Episode 54. Helping Female Athletes Balance Sport with Life: A Conversation with Taylor Treacy, Creator of The Virago Project
HOW DO YOU WANT TO LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE?
SHOW NOTES
We often think that athletes have the perfect life. They’re looked up to and seem to have it all together. But as you’ll learn in this episode, that’s not the case!
Taylor Treacy, creator of The Virago Project, talks to us about mindset shifts she made as a player, her goal-setting routine, and advice she has for athletes hoping to play in college.
The Virago Project was started in 2018 to help female athletes balance sports with life… and I highly recommend you (and your players) check it out!
In the second half of the show, we get to talking about starting and running a sports-related business as women. I walk listeners through a lot of struggles I face with running Get The Pancake and Taylor shares some of her challenges as well. My hope is that women listening who are thinking about opening their own sports-related business will take the first step towards realizing their dream. There are more and more of us in the space, but there’s room for everyone!
