Welcome back to this new captivating episode of the Adventure Paradox podcast with interviews with Faye Perkins as our guest this week. Faye is a notable figure in women’s sports history and education. Faye shares insightful stories about her journey as a female athlete in the 1960s and '70s, highlighting the significant impact of Title IX legislation on her career and the lives of countless women. She talks about her experiences growing up in a small town in Iowa, her successful coaching career at the University of Wisconsin, and her travels teaching health education in Scotland and China. Faye reflects on the importance of mental and physical health in athletics, the challenge of gender equity in sports, and the lessons learned from injuries and recovery. Touching on personal anecdotes and pivotal life decisions, such as declining a Division I coaching position after a transformative experience at the 1996 Olympics, this episode delves deep into the paradoxes of being an athlete, a coach, and an educator.
