Oh to be a young athlete again. I guess we’re now the elders? The advice givers? Whatever you want to call us, we’re okay with that. A young athlete’s mind is…innocent. That mind hasn’t seen “the world” yet. So what did we want to do? We wanted to share everything we would tell our younger selves if given a trip in the Delorean. If you’re a current high school or college athlete then you’re going to love this. If you know a current high or college athlete, you’re going to want to send them this. If you were a high school or college athlete, then you’re going to want this trip down memory lane. 🔔 If you enjoyed the episode, share with a friend!
