✨ Go be the best version of you — and stop feeling like you have to be someone else.
Today on the podcast, @marenwalseth reminds athletes, parents, and coaches that authenticity beats comparison every time.
If you’re constantly measuring yourself against other people’s timelines, success, or highlight reels… you’re not growing, you’re shrinking.
Being your authentic self is your competitive advantage.
Being consistent is your separator.
Being you is the whole point.
👉 Listen to the full episode for more on confidence, identity, and showing up as your true self.
👉 Save this message. Share it with someone who needs the reminder.

If you’ve ever felt like stepping back means giving up — this one’s for you.” 🎙️
This week’s Sideline Ascent with Maren Walseth is for every college coach who knows the “one more” mentality — one more phone call, one more film session, one more sprint.
Her question for you: what’s the next most impactful decision you can make right now — not next recruiting cycle, not in the offseason?
The hardest lesson for coaches? Adjusting expectations doesn’t mean you’re asking less of yourself. It’s not lowering the bar — it’s pivoting, not quitting.

Being an athlete is about more than competing.

The habits, mindset, and resilience built through sport shape how women lead, problem-solve, and show up in every stage of life. Donna Orender, founder and commissioner of UPSHOT League, knows this firsthand.

That’s why Prospect HQ and LaunchBreak are committed to helping women athletes translate their experience into success far beyond the final whistle.

#throwbackthursday and - Still trying to process the incredible three days last week on the inaugural Leadership Academy for Women’s Sports at UC Berkeley Executive Education centre and try to put into words the impact.

The opportunity to meet and learn from an extraordinary group of women (and Cam) from across the women’s sports ecosystem and feel the energy, support, openness, honesty, camaraderie with the passion and ambition to advance women’s sport.

World class professors and lecturers bringing energized conversations and topics around Leadership and team, AI & Business Analytics and more. Courses that challenged me and my thinking, but gave me confidence and helped me to realign with who I am, and where I want to add value and have impact.

Still overwhelmed, energized, in awe, and the rest. A truly unique experience for which I am grateful to have been part of.

Thank you to Dr. Kellie A. McElhaney and the whole team for building and bringing this program to life, with such enthusiasm, drive and passion.
(Hana Athanasios Bryanna Cacioppo Jennfier Wells)

Also to Kelly deMarrais and Earlystone and Donna Wills Colson for the support of this program and enabling it to happen for us.
