Arshay Cooper | The Healing Power of Sports

TRAINED

Mindset. Movement. Nutrition. Recovery. Sleep. Turns out the same five tools that pro athletes use to break records can help us all stay healthy, happy and strong. On “Trained,” host Jaclyn Byrer sits down with these athletes — along with psychologists, researchers, physicians, trainers and other experts — to reveal the most powerful, practical and surprising lessons in holistic fitness. With each episode, they dig deep, offering new insights to help us play a better game, run a better race, or just live a better life.

Growing up on the West Side of Chicago, Arshay Cooper’s fate could have been sealed by his proximity to gang violence. But when he signed up for the country’s first all-Black high school rowing team, he changed his trajectory and led his crew as they navigated a sport that has historically lacked diversity. Now a successful chef, author and activist, he brings rowing to other low-income communities so kids can have opportunities for a better future. On this episode, Arshay shares how rowing gave his team the tools to cope with childhood trauma. Through detailed stories about his experiences as an athlete and mentor, he shows us that there’s no such thing as a lack of talent, only a lack of opportunity. He also explains how we can all leave communities better than we found them. Learn More - Don’t miss out on any details — check out Arshay’s book, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Most-Beautiful-Thing-Americas-All-Black/dp/1250754763">A Most Beautiful Thing</a>. - Get involved or donate to the <a href="https://www.amostbeautifulthing.com/join-us/">A Most Beautiful Thing Inclusion Fund</a>. - See how else you can make an impact on sport and community through <a href="https://www.nike.com/give">Nike Give Partners</a>.
