About this listen

Ever wondered how athletes manage the mental gymnastics of juggling multiple sports? Join us for an enlightening conversation with our guest, Ben, who shares his personal journey as both a soccer player and a football kicker. Explore the unique pressures faced by athletes like Ben, who are caught between passions and potential scholarships. We dive into the strategic minds of quarterbacks, the physical grit of linemen, and the delicate balance kickers must maintain amidst all the chaos. Ben opens up about his own post-game rituals and meals, providing a raw look at how athletes strive to find joy in the game despite the relentless pressures.

But that's not all—our discussion takes a turn into the digital age, as we tackle the formidable presence of social media in today's life. Platforms like Snapchat, Instagram, and TikTok have become woven into our daily routines, making the prospect of reducing screen time a challenging feat. We examine the addictive nature of these platforms and discuss strategies for balancing online presence with real-world experiences. As we wrap up, we leave our listeners with a dose of encouragement to embrace their youth, engage in sports, and truly savor the high school journey while growing and learning along the way.
