On LGHL’s Play Like a Girl podcast, Meredith Hein and Kelsey Trainor talk everything from Ohio State football to all the happenings in the sports world today. Welcome back!! In this week’s edition of the Play Like a Girl podcast, Megan and Meredith get real into the Olympics, because they only come once every four (or in this case five…) years. And what a start it’s been: From 17-year old Alaskan Lydia Jacoby taking gold in the 100-meter breaststroke to Katie Ledecky getting her first gold of the 2021 Olympics in the 1,500-meter free, the pool has been an early highlight for the US team.  But it’s not all fun and games (well, maybe games), as the US men’s basketball team has been struggling. And we’re also facing a serious and needed reckoning of athletes and their mental health (thanks Simone Biles, Naomi Osaka and Michael Phelps for keeping the conversation going.  As big as the Olympics are, the sports world has had even more news this week, including former President Barack Obama joining NBA Africa as a strategic partners, NFL teams reckoning with vaccinations among their players and the start of training camp for Aaron Rodgers.  Contact Megan Husslein Twitter: @meganhusslein Contact Meredith Hein Twitter: @MeredithHein Learn more about your ad choices.

Buck Off: Revisiting Records, Carmen’s Crew, & RB Room

On LGHL’s Play Like a Girl podcast, Meredith Hein and Kelsey Trainor talk everything from Ohio State football to all the happenings in the sports world today. After being delayed for a very long year, the 2021 Tokyo Olympics are here at long last. That’s why, on this week’s edition of the pod, Meredith and Megan talked all things Olympics. ICYMI, the Opening Ceremonies are scheduled for this Friday, and Team USA just announced that hoops great Sue Bird and baseball player/speed skater (you read that right) Eddy Alvarez will be flag bearers. Great choices all-around (get it? Because of gymnastics?) The pair also discussed the USWNT’s surprising loss to Sweden in their first Olympic game, snapping a 44-game unbeaten streak. On a more positive note, they got into Team USA softball, and the team of newcomers and veterans who are coming together to bring home a gold after the sport was absent for two-straight Olympic Games.  But because it’s this podcast, Megan and Meredith also talked Buckeyes in the Olympics — including Adelaide Aquilla, the walk-on-turned-Olympian shot putter, and all-time wrestling great Kyle Snyder.  Contact Megan Husslein Twitter: @meganhusslein Contact Meredith Hein Twitter: @MeredithHein Learn more about your ad choices.

On LGHL’s Play Like a Girl podcast, Meredith Hein and Kelsey Trainor talk everything from Ohio State football to all the happenings in the sports world today. Welcome back! Excited to have Kelsey back with us this week after her epic trip to Las Vegas to watch the Aces.  On this week’s edition of Play Like a Girl, Meredith and Kelsey talked all things sports media — from the ESPY Awards (shoutouts to Naomi Osaka and Paige Buecker) to Emmy-nominated Nike ads and new Nike ads (giving us all the feels) to NBA Finals reporting drama (we love you, Maria Taylor!). The pair also got back to one of the hottest issues in college sports: name, image and likeness. That’s because Terrelle Pryor and the other Ohio State players involved in Tattoo-Gate more than a decade ago are asking for their records to be reinstated. But NIL rules, like pretty much anything the NCAA touches, isn’t as straightforward as it seems.

Justin is a big fan of 12th-seeded SCD Hoops in the Illinois region, and Connor has 15-seed WoCo Showtime winning a few more games than he probably should have. Take it with a grain of salt though, because the question “Who is this?” came up more than a few times.
