    052: Rebekah Allick - All-American for Nebraska Volleyball - "Conversion through relationships."

    Rebekah Allick was an All-Big 10 and All-American Volleyball Player for the University of Nebraska, and now she plays professionally for LOVB Madison. This conversation with Rebekah celebrates the last episode of year 1 of the Virtuous Athlete podcast, and we close out this first year with a special conversation. While Rebekah was growing and developing on the volleyball court at Nebraska, she was also growing in her faith through a great community she found on campus through a Bible Study. Ultimately, Rebekah joined the Catholic Church in 2023 after a powerful experience at the SEEK Conference. Since then, she has shared her conversion story more and more and is not afraid to use her platform to share her love for Christ and her beliefs. It is inspiring to see a young athlete who is not afraid to stand for what she knows is true and is also willing to share her story to help others.

    050: Don Hoendorf - Former College Baseball Player and My Dad - "Is it Faith or Superstition..."

    For this monumental episode 50 of the Virtuous Athlete, I sit down with my dad, Don Hoendorf. He is the biggest influence in my love of sports and coaching, and the best example of a strong Catholic husband, father, friend, and mentor I know. Don was a member of the 1970 State Championship team for Chaminade High School; he played collegiately at Wright State University, where he was a member of their first-ever NCAA Tournament Team; and he coached youth sports for over 30 years. Don has been married to his wife Patty for almost 44 years, and he credits her for helping him take his faith more seriously and for the model she has been for him, me, and all three of my siblings. This is a special one for me, while also being another great conversation of the importance of blending faith and sports!

    048: Garrett Bernardo - CEO of NOVUS, a premium sportswear company - "Claim Your Crown!"

    Garrett Bernardo is the CEO and co-owner of NOVUS, a premium sportswear company created as a side hustle while Garrett and his brother Nick were playing baseball at the University of Maine. After going on their own individual journeys following college, Garrett, Nick, and eventually their friend Scott reunited to officially launch NOVUS as a full-time brand in 2019. Which brought their first business challenge: navigating 2020 and all sports being shutdown. During our conversation, Garrett shares the importance of James 1:12, and how the Lord had plans for NOVUS long before Garrett and Nick started the side hustle. We also discussed how growing up in a baseball-loving and faith-focused family helped shape him into the man and CEO he is today. NOVUS is not your typical brand, as it is a mission-driven organization that looks to deliver premium products while giving back and helping others to "Claim Their Crown!"
