What happens when the thing you love most—your sport, your dream, your identity—gets taken away?

In this episode of the Two16 Studio Podcast, we sit down with Zach Vogel, leader of Identity Sports, to talk about identity, performance pressure, anxiety, and true freedom in Christ. Zach shares his journey from a childhood baseball dream to being diagnosed with Long QT syndrome and told he’d never play sports again—followed by years of depression and panic attacks—until Scripture, community, and surrender reshaped everything.

We also explore:

Why athletes struggle with performance-based identity

How to recognize and remove identity lies

What it means to “play free”

How Identity Sports uses live events + digital media to reach athletes worldwide

The mic-drop truth Zach would tell his younger self: “You are enough.”
