Training Rules
Wolfe Video only ships to the United States.

From Academy-Award nominated director Dee Mosbacher and Academy-Award winning cinematographer Fawn Yacker comes one of the biggest award-winners on the 2009 LGBT film festival circuit: TRAINING RULES.
Women’s basketball coach Rene Portland had three training rules during her 26 years at Pennsylvania State University: no drinking, no drugs and no lesbians. TRAINING RULES examines how a wealthy athletic department, enabled by the silence of a complacent university, allowed talented athletes who were thought to be gay, to be dismissed from their college team. The film follows the lawsuit filed in 2006 against Portland and Penn State by student athlete Jennifer Harris. This high profile case ignited the world of women’s collegiate sports. It inspired the discussions so sorely needed to end discrimination based on sexual orientation that pervades all organized sport.
Powerfully narrated by international swimming great Diana Nyad, TRAINING RULES is a riveting must-see film.
To aid those dealing with homophobia in sports, Wolfe and Woman Vision are offering a FREE DISCUSSION GUIDE to help readers to understand the issues, and to develop specific actions an athlete can take who feels he or she are being discriminated against.
