The Rock Almighty Monday - The lost freedom, And Trump-Dancing Iranians Free?
Nate's note:
This article from 2024 illustrates one of the many oppressions that the people of Iran are being liberated from, resulting from the actions of the Trump administration, US, and IDF military in 2026.
Consider yourself as a young woman preparing for university. Your thoughts naturally revolve around the course of your day and your academic pursuits. However, residing in Iran presents a starkly different reality. Your foremost concern becomes the appropriate attire and the manner in which you must cover your hair and body to gain permission to enter the university.
Although the aftermath of Mahsa Amini's tragic demise has brought about some changes, there exist numerous unaddressed issues within our society, particularly in the media.
First and foremost, it is imperative to acknowledge that within every Iranian household with a daughter, a moral police exists. This figure, whether it be the girl's father or older brother, enforces regulations that transcend religious boundaries. In this discourse, I aim to shed light on the various constraints faced by Iranian girls and women.
In the majority of Iranian families, the patriarch holds absolute power and expects unwavering obedience from all members, even when he is in the wrong. The initial decree dictates that as a girl, you are prohibited from wearing attire of your choosing within the confines of your own home, as it may provoke inappropriate thoughts in your father or brothers. Consequently, it is deemed preferable to completely conceal your body, even during the sweltering summer months.
Expressing laughter with exuberance, whether at home or in public, is likewise forbidden, as the sound of your mirth may arouse the interest of other men.
Speaking in a loud manner while traversing the streets is also proscribed, as your voice may elicit similar reactions. Hence, it is advisable to communicate in hushed tones.
Needless to say, the obligation to cover your hair and adhere to specific dress codes remains paramount, as it may incite unwanted attention. The incident involving Mahsa Amini and countless other unnamed girls serves as a poignant reminder of this reality.
Should you find yourself in a marriage that proves untenable, you are bereft of the right to seek a divorce. You are compelled to accept your circumstances.
Within the framework of Islam, if one individual takes the life of another, the perpetrator is required to provide monetary compensation to the victim's family. However, if the victim is a woman, the compensation is reduced by half.
In the event that you require a loan from a bank or necessitate a witness in court, the presence of a woman as your witness mandates the accompaniment of two additional women. This practice stems from the belief that the intellectual capacity of two women is equivalent to that of a single man.
Every day, as you venture outside your home, you encounter women stationed at street corners, situated within a van. Their purpose is to remind you to wear your headscarf and cover your hair. Refusal to comply results in forceful apprehension, with the consequences of such actions remaining uncertain.
Failure to wear a headscarf while driving leads to the government confiscating your vehicle, necessitating a substantial monetary sum for its retrieval.
As a girl, you are prohibited from frequenting internet cafes and engaging in recreational activities, as it may arouse the attention of boys. Furthermore, attending stadiums to spectate football matches or other sporting events is strictly forbidden. If you happen to be a member of a swimming team, your membership is terminated upon reaching the age of sixteen, without any discernible justification for this restriction.
Mahsa Amini's untimely demise has prompted some changes within Iran, particularly in the minds of certain individuals. However, numerous instances of honor killings perpetrated by fathers or husbands persist due to misguided Islamic ideologies instilled by the government. For instance, Sanaz Ghasemi was killed by her husband, her brother killed Vida Piranchogh, and Raziyeh Hassanvand met a similar fate at the hands of her brother. Countless other names could be mentioned, names that have remained unknown to us.
Regrettably, we observe a dearth of individuals endeavoring to pursue education abroad and escape this country as expeditiously as possible. Moreover, the government continues to inflict harm, such as rendering the IELTS exam unaffordable for many aspiring candidates. Residing in Iran is an obligatory duty that all citizens must adhere to.
In conclusion, I simply yearn for the voices of those beyond Iran's borders to hear our plight and comprehend the challenges we confront. I fervently hope that one day, we shall rediscover our lost freedom.

US Sports Track and Field: Florida Gators Coach Nic Petersen’s Two Keys for Teaching the Triple Jump and Giulia DE MARCHI • Women's HIGH JUMP Performance
- By Grant Young
Track and field coaches that are triple jump training to youth, high school, and college athletes can be particularly challenging due to the event's inherent complexity.
The triple jump consists of three distinct phases: the hop, step, and jump, each requiring specific techniques and precise timing. Coaches must ensure that athletes can execute these phases smoothly while maintaining speed and momentum, which can be daunting for those inexperienced in the event.
Additionally, mastering the triple jump demands a combination of strength, power, and coordination. Athletes often come with varying levels of physical ability, making it essential for coaches to tailor training programs accordingly. This individualized approach can be time-consuming, especially in a team setting. Moreover, the psychological aspect cannot be overlooked. The fear of failure or injury may deter athletes from fully committing to their training or attempting new techniques.
Establishing confidence in athletes is crucial, but it often takes time and patient encouragement. Limited resources and facilities can further complicate coaching efforts. Effective instruction requires a thorough understanding of these challenges and a commitment to supporting each athlete’s development.
Due to this difficulty, it’s imperative that track and field have a few key points and techniques they can rely on that will help athletes of all levels. And there are few coaches better to learn from than Nic Petersen.
Coach Petersen is entering his 3rd season as Associate Head Coach (and 12th season as any coach) of Jumps at the University of Florida Gators track and field program, and has made his own imprint on one of the nation’s historically elite jumps programs.
The Gators have continued their extraordinary run of success in the jumps under Petersen. The program has recorded 21 men’s and women’s individual NCAA titles since his arrival in 2013, including seven from Jasmine Moore (2022-2023), two from Yanis David in 2019, three from KeAndre Bates in 2017 and seven from Marquis Dendy (2012-2015).
Petersen has been a part of nine National Championship teams and seven SEC Championship teams since his arrival to the program. During his tenure, Petersen’s jumps group has won 21 National Championships and 28 SEC Championships.
In his ‘Teaching the Triple Jump’ course, Coach Petersen goes over the teaching of triple jump from the ground up. Topics covered include his teaching progression for triple jump, training inventory, runway drills, 1st run jump drills, short run drills, and extended or specific bounding drills.
We have pulled two of his most crucial lessons about teaching the triple jump and have provided them for you below.
Addressing Common Errors
Perhaps the most important part of Coach Petersen’s course comes at the end when he addresses some of the most common errors that arise in triple jump athletes.
The first error he discusses is athletes reaching or hopping into the board. This could either be reaching into the board, the athlete sticking their foot out into the board, setting up too much as they make their entry into the board, decelerating into it, and just overall making sure athletes are maintaining their proper mechanics and not developing any bad habits as they get into and execute their take off are all things coaches should be constantly looking out for.
An athlete having a low knee drive or taking their hop too high are also things coaches want to key in on.
In addition to this, Coach Petersen notes that most issues that arise for an athlete during their triple jump are the result of something incorrectly done earlier on in their jumping process. Therefore, Coach Petersen stresses what he calls “coaching backward”.
To show what this means, he discusses how errors from the hop are normally from something that happened in the run and errors from the step are normally from something that happened in the hop.
“Look for things that happened before [the error]. What caused that?” Whatever the error is might have nothing to do with that actual phase and instead have everything to do with what they did heading into that phase.
Gator Drill
The triple jump drill that Coach Petersen is most known for is called the Gator Drill, which has multiple variations that can be customized and catered to specific athletes.
The most basic iteration of this starts with an athlete either on flat ground or on a raised box. They’ll begin by taking their first jump with their right leg, their second jump with their right leg, and then their final jump with their left leg before getting into their actual leap.
This is a great drill for coaches to diagnose and pinpoint the specific areas where an athlete is excelling or needs improvement. Especially by having these drills on video, Coach Petersen can look back at these repetitions with the athletes and work through various aspects of it in detail, such as ground contact at each phase of the foot position upon landing.
Coach Petersen suggests instituting a small box (anywhere from 1 to 6 inches) at the beginning of the drill only if you’re working with high-level athletes because the drill is already difficult enough in itself.
