Episode 46: The Olympics, Athlete Development, and Storytelling in Sport with Mac Morse

Fresh off a summer in Paris with Team USA, Mac Morse joins Katie and Elena this week to share her perspectives and wisdom gained from a career working in athlete development with the best of the best. We cover Mac’s own career as an elite athlete, her entrepreneurial path to creating The Sideline Perspective—a platform for injured and retired athletes to find support and community—and her current role in Athlete Development with the US Olympic & Paralympic Committee. We dive deeper into the business of sport and how we can unpack the nuances of its impact through owning our narratives, both internally and externally. And we get a bonus treat of her poetry! This episode is about humanizing all athletes, from the recreational runners to the Olympic champions, and it isn’t one to be missed! Check out The Sideline Perspective on Instagram, online, or through their podcast! View extended show notes for this episode here.
