Student-Athlete PODCAST: Recent Episodes
Ama Nsek
Ama Nsek, former SoCal HS and Team USA athlete discusses the ideas that enter every high school athletes mind at some point. It's about training as a high school athlete or collegiate athlete. With the focus primarily on cycling, we delve into the topics that every student-athlete should know.
This episode is actually a part of my brothers podcast: Business and Bikes. However, this was an episode that I did with Ethan about the crazy process it was our first month together, the highs and lows of our season together, and finishing off the year with Nationals and setting the stage for 2020. It's a very exciting episode and I thought it would be great to display on our podcast as well. If you like how this one goes, check out his podcast and subscribe.
