#18 - Henry Hutchison - Australia Rugby Sevens Captain and Three-Time Olympian

from Abnormal · host Pete Laverick

In this episode of Abnormal, I chat with three-time Olympian and captain of the Australian National Rugby Sevens team, Henry Hutchison. He tells us what being at the Olympics is REALLY like (and the Olympic Village of course), what it feels like to just miss out on the medals, and why Rugby needs more international personalities like Ilona Maher from the USA. Henry also shares his training and recovery protocols, and more about the unique nature of travelling to the greatest cities in the World to play the Sport that you love.

Into The Parabnormal Jeremy Scott Jeremy Scott and his guests investigate everything between the paranormal and abnormal. We entertain those fringe topics, diving deep into subjects that are very often ahead of their times and censored or even banned from the mainstream. Teaching While White Podcast Teaching While White Over 80% of teachers in the U.S. are white. But most don’t know that their whiteness matters. TWW seeks to move the conversation forward on how to be consciously, intentionally, anti-racist in the classroom. Because "white" does not mean a blank slate. It is a set of assumptions that is the baseline from which everything is judged; it is what passes for normal. This means if you are not white or don’t adhere to those assumptions, you are abnormal or less than. TWW wants to have conversations about those assumptions: what they are, how they impact our students, and how we can confront our assumptions to promote racial literacy.
