares some insightful thoughts about today's sports mentality, needed opportunities for urban children of color in sports, and the current "pay to play" sports model.  She also shares some wisdom about the current state of racial issues plaguing America.
