Topics covered. The gang discusses karaoke. Alex talks about the weather again. Ali describes how much of a recluse she is. Michele talks about covid and his new pants.  What are endomorphs and the other body types? Do all warm-blooded creatures have hair? What channel was Wild America on? What is Pectus Excavatum?  We go on to discuss coaches' perspectives on body image in girls' sports. How do coaches feel this is viewed in non-aesthetic sports?  High incidence of coaches' commentary on body image (intentional and unintentional). Four themes arose: a) the "elephant" on the field, b) coaches acknowledging coaches are agents of body image, c) the focus on skill over appearance, and d) systemic issues. We go in-depth with each one, including the importance of resources and breaking down the barriers of communication to build relationships. And more.
