So you wanna play sports in college?

Coach D and her guest, Lindsey Long discuss the skills and traits necessary to not only play college sports, but to be successful. Here's a secret: it has very little to do with talent!

Lindsey Long is the Assistant Athletic Director of Student-Athlete and Letterwinner Engagement at Iowa State University. Lindsey is building programming and out-of-class curriculum for student-athletes to document experiences that are core to their personal and professional development. As a four time letterwinner for the Cyclone soccer team, Lindsey's personal and professional experience make her the go-to person for navigating these large life transitions.

Coach D and Lindsey hit on:

-What kids and high school programs are missing these days

-What the top skill athletes need to be successful

-The real question kids should be asking themselves when it comes to picking a college, and a job.

This is a conversation you'll want to save, and hopefully it will spark a real conversation for you as you navigate any upcoming transition.
