With realistic dreams of going to the Rio Olympics for the Canadian women’s soccer team, Caroline Szwed experienced a career ending knee injury while playing for West Virginia University. As a result, she shifted her career to sports journalism, ultimately landing an on-camera role for Toronto Football Club (TFC), and then later becoming a host on Sportsnet in Toronto. She hosts multiple shows including Misplays of the Month, Plays of the Month, and WWE Aftermath.
Caroline opens up about her injury and resulting long-lasting anxiety, depression, and the tools she now uses to combat it. We get into her dream to open a shelter for rescue dogs in Hawaii, and using social media to try to make a difference in the world.

The J-Cut Podcast is a weekly podcast hosted by me - independent filmmaker Mike Chantaj - where I sit down to talk with other creative people about their careers, passions and lives. The hope is to expand people's ideas about what kinds of creative careers are out there, be it in film, art, music and more.
