In this episode of Sports Will Save Us All, host Sasha Graham sits down with Wake Forest football player and senior Walker Ferguson—a high school lacrosse standout turned gridiron warrior—who’s redefining what it means to be a student-athlete.
Walker opens up about navigating the brutal curveballs of COVID, grinding it out on the Wake Forest scout team, and making the leap from cleats to code as co-creator of Ascend Meditations—an AI-powered app designed to help athletes conquer stress and stay mentally sharp.
This conversation hits hard on themes of resilience, reinvention, and mental toughness, as Walker shares how switching sports, weathering coaching transitions, and building a business from scratch shaped his drive on and off the field.
You can find the Ascend App in the App Store by searching for Ascend Meditations and they are on all of the socials @ascendapp.ai.
