Spirit of an Athlete Podcast
If you're a female athlete, parent of a female athlete, or one of the behind the scenes practitioners for female athletes, Spirit of an Athlete Podcast is for you.
I'll share inspiring stories of female athletes that have experienced an injury or illness in their athletic career that took them out of the game either for a short period of time or entirely. I also interview the practitioners that help these athletes get and stay healthy. The practitioners are sharing how they do their work while I or some of my own clients are their examples.
In these less than 30 min podcasts, my hope is to inspire as well as demonstrate alternative ways to help your athlete through an injury, illness, or game changing decision.
Let's get her back in her game and back to her passion!
