On this weeks episode of Own HER Power Podcast, I had the opportunity to speak with head Coach at Viterbo University, Brandi Alonzo. Coach Alonzo is a kindred spirit of mine as we have some of the same thoughts when it comes to succeeding in this sport. Listen to her episode as she speaks about how to keep pushing through in new environments and through coaching changes. According to society, she "didnt fit the mold" on what a Division 1 athlete looked like. She didnt take it as a no to the opportunity but instead allowed the barrier to become a fire that pushed her to keep chasing her dream against the odds. Take a listen now!
