🏐 Owning the Journey: Olivia Foley on Recruiting, Resilience, and Real Advice

 Olivia Foley’s story is one that many athletes and families can relate to. Before she became the NCAA Division III National Player of the Year and a three-time National Champion setter at Juniata College, she was just another high school athlete trying to figure out where she belonged.

In this episode of Significant Recruiting, Coach Matt and Olivia take a different look at recruiting than we have in past episodes.  They discussed the realities of on-campus visits and the importance of recruits bringing their A-game to a visit with a heavy dose humility, as well as the importance for recruits to talk, listen and ask lots of questions...and much, much more.  

But Olivia doesn’t stop there. Her wisdom extends to parents, high school and club coaches, and even college coaches — offering honest insights from the athlete’s perspective on what truly matters in recruiting.

If you’re a recruit, a parent, or a coach, this episode is packed with practical advice and powerful reminders of how to keep the journey grounded in purpose and growth.
