Your setbacks are not roadblocks but the slingshots that propel you toward your true potential. In this episode, we sit down with the remarkable Ana Miroslavic, former player and coach of competitive water polo. Today, she shares how her resilience journey and its transformative setbacks led her to develop the “Next Play Mentality.” As Ana opens up about her personal growth, she reflects on her younger years, when she felt disconnected from her faith and later discovering the power of truly listening and connecting with it during her graduate studies at Biola University. Her most profound revelation came during her water polo journey, where she had to accept and trust that God had different plans for her, redirecting her path towards a higher purpose. As the conversation progresses, Ana discusses the pressure society places on us to impress others, constantly striving to meet external expectations. However, she emphasizes the importance of shifting focus to the audience of one—God himself. By optimizing our choices based on their impact on eternity, we unlock a bigger game that encompasses collaboration and positively influences people’s lives.
