About this listen

 Have you ever thought that Athletes are just some people who are gifted with special talent or abilities at birth? Week after week, season after season, we revel in injury time winners, full-court buzzer-beaters, and split-second finishes by these athletes. But, do we truly know the athletes making such spectacles possible for us? To understand what it takes & means to be an athlete, I, Niraj Mulani, speak to them every week as we get candid about their personal stories, memorable achievements, heartbreaks, & more. If you're an aspiring athlete or a casual sports fan, you’ll enjoy The Gifted?!Niraj Mulani
