  • USET Foundation NEWS
    USET Foundation NEWS UNITED STATES EQUESTRIAN TEAM FOUNDATION • VOLUME 14, ISSUE 3 • WINTER 2015 FOUNDATION SUPPORT Grants Athletes’ Team Dreams Competing at the top of equestrian sport and bringing home medals takes more than just drive and dedication in the modern era of show jumping, dressage and eventing. The financial commitment of competition has become prohibitive for some athletes, but thanks to the generous donors at the USET Foundation, riders like Callan Solem, Laura Graves and Matthew Brown have been able to reach their goals through grants and funding, bring- ing home top honors for the United States. SHOW JUMPING Callan Solem In equestrian sport, all junior riders dream of making it to the top of the sport and competing at the Grand Prix level, but the say- ing “it takes a village,” truly applies for the nation’s top show jump- ers. Callan Solem began her riding career as a working student for Carol Thompson, who recognized Solem’s talent and passion for the sport right away. With a dedication to her job and a love for the horses, Solem became the professional rider for Thompson in 1997, and in 2010 began riding for Virginia and Collin McNeil. Over the years, Solem has earned multiple top placings at some of the country’s biggest events, and has represented the United States at Nations Cup competitions in Europe and Mexico. But to be a part of the U.S. Show Jumping Team, it has taken more than just talent and dedication; it has taken the support of organi- zations like the USET Foundation.

  • 1 Covid-19: Reflections on Threat and Uncertainty for the Future of Elite Women’S Football
    1 1 Covid-19: Reflections on threat and uncertainty for the future of elite women’s football 2 in England 3 4 Abstract 5 This commentary offers an analysis of the implications of Covid-19 on the future of elite 6 women’s football, with the intention of reflecting on and illuminating the threat and 7 uncertainty facing the game. Topics covered include (1) organisational and economic 8 repercussions; (2) consequences for player contracts, migration and investment; and (3) 9 player wellbeing. These significant challenges require swift and decisive action in order to 10 mitigate their potential effects. Recommendations are made for governing bodies, parent 11 clubs and practitioners, in addition to possible future research directions for academics. We 12 reflect upon what can be done during and post-pandemic to continue the momentum and 13 growth of women’s football in England, highlighting the need for football clubs to learn from 14 previous crises by embracing innovation and entrepreneurship. 15 16 Keywords: coronavirus, Covid-19, sport, women’s football, elite football, wellbeing 2 17 Introduction 18 In 2020, the world has witnessed the spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) to nearly 19 every country in the world. Having emerged in China at the end of 2019, its global impact led 20 the World Health Organisation (WHO) to declare a Public Health Emergency of International 21 Concern (PHEIC) (WHO, 2020a). Global fear about the potential for rapid spread of Covid- 22 19 has resulted in substantial restrictions to lives across the world (Hellewell et al., 2020), 23 travel bans (WHO, 2020a), and the cancellation of mass gatherings and events (WHO, 24 2020b).
