Personal Foul

Posted: at 4:30 pm


You might not recognize Mike Shropshire’s image on the video clip — avuncular, face framed by thinning gray hair — but you may recall the name. Shropshire’s byline ran over sports columns and feature stories in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, The Dallas Morning News, Playboy, Sports Illustrated, D magazine, and elsewhere for 35 years.

In the video, he reminisces about the early years of the Texas Rangers baseball club, name-dropping a little — Billy Martin, Dan Jenkins. His memories were trotted out last week as a promotional piece for The Sports Page, a comedy by local playwright Larry Herold that premiered at Stage West Theatre last week. The play is set in the mid-1960s, near Shropshire’s heyday as a sports writer.

The clip includes one section by Shropshire that is drawing protests from women journalists around the country. In it, Shropshire talks about the “first woman journalist I ever encountered,” who worked for a radio station and who happily had sex in the showers with “four or five” Rangers players one night in 1975.

Shropshire now says he asked the video producers to delete that part of his interview in the video but that they said it was too late to do so. Both Adam Dietrich, the video producer, and Herold defended its inclusion.

What’s more, Dietrich admits that he hoped the inclusion of Shropshire’s salacious charges would create controversy to promote the play. As a documentarian, he said, he doesn’t have to follow the same rules as a journalist. The video, however, is being used as promotion for a play, not as part of a documentary, stand-alone film.

The offensive nugget has put Shropshire all over the internet, incensing women and apparently titillating some men. Commenters alternately raged and guffawed on D magazine’s FrontBurner blog after Executive Editor Tim Rogers, an erstwhile colleague of Shropshire, posted the video on Feb. 8 with a short story.

The Dallas Observer’s Robert Wilonsky wrote a neutral introduction and posted the clip, with four others, on that newspaper’s web site. The “gang-bang” video has gone DFW-viral in less than a week. “Boys will be boys,” commenters suggested (wink-wink, nudge-nudge), but many women journalists, especially sportswriters, are furious.

Melissa Ludtke, executive editor of the Schuster Institute for Investigative Journalism at Brandeis University in Massachusetts, heard about the video via the members-only listserv of the Journalism & Women Symposium, a national professional organization.

“It’s wrong for these Dallas news organizations to post something like this,” she said. “It’s just disgusting and goes against every aspect of decency.

“First of all, to charge a particular person anonymously but yet indicate this was one of the only women in that area covering this sport for radio, is reckless,” she said. “If Shropshire knows the name of this reporter, he ought to give it, and that person ought to have the opportunity to respond. … Not one player is named. There is absolutely nothing in there to give it one shred of credibility.”

Sexist treatment of women sportswriters is familiar ground for Ludtke. Covering baseball for Sports Illustrated in the mid-1970s, she was banned from team locker rooms and couldn’t sit with the guys in the press box. That all changed when she filed a federal lawsuit against Major League Baseball and then-Commissioner Bowie Kuhn. She won the landmark case in 1978, establishing equal access to locker rooms for women reporters.

Dietrich, a Fort Worth-based actor with a fledgling commercial videography business, agreed that what Shropshire said was “outlandish.” But, he said, “My platform is not to show whether this is true or not true. I would be lying if I said we put that part of his interview in without realizing it would be controversial. We hoped to position it to create dialogue and questions and conversation.

“If an audience is outraged or interest is piqued, then I would encourage our audience to go out and continue the conversation.”

Stage West producing director Jerry Russell could not be reached for comment about the video and whether its use is an acceptable method of attracting audiences.

Herold used his experiences as a sportswriter back in the day as inspiration for his play’s focus on two crusty newspaper sportswriters at the Dallas Cowboys training camp in 1966. In the play, he treats the dramatic changes of the time — televised sports, women sportswriters, and arrogant athletes — with humor and sensitivity.

But he defended the use of Shropshire’s story in the video as being “Mike’s choice” and suggested that perhaps the video is helping sell tickets at Stage West.

“Every seat was filled on opening night,” Herold says. “That’s very unusual for a Saturday night opening at that theater.”

Shropshire, however, is anything but happy about the video and the response to it.

“I’m happy for the play’s success,” he said from his home in Dallas’s Preston Hollow neighborhood. “But I kinda feel like Rick Perry having to explain myself after a terrible debate performance. Anything I say about that video will make it worse.”

He said that after a bit of reflection on his inflammatory remarks, he contacted Dietrich with a request to “expunge those remarks.” Ten days had passed since the shoot, and “by then it was too late,” Shropshire said. He’d like to make amends now.

“The person I was talking about was not an accredited media person,” he says. “What she was, or what she claimed to be, was a freelancer working for a rock-and-roll radio station. I realize I created the [inaccurate] impression that she was an accredited writer assigned by a real news organization.”

Tim Rogers defends D’s decision to post the video without examining the truth of Shropshire’s statement. “Mike Shropshire is no shlub,” he says. “He’s a veteran sports reporter, and he writes books, so when we get something like this, it’s newsworthy. We put it up for our readers because it’s news.”

Rogers pointed out that he posted a rebuttal of sorts in a follow-up entry on Frontburner. Rogers made a call to a retired Texas Rangers player from the 1975 team and asked him “about Shrop’s story that a female reporter got ‘gang-banged’ in the clubhouse shower.” According to Rogers, the unidentified player hemmed and hawed and then concluded, “In a word, if I had to say whether or not that ever happened, I would easily say no.”

The video of Shropshire is part of a series featuring sportswriters who worked in North Texas during the timeframe featured in the play. A different clip will be rolled out each week for the run of the show.

“It’s done for movies all the time,” Herold says. “Why not create some videos just like the film trailers used to promote movies?” A slick, trailer-style video on Stage West’s web site (www.stagewest.org) introduces the play’s characters, interspersed with action shots.

Ludtke is still fuming. “Sexuality and sensuality were not on our minds when we were doing our jobs,” she said, mentioning some of her peers — pioneering female sportswriters such as Mary Ellen Garber, Betty Cuniberti, Lawrie Mifflin, Lesley Vissar, Robin Herman, and Jane Gross.

“Lawrie said it best,” Ludtke added. “She said, ‘Locker rooms are grubby, smelly, disgusting, exhausting, pressure-filled places that couldn’t possibly be thought of as a sexual situation.’ Women were doing this work because they knew how to do it, they wanted to do it, and they did it well despite the various challenges put in their way.”

If Dietrich and Herold are unrepentant, Shropshire is not. “If you can set the record straight,” he said, “I can dare to show my face in the neighborhood again and possibly I can remain married for another year.”

Getting to the emotional roots of poor eating habits

Posted: at 4:30 pm


Life was becoming a winless race for Nora Mullen, 37: rushing to the office and back to her Oreland home, feeling overwhelmed and dissatisfied with her role as a new working mother.

Her baby daughter, an extremely picky eater, was in day care, and often sick.

It was during that period two years ago that Mullen consulted personal performance coach Erin Owen. The Northern Liberties founder of Your Performance Breakthrough (www.yourperformancebreakthrough.com) offers counseling in stress reduction, change, and nutrition, all with a leaning toward Eastern wisdom.

The two began meeting, and the results, according to Mullen, "were profound." Mullen gained insight into what her stress was costing her, and how she was shortchanging herself and her family, especially at mealtimes. A year ago, she left her job and is now making quality of life and nutrition high priorities. Her toddler daughter is thriving, and so is Mullen.

For the last eight years, Owen, an MBA who also trained at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (affiliated with Columbia University), has worked as one of a growing number of professionals who specialize in guiding high-achieving and often exhausted people to live more balanced lives, with nutrition as a cornerstone. Nutrition coaching leaves the prescribed diets to the Weight Watchers of the world, and takes a deeply personal approach, examining emotional triggers, eating history, and family dynamics in a one-on-one setting. It's an expanding field - the institute has 20,000 alumni working in 50 states and more than 80 countries since Joshua Rosenthal founded the program in 1992.

Owen, herself a mother of two, jumped from her corporate treadmill after noticing in her 20s that her body was breaking down from stress and improper eating, those deadly companions of modern Western life.

"I studied more and more about Eastern philosophies, made drastic changes in my own diet, ditching the doughnuts and burritos, and even stopped drinking coffee," says Owen. "I use some ancient Chinese ideas about the digestive system, about keeping food in proper relationship to the seasonal changes. ... Food can be the 'drug of choice,' and knowing how to use it can change your life."

Karen Gomez was a skinny kid until around age 10. Then, says the Philadelphia resident, she started gaining weight. "I come from a family with weight issues and bad habits," says Gomez. She tried every diet. As a teen and later as a young adult, she followed scripted plans that failed her. And then she met her nutritional inspiration: Ali Shapiro.

Gomez attended one of Shapiro's group sessions on emotional eating back in 2008, and as she listened to Shapiro discuss the tangled relationships that women have with food, something clicked. She signed on as a private client. "I left that first session so relieved that I wasn't going on a diet, one that would leave me hungry for weeks."

Fast forward to 2012, and Gomez is a considerably thinner - and infinitely happier - working mother of a 10-year-old son.

She has dropped about 60 pounds, embraced an entirely new way of nourishing herself, left a job that she disliked, and is passionate about walking several miles daily to and from her job in administration at the University of Pennsylvania.

Shapiro's "Truce With Food" approach to nourishment (alishapiro.com) contends that excess weight needs first to be understood if it is to be fixed.

Shapiro, 33, often shares her own story with clients, one that begins with her diagnosis, at age 13, of Hodgkin's disease.

"I thought I was going to die - I hated not being 'normal' - and I tried to bulldoze my way through chemo and radiation, stuffing down the feelings."

She was emotionally ravaged, at war with her body, and grew prone to cycles of losing and gaining weight into her young adulthood.

"And then I chose to work in corporate America, traveling all the time, feeling anxious and pressured. All the while, my body was signaling me that I was abusing it. I struggled with depression, had an undiagnosed gluten intolerance, asthma, allergies.. . ."

About six years ago, still in her stress-loaded life, Shapiro began studying nutrition, enrolling in the Institute for Integrative Nutrition.

Today, a regular health contributor to NBC's The 10! Show, she works with women struggling with weight. Shapiro reviews health histories, family patterns, and emotional eating, offering simple strategies such as getting off processed foods, digging into one's emotional history, and not waiting for life to get better "once I lose weight."

Says Shapiro, "My life and body are at peace now that I've designed my life in a way that truly feeds me."

Although the majority of clients are women, the problem isn't solely a female one. Just ask Jay M. Leistner, founder of Phase 2 Architecture and Interiors.

The 53-year-old Elkins Park resident summarizes: "I had too much on my plate - both food and work."

Given to late-night snacking, Leistner saw his weight creeping up, but he wasn't looking for a diet. He wanted a new relationship with food.

He found it with Sally Eisenberg, founder of Nourish Ur Life (nourishurlife.com), a nutrition counselor who also entered the field following some personal struggles.

"In 2006, I lost my sister to ovarian cancer. That was a terrible wake-up call to me about how precious life is," says Eisenberg, 47. "I'd worked for 20 years in the world of marketing and advertising, and I realized I wanted something more meaningful and personal in my life."

Then there was her own history: "As a chronic dieter, I was obsessed with my weight. It was completely unhealthy. I would weigh myself daily, and if I didn't like the number, my day would be ruined."

Eisenberg understands that with adjustments in attitudes and in daily diet, food can become a friend and less an enemy. Through her company, she works with clients on replacing unhealthy habits and ingredients with healthy ones. "I'm definitely not a fan of going on a diet," she says, noting that instead, she often takes clients on shopping trips to the grocery store to introduce new foods - and new food ideas. She also cooks with them in her kitchen.

On a recent afternoon, she was doing a refresher course with Leistner, who has learned about foods he never knew existed, like the quinoa fritters they were preparing together.

"I've lost 20 pounds without really trying," says Leistner, "and I've gained mindfulness and balance in my life. And that's better than ice cream."

Marni Grinberg Davis, 42 and pregnant, is another Eisenberg client. The director of philanthropy for a nonprofit, Davis has never had a weight problem, but her goal is to improve her awareness about nutrition.

"I definitely feel healthier, cleaner, and better-informed," says Davis. She and her husband plan to pass these principles on to their baby, due in March.

7Figure Sam Provides 4 Personal Trainer Marketing Tips For Big Success In 2012

Posted: at 4:30 pm


January and February are goldmines for personal trainer marketing. Yet, within 5 or 6 months, much of a trainer’s new business is gone and it’s back to the drawing board. Sam Bakhtiar is owner of the Fit Concepts franchise in Chino Hills and a millionaire personal trainer/entrepreneur. Here he shares 8 tips for sustainable success in 2012. More free advice is available at http://www.super-trainer.com.

Chino Hills, CA (PRWEB) February 15, 2012

Studies consistently show that most new gym members sign up in January, but cancel their memberships within six months. This can be considered a failure of personal trainer marketing, according to Sam Bakhtiar, owner of the Fit Concepts franchise in Chino Hills, California and millionaire personal trainer. It is not difficult to find new members at a time when everyone is focused on a fresh start and New Year’s resolution to lose weight. Yet, sustaining their interest can be a challenge. Over the past 20 years, Sam has refined his methods and come up with 4 essential tips for running a sustainable business in 2012.

1.    Stay Fresh. “Good personal trainer marketing is about making a new client feel as though he or she is your only client. From the day my people sign up, I am there – always,” Sam explains. “I send them welcome cards with motivational quotes and pictures. I send them goal statement cards, milestone cards, holiday cards, event cards, and notes just because. Keep an eye on your new people to make sure their attendance is not dropping. If someone misses a class, you’d better be on the phone.”

2.    Brand Yourself. “You need to eat, sleep and breathe your brand every day. Your brand becomes a promise to the client that you stand for the highest values and quality in your business. You want to become a source of great enjoyment for your clients, so it’s easier to prioritize you and harder to live without your services.”

3.    Use Methods That Work. “There are limitless methods of personal trainer marketing online these days,” Sam says, “but you need to know which ones lead somewhere and which ones are all hype. First and foremost, referrals are our bread and butter. Daily deal sites will get you tons of leads, but you need to be ready to handle the volume and convert. Google has always been a vital part of any online business. Running contests, challenges and promotions to keep your existing people engaged is well worth your money and effort, as retention is cheaper than new client acquisition. Public speaking events are a great way to get your face out in front of the community and I always recommend trade show lead boxes as well.”

4.    Don’t Put All Your Eggs In One Basket. According to Sam, “This industry is all about multiple revenue streams. Run a boot camp program in addition to your individual personal training. Sell e-books, podcasts of your workout music, DVDs, webinars, and branded workout clothes. Get into selling energy bars, smoothies, supplements, protein powder, educational materials, or another affiliate product. Use advertising on your blog to generate passive income. The more irons you put into the fire, the more income you bring in, plain and simple.”

Thirdwind.com has Launched Interactive Community Dedicated to Empowering People to Achieve Success

Posted: at 4:30 pm


Thirdwind.com has launched an interactive community dedicated to empowering people to achieve "true" success by realizing both their professional goals and personal dreams. According to Best Selling Author of "Igniting Your True Purpose and Passion", Robert Michael Fried, "True success involves a lot more than striving for that corner office, reaching for the next pay raise, or keeping up with the next door neighbor. True success always involves reaching out to others - beyond ourselves."

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) February 15, 2012

For many success is defined as the attainment of wealth, favor, or eminence. People have different preferences regarding the goals of life. Thirdwind.com has launched an interactive community dedicated to empowering people to achieve "true" success by realizing both their professional goals and personal dreams. According to Robert Michael Fried, Best Selling Author of Igniting Your True Purpose and Passion, "True success involves a lot more than striving for that corner office, reaching for the next pay raise, or keeping up with the next door neighbor. True success always involves reaching out to others - beyond ourselves."

While one’s achievements may be remembered after death, the success that he or she experiences lasts only as long as the individual lives and sometimes not even that long.

For example, an important meeting of the world’s greatest financiers took place at Chicago in 1927. Present were Charles Schwab, President of the largest steel company; Samuel Insull, President of the largest utility company; Authur Cutton, the greatest wheat speculator; Richard Whitley, President of the New York Stock Exchange; Albert Fall, a member of the Cabinet; Jessie Livermore, the greatest bear on Wall Street; Ivar Kreuger, head of the world’s greatest monopoly; Leon Fraser, President of the Bank of International Settlement; and Howard Hopson, President of the largest gas company. All these men were considered to be outstandingly successful, yet what happened to them?

Charles Schwab died bankrupt. Samuel Insull became a fugitive and was considered to be insolvent. Authur Cutton died abroad insolvent. Richard Whitley was sent to prison. Albert Fall was pardoned in prison, and died at home. Jessie Livermore committed suicide. Ivar Kreuger committed suicide. Leon Fraser committed suicide. And Howard Hopson went insane. Surely something must be have been wrong with the goals of these men and with what people believe success to be, even if only temporary. It is true most of us equate success with financial success. But this success lasts at most only for a lifetime, and the old saying is certainly correct: “You can’t take it with you.” While financial success or popularity may be regarded as success, it is not the success that really counts! Financial success or eminence in this world is not true success. What we need to become aware of and evaluate is true success.

True success involves a lot more than striving for that corner office, reaching for the next pay raise, or keeping up with the next door neighbor. "True success always involves reaching out to others - beyond ourselves," says According to Robert Michael Fried, Best Selling Author of "Igniting Your True Purpose and Passion." But achieving the kind of total success articulated by Emerson is clearly no easy task.

The path to achieving true success is often strewn with potholes and boulders. Fried offers these tips:

    1.    Take it personal - If we take the same amount of time and energy planning our personal lives as we do our business life or career we would likely live a more meaningful, balanced and personally enriched life. In short, strive to make it your business to turn your life into your most successful venture yet!

    2.    Don’t limit yourself by labels - Remember what your do is not who your are. Author Joe Robinson suggests we carry an ID card with two sides. One side would have your title or profession, the other side would describe the authentic you, the you at your very core. For instance, Judy Brown: Galloping Gourmet. John Smith: Storyteller Extraordinaire. Don Porter: Renaissance Man.

    3.    Write down your personal goals - Write down your personal goals as well as your career goals. Make sure your goals are quantifiable. There needs to be time and numbers attached to your goals. You might want to lower your golf handicap by three strokes over the next twelve months. You might want to increase your personal financial portfolio by twelve percent over the next two years. You might want to spend two weeks next summer on a European vacation with your family.

    4.    Hone in on what really matters most - Things that really matter most in your life should not take a backseat to things that matter least. Remember, your personal values, integrity and self-worth are not determined by your valuables. Time in one resource we cannot regenerate. Accordingly, invest your time wisely on that which is really important to you (i.e. family, friends, health, and yes, your career). Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that your career isn’t important. I’m just strongly suggesting you don’t overweight your career at the expense of other important things in your life.

    5.    Expand your reach - True success always involves reaching out to others beyond yourself. You can revel in the success of your children. You can contribute to your urban community. You can be a patron of the arts. You can help clean up your environment. You  can mentor a person who needs your help. You can care for the elderly. YOu can give to charitable causes. By reaching out to others we often reap the returns and personal satisfaction that real success can bring.

    6.    Make meaning - See yourself making meaning as well as money. Judge your level of true success accordingly.

    7.    Don’t be afraid to fail - In short, don’t be afraid to fail in your quest for true success. Your very striving means you are already on the right road. The passes we go through in life will continue to through us some curves and knuckle balls. However, we can take some solace in words of Viacom CEO Sumner Redstone: “Success is not build on Success, it’s built on failure.”

Robert Michael Fried is the best selling author of Igniting Your True Purpose and Passion. He is a marketing executive who has guided the strategic direction for companies like Motorola, Nautilus, bebe eye-wear, and several emerging Silicon Valley firms. He is co-founder of Thirdwind.com, a company dedicated to helping people achieve true success by making meaning as well as money.
