  Game Changers - Stories of...

  In every era, athletes have pushed the boundaries of what is possible within their sports, but some have gone even further, breaking societal and cultural barriers in ways that extended far beyond the field. These trailblazers were not just pioneers in athletic achievement; they were agents of change who challenged and changed the status quo. 
  One of the most significant ways athletes have broken barriers is by overcoming racial and gender inequalities. The barriers that existed in sports were often a reflection of the larger societal issues of their time. In the early 20th century, racial segregation in professional sports was common. For African American athletes, simply getting the chance to play was an act of defiance. Jackie Robinson's entry into Major League Baseball in 1947, when he became the first African American to play in the MLB, was a defining moment in the fight against racial discrimination in sports. Robinson’s courage on the field changed the landscape of professional sports and helped to dismantle segregation both in athletics and in society. 
  Similarly, gender barriers have been a significant challenge for female athletes. For many years, women were excluded from participating in major competitions, and the sports they were allowed to play were often seen as inferior. However, athletes like Billie Jean King, who defeated Bobby Riggs in the infamous "Battle of the Sexes" tennis match in 1973, helped to elevate women's sports and demonstrate that women were just as capable of excelling at the highest levels. King's victory wasn’t just a win in sports—it was a victory for gender equality and a powerful symbol of the struggle for women's rights.

  Join Mick Hubert, Voice of the Gators, as he relives, through radio high-lights, the 1993-94 Gator football and basketball seasons – a year which saw the University of Florida climb to the top of collegiate athletic programs. Capturing a second consecutive SEC Eastern Division title, the Florida Gators avenged a loss to Alabama the year before by beating the Crimson Tide in the SEC Championship game and earning a berth in the Sugar Bowl. Along the way, the Gator scored more points, totaled more yards and passed for more touchdowns than any team in conference history. Against undefeated West Virginia, the Gators rolled to a 41-7 Sugar Bowl win, for a school-record eleventh victory and a #5 ranking in the final AP poll. The Florida basketball team began the 1993-94 season largely unheralded, but shocking critics and fans alike, marched to victory after victory leaving in their wake major powers Kentucky, Texas and Oklahoma State. On their way to a school-record 29 victories, the Gators become SEC Eastern Divisions CO-Champions, SEC Tournament Runner-ups and ranked #14 in the final AP poll. Seeded a #3 in the NCAA Tournament, Florida defeated James Madison and Pennsylvania, stunned UConn and rallied against Boston College to capture the East Regional Title. They had, in fact, “ Found A Way” to the final Four… It was A year To Remember!

  A runner’s high ... and low.
   
  And So I Run is a story about running. Jamie Doward uses running as an escape, as a way to evade life’s most painful realities. As the marathon medals stack up, a new obsession creeps in – beating the clock, needing to run a time, a time that once attained would magically solve all of life’s problems. In a world where some self-medicate with alcohol or drugs, Jamie finds his solace in marathon running, each training run, each race, a desperate attempt to outrun depression, shame and a sense of failure.
   
  But And So I Run is more than just a story of a 26.2-mile obsession – it’s a celebration of life’s absurdities and an uplifting story about how Jamie redefined his relationship with running. Engaging and relatable, with the marathon at its heart, And So I Run speaks to all runners, offering a raw, witty and human exploration of how we cope, heal and sometimes keep on just putting one foot in front of the other.

But to anyone who knows him off the pitch, he is one of the most grounded ambassadors the game could ask for.Honest and self-critical, Dan offers a rare insight into his personal and professional life. He talks candidly of his place within rugby, from the Premiership through to the Lions, and of the power dynamics within Wales’ most successful squad ever. He also opens the changing room doors and explores his relationships with past team mates, coaches and managers, from Warren Gatland and Shaun Edwards to Alun Wyn Jones and Wayne Pivac.The Biggar Picture is the story of a man who has taken in the joy, the graft and despair to become one of the sport’s most compelling figures – and Wales’ most capped fly-half.
