I coached this woman in Track and Field from age 6 to 14 and she could have been the best in the world. But she decided to play basketball.
Training Rules: 1. No Drinking; 2. No Drugs; 3. No Lesbians!
The Worldwide Premier of "Training Rules" was shown on Saturday, April 4, 2009 at 7:00 PM at the Ritz East 1 Theater in Philadelphia, Pa. I was one of the cast in this movie with my part filmed at my home two years ago. I expected the one hour movie to be about NCAA Basketball Star Jennifer Harris. I trained her in Track and Field from age 7 to age 16. My part of the movie focused on my contributions to her training.
But focus of the movie was not Jennifer Harris. Jennifer’s "Same Sex" law suit against Penn State and how it developed set the stage for explaining the hardships female athletes have to endure in the NCAA. The movie explained that the parents of these gifted children generally have no idea of the politics played on the NCAA level and how it affects their children. The children are taught that the people who practice and become the best get these college sports scholarships just to learn when it is too late that NCAA Sports is about money. The people at the top of the NCAA and the affiliated colleges put these gifted people second as entertainment slaves.
I am a commissioner on the Harrisburg Human Relations Commission and I coached female athletes for 10 years and never knew the real politics behind it. After the movie, Civil Rights Attorney’s told me that Penn State has come a long way in fixing its "Same Sex" policy enforcement procedures since the Jennifer Harris court settlement. However the attorney’s are currently working on other NCAA "Same Sex" cases in other Universities in the United States. An athlete can have an acquaintance who is accused of being a lesbian or your child maybe accused of being one. The conclusion will be the same, your child maybe targeted for discrimination and harassment by coaches, the school or the athletic community.
After the movie, WomanVision (http://www.womanvision.org)/) held a reception for the cast at the Sheraton Society Hill Hotel, 1 Dock Street, Second and Walnut. "Training Rules" will be shown at State College on April 16, 2009.
