In this episode of The Diving Pod, we sit down with Kalina Ceglinski, junior diver at Northern Michigan, to talk through her diving journey and continued growth at the collegiate level. Kalina opens up about what it was like arriving at NMU and fully embracing the challenge of developing on 3-meter once she got to college, highlighting her coachability, curiosity, and willingness to learn something uncomfortable in order to get better.

She also shares just how much NMU means to her, from the team culture to the daily environment that’s helped her thrive both as a diver and as a person. The conversation finishes with Kalina laying out her future goals, including her drive to compete at the highest level and her long-term vision of winning an NCAA title. A great listen for athletes who believe in trusting the process, buying into development, and committing fully to the work.
