Coffee Talk E10 | Identity: Who Are You Beyond the Jersey?

Listen Later

☕ In this Coffee Talk episode, BJ brings together Natalie Castro and Mia Stankiewicz to talk about the lessons that come when the path to success isn’t straight. From early influences and family support to the mental resets that change everything, they share what it means to grow through the game—not just play it. This episode is a reminder that passion doesn’t fade when the route changes; it evolves.

Key Takeaways:

  • Every athlete’s path is unique, but shared passion keeps us connected.
  • Mental growth comes from learning to reset, refocus, and keep showing up.
  • Family, teammates, and coaches build the foundation of confidence and love for the game.
  • Who you are beyond the jersey matters just as much as how you perform in it.

    • If this episode reminded you why the journey matters as much as the destination, follow Coffee Talk for more real conversations that move the game, and the people in it, forward.
