About this listen

Former starting quarterback Joel Stave led the Wisconsin Badgers for 31 wins between 2012 and 2015, and to this day, Stave remains the Badgers’ all-time winningest quarterback. But success isn’t only about the wins or the completed passes, and in one of the lows–and highs–of his life so far, Stave battled and overcame the yips. And although only some athletes will experience the yips or the twisties, all athletes will confront life after sports. For a perspective on making the transition from a life-permeating identity to whatever comes next, host Justin Su’a talks with Adriana Duffy-Hörling, a former gymnast and current professor of law who competed for Puerto Rico on the world stage.  

  • Adriana Duffy-Hörling, a former gymnast and present day professor of law at Santa Clara University School of Law
  • Joel Stave, former quarterback for the Wisconsin Badgers
