In this inspiring episode of The We Are All Awesome Show, powered by WiddyUP, hosts Carter and Randy sit down with Bryce Jackson, one of WiddyUP’s standout student leaders and a freshman at Augustana College. Bryce opens up about his journey from Houston to Illinois, adjusting to college life 16 hours away from home, and balancing academics, athletics, and friendships. From his days as a fast kid on the playground to running track at the collegiate level, Bryce shares how passion, discipline, and a strong support system helped shape his path.
He also dives deep into his defining moment, a serious hamstring injury that sparked his desire to pursue kinesiology and become a physical therapist. Through self-discovery, mentorship, and perseverance, Bryce’s story highlights what it means to step outside your comfort zone, stay mentally strong through setbacks, and find purpose in every challenge. Whether you’re a student, parent, or coach, this episode is a powerful reminder that success starts with focus, resilience, and belief in your own potential.
🔑 Key Takeaways:
