Episode 2: Avery Petty | Soccer | The College Freshman Experience

In this episode of the MOMENTUM Podcast, we’re joined by Minnesota Gophers women’s soccer player and Hopkins High School alum Avery Petty.As a freshman navigating her first collegiate season, we reflect on her lifelong journey through playing soccer in Minnesota; from playing for Hopkins High School as a captain to stepping onto the field for her first game as a Gopher at the University of Minnesota. We dive into what it’s like adjusting to college life, building connections with teammates, and leaning on support systems when things get tough.With both of us being freshmen in college from rival schools, we talked about our old high school rivalry and shared some laughs and funny memories from high school. We even had to bring ChatGPT into the discussion when I asked a question that stumped both of us…This was a really fun one to make, so sit back, relax, and open your mind. And as always, don’t forget to share this with your friends so we can shed as much light to these overlooked sports as we can. I’m Nate Unger, and this is Avery Petty on the MOMENTUM Podcast.
