How did 17-year-old track athlete Emily Cole go from running with her teammates one day to waking up from a coma two days later?

I’ll let Emily tell you the details of her brush with death and it’s not a spoiler to say that she is absolutely thriving now.

In fact, not only is Emily excelling on the track at D1 Duke University, she is building a successful career as a student athlete. Thanks to a change in the law that allows student athletes to finally profit off their own name, image, and likeness, Emily has written a book called The Player’s Plate, has a wildly successful TikTok and Instagram and teaches other student athletes how to market themselves on her podcast, The Player’s Platform.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Quickly becoming my favorite

My husband tends to be not coachable and overheard your podcast playing while I was getting ready. He stated that you gave the most realistic advice he’s ever heard. That’s a big complement coming from him!
