Andy Whittier joins Target Talk to share his unexpected path from walk-on college football player to Team USA Skeleton athlete. He breaks down what it was like growing up in Pocatello, Idaho, his time at Idaho State, and the setbacks that forced him to pivot after college. We get into how he discovered Skeleton, what training actually looks like, and the mindset shift it took to chase something completely new.
Andy also talks about what it means to represent the U.S. on the world stage, the lessons sports have taught him about resilience, and how he’s still pushing to be the best version of himself. This is an episode about discipline, reinvention, and betting on yourself when the road changes.
