Listen Later

Join the Strong Youth Project Podcast as Savannah Dixon interviews BYU track and field athlete Jayda Lee about her athletic journey, balancing sports, mental health, and overcoming perfectionism. This inspiring discussion covers the power of resilience, family support, and faith in achieving success.


The Strong Youth Project values scientific evidence as the best guide for youth sports practices and proudly collaborates with respected scholars. While we also highlight individual athletes' experiences in our podcasts, we do not endorse all actions described, as some may lead to performance success but lack empirical support.
