    Athletics vs. Academics (Ft. Olivia Foster)

    This episode is meant to to show appreciation towards teachers by interviewing a future teacher and past athlete. As this is exam season and this week is teacher appreciation week, it seemed only fitting to highlight both aspects of the academic world. Olivia discuses her hope for the future when it comes to herself, her college, the school system, and the mental health needs of students and athletes. Olivia is a very close friend of mine and is someone who always makes the days lighter and joyful. The hopes of this episode is to not only meant to bring about more respect for teachers, but also showcase how important it can be when a teacher was a past athlete and then in turn can empathize with student athletes when it comes to school and games, meets, tournaments, etc. Academics should come before sports, but neither of them should become before YOU and your mental health.

They are a very good friend of mine’s partner and they are a very mature and wise beyond their years individual who cares deeply about the LGBTQ+ community and how we as a society can change to make those in the community feel safe when competing and going through daily life.
