WE’RE BACK TOMORROW!!! β˜€οΈ Words cannot describe how excited I am to finally have Katie on the show! This conversation has been a LONG time coming, and you do NOT want to miss this one. Katie is incredible and has so much to share. I can’t wait for you all to hear her story! What happens when you feel like you’re nothing without your sport? Who are you when your identity, confidence, and self-worth feel tied to your performance? Tomorrow, we’re talking about the mental side of being an athlete, navigating life beyond your sport, and breaking the stigma around athlete mental health. Because YOU ARE MORE THAN YOUR SCORE. Your worth goes far beyond your performance. Let’s talk about it. Let’s break the stigma. ❀️ πŸ“ TUNE IN LIVE TOMORROW! πŸ•‘ 2 PM CENTRAL / 3 PM EASTERN πŸ”— CLICK Link in bio! EVERY SATURDAY. SAME TIME. See you there!!

✨ Unveiling The Hidden Opponent’s 2026-2028 Strategic Plan ✨ Read the full Strategic Plan at the link in our bio to learn more about the future of our organization, programming, and exciting developments on the horizon.
