Life's A Beach

by Alexia Inman

In this podcast I focus on the totality of the college athletics experience and the impacts this experience has on an athlete’s mental health and wellness. Myself and various guests come on to share stories of what has been successful and what has not been successful for them as thy enter and as they leave the world of college athletics. Through these solo episodes and interviews, I work to give listeners ideas, tools, stories and most importantly a sense of comfort in knowing you are not alone in your struggle navigating through the confusing world of student athlete lifestyle.
