WPDSports Press On Podcast
Ever want to know what’s in the minds and hearts of both collegiate student-athletes and veterans athletes alike? Sometimes not much. Other times? To know would blow your mind! Just ask them.
Join educator and sports mentor Dr. Scott McNeal as he, collegiate student-athletes, and veteran athletes engage in personal, somewhat unscripted monthly conversations about life and faith at the intersection of soul and sport.

WPDSports Press On Podcast
"Resolute" - S. Little. 5 x US Champion Ultra. Wife. Mother. Educator. Philosopher. "Hunting Down the Runners Ahead of Us." Holiday Special!
Christmas “Ultra” Special
Dr. Scott McNeal (Dr. M) talks with Dr. Sabrina “Resolute” Little. Wife, mother, professor, author and one stellar, virtuous, professional ultra-distance runner.
Sabrina resides with her family in Newport News, VA.
Sabrina takes her strong, virtuous, and focused work ethic on a multi-year, professional running journey winning (and this the short list) five US Ultra Championships, an individual World silver medal and Team Gold Medal in 2013.
In 2019, Sabrina runs the fastest 100K and 50-mile times for US women and ranks 10th on the all-time list of American Women. Previously the 24-hour American record holder (152.03 miles) and 200K American Record (19 hours, 30 minutes), Sabrina now focuses on the “shorter” events like the marathon and 100K.
In early 2024, Dr. Little releases her Oxford University Press book – The Examined Run: Why Good People Make Better Runners. In this book Sabrina argues “that virtue ethics provides a vocabulary for athletes to better understand their own formation in sport, and assists them in developing a vision of what a rich athletic life can look like.”
Join Sabrina as she reflects on (1) her early sport years, (2) her collegiate success and challenges (3) her professional move to the ultra-distance (4) her mixing of personal faith and sport and finally (I hope) on (6) her favorite ultra-distance nutritional hack.
Quips and Advice:
“Hunting down the runners ahead of us!”
“The cows are so big in person.”
“Is perseverance always a virtue?”
"She is an Outlier.”
“Fixed on good ends and done in good ways.”
