IT'S OUR SEASON 1 FINALE! In this finale episode, the three of us reflect on our journey creating this podcast. This is a feel-good episode where we share how this season has changed us for the better. This is just the beginning for the Third 500 Podcast and we are excited to see how we can keep creating and sharing our experiences through this podcast.

This episode is all about Spring Racing. This is rowing's most important time of year, with conference and national championships fast approaching. Listen in to hear all about our experiences with spring collegiate racing. We share our favorite racing memories, tips and tricks on how we used to prepare for a race, and more! 

In this episode, the three of us discuss what success and failure means to us and how it looked in college versus now. Who ever said flying starts are not to try in the middle of your sprint? Risks are an inevitable part of sports and teach athletes how to react, further develop, and learn from successes and failures. Tune in to this episode as we relive some of our greatest successes and failures, how we welcome all of them, and the journeys they've taken us on!

This episode is all about our experience and thoughts on technology in sports. We discuss sport watches, apps to track our performance and meditation, and technology we think is most beneficial for collegiate athletes. For years the success of a piece was based on the stats and analytics of the workout; was our heart rate high enough? Our splits low enough? Did we achieve enough efficiency? Now, as recreational athletes, we discuss the pros and cons of linking success to metrics and how we measure our workouts beyond the screen.  Listen in to hear us discuss our journey in more exploratory fitness measuring!

This week's episode is a deep dive into the familiar question: What do you want to be when you grow up? With three different journeys, listen in to hear how each of us are discovering our true passions and how they are inspiring our career paths! 

This week we welcome Morgan Blind, creator of 'The Weight of Winning' and current D1 athlete at Harvard University! Listen in to hear all about how she created this platform and what she wants to accomplish with it. Be sure to check out her instagram page @theweightofwinning for more content.

Injuries happen in all collegiate sports. Athletes often experience these times as a true test in their journey while supporting their team from the training room, instead of with them in practice. Today we discuss how our injuries from our years as collegiate athletes have become part of our post-graduate lifestyle. Listen in to hear how we practice injury prevention, mindful movements, and how we are more intentional while working out as retired athletes.

Let's talk about stress. Something we all deal with in some capacity. Stress does not have to be all bad all the time. It can be a great way to measure our own self growth and learn things we wouldn't normally in a low-key environment. Listen in to today's episode where we discuss how our stressors have changed from our time in college to young adults and the different ways we handle them. Stress can affect you emotionally, mentally and physically and the three of us are learning in our lives how to deal with it when it happens. Everyday we are learning something new about ourselves and gaining more tools to help manage the stresses in our lives.

In today’s episode, we discuss managing our finances both during college and in our current lives. There are not a lot, if any, of resources for collegiate student athletes to help them prepare for being financially independent once they graduate. Everyone’s experience to becoming financially independent is different, the three of us are perfect examples. Learning how to manage your own money, when to spend, when not to spend, is another challenge you embark on as an adult. A question we all ask ourselves when we go to purchase something: Do I NEED this?

Another year has rolled around and it has given us time to think about what goal planning is and how we goal plan. In today's episode we discuss how our goal planning has changed now that we are no longer student athletes. In this new phase of our lives we are learning how to orient our goals to challenge ourselves. A big debated question: are New Year's resolutions valuable?
