Madison Olszewski takes us on an extraordinary journey from Elyria, Ohio, through the highs and lows of her collegiate sports career. Listen as she recounts her initial struggles at Cedarville University's strict religious environment, which eventually led her to transfer to Notre Dame College. Madison gives us a closer look at the intense demands and rigorous schedules that college athletes face, providing a rare glimpse into the resilience and discipline required even at non-Division I levels.
Ever wondered what it's like to manage the physical and mental tolls of being a student-athlete? This episode uncovers the often underappreciated effort required, with personal anecdotes from Madison's training schedules and experiences at Notre Dame College and Bethany College. From early morning practices in indoor facilities to grueling winter sessions, we highlight the commitment needed to balance academics with athletics. Also, Madison shares how this intense workload contrasts with the more relaxed life post-college, emphasizing the dedication necessary to succeed in sports.
