It’s the holiday season! Bring on the holiday foods! For this episode, we talked all things food. Because let’s be honest, we love it. Especially all the home cooking that’s about to go down! (I'm getting hungry already!) We also talked about the new year and went over nutritional tips and advice on how to begin planning your year to stay fueled so you can tackle all your big goals! 

Our guest today is no stranger to the Woven Athlete Community. We had her on the podcast before on episode 014, and we needed more from her. So today you get to hear from Pro Athlete and Registered Sports Dietitian, Corinna Coffin! She is the best. If you haven't heard our last episode with her, then do yourself a favor and go back to listen! (We'll even make it easy and link it below😉) We caught up and chatted about the last 3 months of her life (weddings, ACL Recovery, and more). Then we jump in to the meat and potatoes of conversation (pun intended). 

As a Registered Sports Dietitian and Nutritionist, Corinna breaks down the upcoming holiday season for us. She helps us all check ourselves and make sure we have the right expectations and behavior around food and the holiday season, and how to set ourselves up for a good 2023! Do we skip breakfast to make room for Thanksgiving dinner? How about dessert, should we skip the sugary holiday treats? How do we prepare for 2023? Well, I guess you're going to have to listen to find out all the details! This is a fun one!

Series: "Overcomers"

Whether Drugs, Alcohol, or Violence, we prevail. Our goal in this series is to learn from the stories of those who have graduated from the "School of Hardnocks."

In this episode, we sat down with Endurance Athlete, OIF Veteran, Man of Faith, and Sobriety Advocate, Scott Giltner. Scott was an avid baseball player from a good family, until, alcohol was introduced to him as a kid by a person of authority in his life. Everything changed from then on. He shares with us his journey through alcoholism, time spent in the military, and how it all came to a boiling point. It wasn't until he found himself in the cell of his jail that it all... well, I guess you'll have to listen to find out! And trust me, you'll want to listen. What an inspiring turn of events! We left this recording feeling encouraged and inspired and we hope you do too. 

This episode is number 3 in our current series, "Overcomers" so make sure you go back and listen to the first two episodes with Mat Quinlan and Summer Peterson! This may be our favorite series yet.. but shhhh don't tell anyone!

“Getting called out was what caused things to shift.” - Summer Peterson

In this episode, we sat down with Former D1 NCAA Soccer player and Respiratory Therapist, Summer Peterson. Summer lived a decent upbringing and was always a competitor. Though partying in high school was on the regular, it wasn't until she was playing Division 1 Soccer and trying to find her way in college, that drugs were introduced. After doing the typical college weekend partying, trying a drug one time quickly became an every weekend necessity. Summer admits that she dug her hand a little too deep into the scene and things had to change. Great episode and story about overcoming the addiction that comes from telling yourself you need it. We had a great time with Summer and we talk with her about Soccer, Mexican Food, faith, and sports mentality and how it’s changing overtime.

How do athletes perform the way they do after what they have witnessed or been through? 

**Listener's discretion advised.

In this episode, we interview Mat Quinlan. Mat had to learn how to do life at age 6, after watching a family member take a beating. From there, he never had the support that you would expect and hope any child would get. Leading into middle school and high school, gangs became family. It wasn’t until he met a kid from school that would spend time with him over donuts and hot chocolate during class, that things would begin to change. Mat brings us along his childhood story, one that is riddled with abuse and neglect, and how he chose to never adopt a “victim” mentality. Faith and family became a huge part of his journey. But today's episode isn't all hard stories but is one filled with hope and joy. We also spend time laughing and talking Spartan races and competition. 

Mat is an example of grit, never giving up, and choosing to rise and overcome the difficulties of life.

Dr. John has also played a key role in the Medical team as Co-Captain for arguably the worlds most famous 100 mile race, the Western States. You'll hear more about some studies the team is discovering with athletes performance in such an excruciating event.
