Introducing our next guest,  Mackenzie St.  Onge!  Mac is a recent graduate of Dartmouth College where she majored in psychology and played both ice hockey and rugby.  Spending majority of her life as a multi-sport athlete, finding herself on the sideline on multiple occasions:  first when she finished her collegiate hockey career, and the second when she broke her collarbone playing rugby. In our episode we talk about how she felt isolated, frustrated, and lost in many moments in he career and how starting the conversation about these thing brought her a great sense of peace that she was not alone.. The more she started the conversation, the more questions came up on how all athletes should navigate everyday things like diet and exercise, as well as the bigger topics like identity, purpose, and self-growth outside of our sports. With those conversations Mac created The Sideline Perspective as a way to bring all together – both as athletes and people – to create a supportive community for answering these questions.  Not only does she dive into her story in this episode, but she dives into some answers to the many questions we all face from the sideline. We greatly were inspired by Mac & know you will be after listening to this episode too.

Hello beautiful humans! This episode we were honored to speak with former collegiate athlete, Cara Park, and learn about her journey from high school to college; specifically her unique experience of having to medically disqualify from the game of volleyball her freshman year of college. Cara opened up to us and shared her moments of struggle, how she was able to overcome the toughest times, her remedies and most helpful resources, and positive takeaways from her experience. She also provides some very valuable advice to coaches, and players who may be experiencing similar situations to hers both physically and mentally. This episode was an emotional one, as Cara is very passionate when it comes to athletes being treated as people, above all else. There is no doubt she will touch the hearts of anyone who is listening. So with that being said, it is my pleasure to introduce Cara Park.
