Training Rules

Rene Portland had three well-known public rules during her 26 years coaching basketball at Pennsylvania State University- no drinking, no drugs and NO LESBIANS! Narrated by international swimming great Diana Nyad (National Public Radio), this film examines how women's collegiate sports, caught in a web of homophobic practices, destroys the lives and dreams of many of its most talented athletes.
