All of my guests are more than just athletes; they’re competitors, leaders, and game-changers who’ve forged their own path in sports. Whether they went D1, pro, or pivoted completely, they’ve chased their goals with grit and passion. I dive into the mindset, moments, and motivations that shaped their journey. The real story behind the stat line. My goal with Athletes Off Duty is to bring the stories and steps straight from the athletes and sport industry leaders who’ve made it, so families can take what they need to get there. Without the smoke and mirrors! I lived through it, and now I’m building the educational platform I wish I had.

    Committed by Cami Merickel: Track & Field, Nebraska D1 Athletics, Traveling Abroad, & more!

    In this episode of Committed, Kate sits down with Nebraska distance runner Cami Merickel to talk about the realities of Division I track and field and building a life beyond your sport.  From growing up in Arizona to competing at the D1 level, Cami shares how she navigated recruiting without a clear roadmap, adjusted to the demands of college training, and learned to trust her own path as an athlete.  She opens up about the transition from high school to D1, managing injuries and increased workload, and why track is far more mental and strategic than people think.  Cami also shares her experience studying abroad in Barcelona while continuing to train at a high level, a rare path for student-athletes, and how that experience ultimately reshaped her career goals and identity beyond running.  This episode is for athletes learning how to balance performance, personal growth, and life outside of sport.  Follow Cami: Instagram: @camimerickel (confirm handle if needed)  To reach out or learn more please visit: https://byndsport.com/Social Media: @committedbykatefitzgeraldSubstack: @committedbykatefitzgeraldYouTube: @kateafitzgerald

    Introducing "Committed by Kate Fitzgerald"

    Committed is a podcast about the real journey through sports and the life that follows. Hosted by former Division I beach volleyball player and entrepreneur Kate Fitzgerald, the show is rooted in her unique path through college athletics. Kate walked on to Arizona State’s beach volleyball team, earned a scholarship, became one of the top NIL-earning Olympic sport athletes, and helped lead ASU to its first NCAA Championship appearance. Along the way, she launched two businesses through NIL, including VBAmerica and the SPORTx Student-Athlete Venture Studio, a $1.5M+ partnership with GoDaddy focused on helping athletes develop skills beyond being influencers. Now, she talks with athletes, coaches, and innovators to share real stories about recruiting, college sports, NIL, and life after the game. New episodes every week.  To reach out or learn more please visit: https://byndsport.com/ Social Media: @committedbykatefitzgerald Substack: @committedbykatefitzgerald YouTube: @kateafitzgerald
