In this episode of The Sports Influence Podcast, we go back to where it all began — exploring the roots of an athlete. Before results or recognition, there was family, community, and the first people who believed in us. We unpack how our upbringing, early environments, and first coaches shaped our mindset, discipline, and drive. It’s a look at how the foundation is built long before the first big win — and why understanding those roots matters for every athlete.
