But before the Seminoles take the floor in what hopes to be another historical quest, the Seniors sat down to talk about this season’s slogan…#RiseAbove It was senior defensive specialist Laura Dadowski who came up with the idea to #RiseAbove Laura Dadowski on what she was thinking when she thought of the idea: “We were experiencing a lot of different challenges this spring and we just wanted to put all of those behind us and rise above them. Also, when we do rise above we take it as being the best team we can be by overcoming any obstacles or conquering any problems we may face together.” Once she came up with the idea, the rest of the class agreed it was a perfect fit. Outside hitter Nicole Walch on why it felt like it was a great slogan: “We face a lot of adversity since we’re all ranging from 18 -22 years old and being in that collegiate experience and we have the new players to gel with on and off the court. Being able to rise above everything that has happened and just leave everything out there. On how the team is taking to the #RiseAbove standards: Walch - “There are a little different circumstances this fall compared to last year but I think what we’re going through now is going to shape us for the year.” Middle blocker Mercedes Vaughn: “We’ve done well so far this season. There is constant competition in practice and anyone on the team could easily come into a match and compete.” On how the theme will help them through the tough schedule: Walch - “Starting off strong is key. The teams we face outside of the ACC are very tough and that prepares us for what we’re going to see in the postseason. Which helps because if you play an easy schedule and you make the post season and see a tough team, you’re going to go down in three sets. It just helps you know what you’re going to see and we work hard all year in order to get there.” On what their goals are as seniors: Outside hitter Karlie Hauer – “No regrets and leave it out on the court. Every practice, match, set, just leave it out there. It doesn’t mat- ter what I’m doing – every touch matters and step up when I’m needed and help the younger girls that are coming in to make sure they feel comfortable and help them with what they can expect for the next three or four years and hopefully they carry on the FSU legacy when we’re gone.” Defensive specialist Caroline Dadowski – “I just want to take advantage of every experience. It’s going to be my last time doing every- thing here at FSU and I want to make it special and have fun.” Walch – “Finishing off strong and a National Title and an ACC Championship would obviously make our season the best. I think playing every match like it’s my last is key. That’s my goal.” L.Dadowski– “I agree with everything that was just said. For me, just to make the most out of everything, every practice, knowing that this is my last year and last chance to have those opportunities and doing whatever I can to help the team in any way possible. I just want to make the most of everything and try and finish strong.” Vaughn – “This being my last season my goal is to cut down on my errors and to be a constant energy source for the team.” 2 NUMBERS TO KNOW 5 7 8 Despite the nine wins that were produced AfterAf setting a school record for appearing in the month of November to close out in five-consecutive NCAA Tournaments, the the 2013 season, FSU fell just shy of its SeSeminoles will look to extend that streak fifth ACC title after posting a 17-3 record to seven in the 2015 season.

  • The Portrayal of Black Female Athletes in Children's Picturebooks
    Strides Toward Equality: The Portrayal of Black Female Athletes in Children’s Picturebooks Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Rebekah May Bruce, M.A. Graduate Program in Education: Teaching and Learning The Ohio State University 2018 Dissertation Committee: Michelle Ann Abate, Advisor Patricia Enciso Ruth Lowery Alia Dietsch Copyright by Rebekah May Bruce 2018 Abstract This dissertation examines nine narrative non-fiction picturebooks about Black American female athletes. Contextualized within the history of children’s literature and American sport as inequitable institutions, this project highlights texts that provide insights into the past and present dominant cultural perceptions of Black female athletes. I begin by discussing an eighteen-month ethnographic study conducted with racially minoritized middle school girls where participants analyzed picturebooks about Black female athletes. This chapter recognizes Black girls as readers and intellectuals, as well as highlights how this project serves as an example of a white scholar conducting crossover scholarship. Throughout the remaining chapters, I rely on cultural studies, critical race theory, visual theory, Black feminist theory, and Marxist theory to provide critical textual and visual analysis of the focal picturebooks. Applying these methodologies, I analyze the authors and illustrators’ representations of gender, race, and class. Chapter Two discusses the ways in which the portrayals of track star Wilma Rudolph in Wilma Unlimited and The Quickest Kid in Clarksville demonstrate shifting cultural understandings of Black female athletes. Chapter Three argues that Nothing but Trouble and Playing to Win draw on stereotypes of Black Americans as “deviant” in order to construe tennis player Althea Gibson as a “wild child.” Chapter Four discusses the role of family support in the representations of Alice Coachman in Queen of the Track and Touch the Sky.

Not many people know this, but I’ve always considered myself an artist of sorts. Ever since I was a young kid, I invariably find myself passing the time by doodling, drawing, and, on occasion, even painting. In the space between my paper and pencil, and in those moments when inspiration would strike, my imagination would run amok and these bigger-than-life personas - football players and comic book characters and, of course, professional wrestlers - would come to life. I wasn’t aware of this until much later, but for all those years my mother would quietly steal away my drawings, saving them for all prosperity, and perhaps giving her a way to relive all of those memories of me as a child. That’s exactly what happened to me when she showed me those old sketches of Iron Man and Walter Payton and Fred Flintstone and Hulk Hogan. I found myself instantly transported back to a time where things were simpler and characters were real and the art was pure. I get a lot of really similar feelings when I look at the incredible art that Rob Schamberger has shared with 2 foreward us all. Rob’s passion for art and for professional wrestling struck me immediately as someone that has equally grown to love and appreciate both, and by Adam Pearce truth be told I am extremely jealous of his talents.
