Customer Reviews
Parent Listener
Thank you to RCA! I am a parent of two female, college athletes; one retired and one currently a student athlete. The information RCA provides is relevant and helpful; better understanding of what my daughters are or have gone through and how to better support them. I have shared episodes with the both of them and my friends who too, have daughters in athletics. Almost every episode there is a topic we have personally experienced but definitely can relate to, share and learn from. This is a very needed platform to share information and support the female, college athlete which will only better the college experience and life afterward. Thank you Sydney and RCA.
5 stars!
I just wanted do say I’ve enjoyed listening to this podcast. I’ve found you through a guest you featured on in one of your episodes. Retired JUCO basketball player. I love listening to his and I’m excited each week for the new episode. What a great idea this is! Thank you.
