Why She Walked Away from a Full Scholarship- Ava Caravela- Episode 149 148

I'm really excited about today's guest because I finally got to complete the Caravela family trifecta. I've had the privilege of interviewing both her father, Tom, and her brother, Dean, and after those conversations, they both told me the same thing: "You've got to have Ava on the show."And they were right.Ava's story is about so much more than gymnastics. It's about sacrifice, resilience, and having the courage to keep moving forward when life throws unexpected challenges your way. She dedicated her childhood to one of the toughest sports in the world, earned the opportunity to compete at the University of Pennsylvania, battled through serious injuries, and then successfully transitioned into the demanding world of investment banking in New York City.In today's conversation, we'll talk about the discipline it takes to pursue excellence, how she handled adversity throughout her athletic career, what she learned as an Ivy League student-athlete, and how those same lessons continue to drive her success in business today. If you're an athlete, a coach, a parent, or someone striving to be your best, I think you'll take something away from Ava's journey.Please join me in welcoming gymnast, Ivy League graduate, investment banker, and an outstanding young professional, Ava Caravela.
