Making an Athlete
Behind every athlete is hours of practice, coaching and growing love for the sport. When an athlete has passion built into the sport they love, it fuels their desire to achieve their dreams of playing sports at a high level. What is often told to athletes is to “trust the process”, but without an understanding of what the “process” actually entails. Making an Athlete brings light into athletes dreams of playing sports at a high level by understanding the proper course. The podcast dives into the minds and experience of former and current players, coaches, scouts, trainers and more. These shared experiences bring more visibility and understanding in what it takes to play sports at a high level. Most importantly, it focuses on how to get to the next level of sports competition. Making an Athlete focuses on the process from youth, high school, college and onto the professional level. From the minds of the athletes and coaches who have been through the process themselves, they talk necessary steps and expectations for current athletes who are looking for guidance as they are on their pursuit of finding opportunity in their sport.
