Kristin Slater has lived every version of a comeback—college soccer star, pro athlete, mom, and breast cancer survivor. She’s played through pressure, pivoted careers, and rebuilt her identity more than once. In this episode, we talk about what competition teaches you when the lights go out—how to lead, adapt, and fight your way through the toughest chapters. It’s about grit, growth, and learning that sometimes the biggest wins happen long after the final whistle.
