In this heartfelt conversation on Life. On Purpose, I reconnect with longtime friend Jess McCadam to explore how sports can go beyond the scoreboard and become a platform for deeper connection, faith, and impact. Jess opens up about her family’s journey through youth sports, college athletics, and the NFL, and how her husband’s role as a strength and conditioning coach has allowed him to lead, mentor, and shepherd young men both on and off the field. 

Together, they laugh, reflect, and dig into the ways that athletic life can shape identity, challenge priorities, and offer opportunities for growth and service. Whether you’re passionate about sports, faith, family, or finding purpose in everyday roles, this episode offers insight, humor, and honest stories from over a decade of friendship and shared life in the sports world.

Richard Perkins Hsung was born in China in 1966 and was one of the first teens to leave China legally after Mao’s Cultural Revolution. He earned a Ph.D. in chemistry from the University of Chicago and became a professor at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities and the University of Wisconsin-Madison, retiring in 2022. He spent ten years editing and completing Spring Flower (Earnshaw Books) by his mother, Jean Tren-Hwa Perkins, MD. 

Jean Tren-Hwa Perkins was born unwanted during the 1931 Yangtze River Flood, adopted by medical missionaries, brought to the US for a few years, then trapped in Communist China. She was neither American nor Chinese "enough," yearning for acceptance and home her whole life.

 The Chinese immigrant experience, especially for women, is often overlooked and deserves to be told. Bridging two centuries, this story brings to life themes of displacement, hope, and a woman's coming of age, and brings history to life.

 The three-volume memoir chronicles her life as an adopted child of American medical missionaries, survivor of China's brutal communist regime, ophthalmologist, immigrant, and mother.
