Healthy Sports Parents

The journey of a D1 commit who played every sport possible (with Sarah Lessig, Princeton basketball)


Listen Later

Sarah Lessig is currently a high school senior who has signed to play college basketball at Princeton next year.


But recently Sarah has gone viral all over social media because she is the girl who plays literally everything.


I’ll let her tell the full story, but in high school, she’s played basketball, baseball, softball, flag football, and been a good enough skateboarder to attract sponsorships. Not only that, she plays multiple instruments and is the epitome of the kid who has tried everything.


In our conversation, we talk about her journey growing up playing multiple sports, how those other sports helped her become a better basketball player, and what the college recruitment process was like.


We also hit on the struggles of club sports, how expensive they are, and the realities of trying to balance everything both as a student athlete and for the parent involved as well.


I was a fan of Sarah before this conversation just from watching her social media, but after spending some time talking to her, I can’t help but root for her as she enters college basketball next year.
