On this episode, Dr. Heather North explains how shoe fitting and foot movement has that there is no scientific evidence to favor orthotic prescriptions.  Shoes that change eversion or control the foot don’t really change the movement path but rather range of motion. Foot pronation or eversion may not be a contributor to running injuries. It's an interesting analysis of how feet behave and the importance of examination of your feet as an athlete to ensure you adapt to changes and wear the exact right shoe for your foot and your activity.

Host: Dr. Heather North

On this week's episode we hear an extract from the recent RollerCon discussing people of color hosted by Mick Swagger from Team Indigenous: "Most important thing I've been a part of in roller derby to date. Winning Hydras and playing top ten doesn't matter when oppression exists on your team and within your league. The obsession with winning that trophy seems to make people forget to treat each other well and that is just not something I can be quiet about anymore. This exists at every level in this sport and we are here to talk about it and continue to talk about it until people, leagues and our governing bodies take action. 

"This podcast is an important step for Roller Derby. It is the first time there has been a Panel RollerCon centering the voices of POC. Team Indigenous was honored to be host this panel, featuring incredible panelists who shared their thoughtful and honest experiences as a POC in roller derby. 
Thank You to Ana Cheng, Soledad Derby, TJ Edwards, Jen Bennett and Melissa Mick for facilitating this discussion. We cannot thank you enough for your bravery and getting this conversation off to a start. There are so many places we can go and much to learn and achieve."

Debbie McDonald has been an integral part of Team USA Dressage for a number of years since she stole the limelight with her extraordinary mare Brentina winning team silver and bronze at the 2012 and 2016 World Equestrian Games and the team bronze at the Athens Olympic Games. Most recently, as well as becoming a much sought after coach, Debbie has been the Developing Dressage Coach nurturing new talent among young riders around the country. This year her role will change as she takes over the position of Technical Advisor to the team from Robert Dover. It’s a role she is relishing and, with the upcoming World Equestrian Games, Debbie is confident that the way the horses are going right now ‘everyone should be frightened’ as they are a force to be reckoned and will be looking to improve on their last podium - the team bronze medal in Rio. Chris Stafford chatted to Debbie about the team’s current form and how the horses and riders have improved.
