🎙️ Episode 4: The Road Less Played

What happens when an athlete chooses not to follow the path everyone expects?

In this episode of Sideline Sessions, guest Corrin Cashio shares her emotional and courageous decision to walk away from the sport she’s played since the age of 5—even after receiving college offers. With vulnerability and strength, she talks us through the mental weight of stepping away, the reactions she received, and how her first year in college has unfolded without the identity of "student-athlete."

Also in this episode, Cruz opens up about his own uncertain future as injuries threaten to change his role on the field. What does life look like when the game you love might no longer be an option?

For athletes, parents, and anyone standing at a crossroads, this one hits deep. This conversation is a must-listen for student-athletes, parents, and anyone navigating big life pivots.
