In the latest episode of “ATHLETES TO ENTREPRENEURS: The Alumni Journey” hosted by Alumni Direct, we speak with Chantelle Lott, former elite collegiate runner, literacy advocate, and the CEO and Founder of Bounceless. 

Tell me about growing up playing sports and how that shaped your personality, leading up to college and beyond. 

"Track was my thing. I started running track in middle school and I ran through college. Really, the mindset of an athlete: starting something and sticking to it, that started early for me. I think I've always had this winning mentality, because even before track, people are always racing, and at some point girls are faster than boys, so I was like, "yeah, I got this!" That was my thing, just to keep running and chasing people."

On transitioning out of your sport:

"I think that whatever sport you do can still very much be a part of your life, but don't let it consume you. You are more than your sport. Whatever you studied, you chose that major for a reason, so tap into those passions, because if your sport was your only passion, then what would you do without it? So that's where you have to learn yourself."
