Behind The Number

We’re ending this season with a 2-part conversation with former pro MLB player, softball, baseball motivator, Author, etc. -CJ Beatty. In part one, CJ takes us back to his childhood, how he separated himself from the pack, and advice he has to parents about their young athletes.

She's a Ortho Resident, US National Champion, Team USA Fencer, Olympic Alternate 2021, and Blogger ( @saberandastethoscope). WHEW! Kamali Thompson is one for accomplishments, especially living her life as the underdog, graduated high school two years earlier and didn't start fencing until her later years (something that competitors of her caliber started from a young age). But, as Kamali shows, it doesn't matter what age or level you come in; all that counts is the plan and effort.

Being an Olympian comes with its fair share of sacrifices. Colton Brown, U.S. N.J. Olympian, shares his athletic experience in a way that pro-athletes, student-athletes, coaches, parents and the rest of the community can gain values from. He's transparent about the hardship of the process, importance of sport psychologists and community, and why he'd never take this opportunity for granted. A great episode of perspective as we've kicked off the 2021 Olympics.

I got a chance to sit down with four-time 1st team All-American, Team USA Athlete Taylor Cummings. She dives into her experience, constantly competing at a high level, handling the pressure, exceeding expectations, and now reaching back and impacting the younger generations. What's cool about this interview is that Taylor shares how she's used skills learned in sport and applied it to relationships, meeting goals, making an impact through her organization, and much more.
