To The Mountaintop
To The Mountaintop is a social-emotional podcast series where professional athletes raised in San Diego share their journeys. From the mountains they climbed, to the valleys they walked, they provide the fuel to inspire San Diego students as they ascend, as they soar, as they struggle, as they dream and as they grit their way to the mountaintop. To help capture the heart, soul, fears and challenges of the athletes, To The Mountaintop is co-hosted by students from the alma mater of each athlete! A generation or more apart, we learn from the student and the athlete what it took and what it takes to power through life built upon a solid foundation, and able to grow, scaffold and soar through the boulders and inclement weather life will bring on the way to the mountaintop.
