Introducing our first guest of Season 3....Joseph Smalzer!  Joe graduated from Loyola University of Chicago  where he was a DI National Championship and 3x All American.  His personal expectation post college athletics was to give back to a world that has given him so much. Outside of work he spends as much time as he can with his wife and daughter,  being heavily involved with volunteering in underprivileged communities. Together they started a non-profit with a mission to find people and organizations that are changing the world and sharing their stories. Joe dives into his collegiate experience, his professional playing career, and his wisdom and insight on giving back to the world. We know you will enjoy this conversation and learn a lot from an incredible wise and beautiful human!

Dr. Chelsi Day is a licensed psychologist who specializes in clinical sport psychology. She was a diver at Miami University where her team was very successful during her time as a student-athlete. Chelsi has worked in a private practice setting with high school, Olympic, and professional athletes, in college counseling settings, and was the director of counseling and sport psychology at Indiana University before she joined the staff at Ohio State in the fall of 2019.
We had the pleasure of sitting down and virtually speaking with Chelsi about this generation of collegiate student athletes; also known as "gen z", and she enlightened us on so much knowledge regarding this generation, how they think, how they learn and communicate, what matters most to them, and why they operate the way that they do. 
A very important episode for coaches, individuals that work with those that fall into generation z, and even student athletes themselves - because at the end of the day, all they really want is to be seen, and heard.
Thank you, Dr. Chelsi Day. 

What happens when life gets a little bit stressful? Or hard to manage? How do you cope, handle, and manage stress in your day to day life? This episode, we talk about how we cope and manage stress when things get heavy and overwhelming. Our remedies may not work for everyone, however talking about stress is something that is a stress reliever in itself. We hope you find some tools, ideas, or even just peace of mind in this conversation, and peace amongst whatever chaos you are enduring.
