From a childhood filled with struggle to leading young women on the court, Coach Ty Terry's journey is nothing short of powerful.

In this episode of Swim Lessons the Podcast, Ty opens up about the pain he faced growing up, how he almost lost himself, and the way basketball became his lifeline when everything around him felt like it was sinking. Now the head girls basketball coach at St. Mary's High School, Ty shares how the game didn't just save his life, it gave him a purpose and a platform to pour back into the next generation. We talk about faith, identity, mentorship, and what it really takes to rise above where you started. If you've ever felt lost, overlooked, or stuck in your circumstances, this conversation is for you.
