Athletes Rising is a podcast that pulls back the veil on what it takes to become an elite athlete.
Each episode consists of an interview with an athlete that grew up playing youth sports and was able to make it to the collegiate level or beyond. The purpose of this show is to show the good, the bad, and the ugly of what youth athletes go through in order to achieve their dreams. We want to expose the multiple failures that each athlete encounters and highlight the lesson that they learned from it and the affect that it had on them in helping or hindering them in their athletic career.
