In the Season 1 recap episode, Sam reflects on all of her “cool friends” and the lessons she learned while having them on as guests. Sam divulges the goal of her podcast, which is to educate and inspire while covering topics related to gymnastics. Sam travels quite a bit and she noticed that no matter where she went, people always asked her for advice, tips, training plans and strategies for gymnastics. This thirst for knowledge in the gymnastics world led her to start I Have Cool Friends, which now has over 56,000 downloads in over 108 countries! From life lessons with Valorie Kondos and Laurie Hernandez to the evolution of gymnastics with Betty Okino, there’s a little bit of everything for listeners who love the sport and those who just want to learn more.
