  1. The Athlete Drive & Mom Strength w/ Ally Nwobi

    The Athlete Drive & Mom Strength w/ Ally Nwobi

    To kick off a new era of Authentic Performance, this week’s guest is Ally Nwobi! Ally played volleyball and softball through high school, and then softball in college at Shasta College & Azusa Pacific. Now that she is a teacher and mom, her exercise routine looks different than it used to – mostly home pilates and running. She has completed several half marathons and even a marathon last year! Even though her athletic role has changed since college, she still deeply values her health and has learned to be flexible with what her capacity is while taking care of her family. Some highlights of our conversation: - navigating the pressures of being a new mom- transitioning out of sport and into service - avoiding comparison and living out identity in Christ - staying accountable with a busy schedule More from Ally: @ally_nwobi

    New Routines Post-College Athletics w/ Halliday Hubbard

    This week’s guest is a friend of mine, and former competitor, Halliday Hubbard! Halliday and I went to rival high schools and played against each other in sports, but stayed friends off the court and field. After graduation, she went on to play basketball and softball at College of the Siskiyous. Then she transferred to Bushnell University where she played softball. Now, she is attending graduate school at Linfield University. She hopes to mentor young female athletes, especially sharing her faith journey and experience as a collegiate athlete. Halliday also shares about the transition out of competitive sports and how she is managing her time and new routines. I loved getting to catch up with Halliday, and I’m so grateful she felt confident sharing her story!

    Kingdom Work in Athletics w/ Noah Weiss

    To kick off another incredible season of the podcast, we hear from Noah Weiss, an Engagement Associate & Content Coordinator for the Uncommon Sports Group! USG is an organization that equips Christians to work in sports by providing networking opportunities, group Bible studies, a curriculum for members called the Academy, mission trips, and much more. I had the opportunity to serve in Kenya last summer with Noah and his wife Erin leading our group and it was incredible to see the Lord work. In this episode, we talked a lot about USG's mission and Noah's current role and past experiences as well as personal faith stories and how to serve others in an industry that is often secular. This was such a good one and I'm so excited for you to be encouraged and challenged by Noah!

    From Football Star to Coach & Dad w/ Danny Osborne

    On this week’s podcast, you get to hear from a VERY special person to me- it’s my DAD, Danny Osborne! My dad is the rock of our family, a constant supporter of all the endeavors of myself and my siblings, and a great resource for athletes and coaches! In college, he played football at Willamette University and then had the opportunity to play overseas at the semi-professional level in Paris, France. After settling into his career selling lumber, he started coaching at his alma mater. Since then, he has raised three kids (all being active in athletics) balancing “dad”, “coach”, “supporter”, and many other roles. I’m so grateful for all he has done for our family, and am excited to share some of his experiences with you!
