Kayla (she/her) is a High School athlete finishing her senior season, the first on the show so far! She gives Sus the rundown on how changing schools led her to rugby in the first place. Sus is totally impressed by the leadership skills she’s already developed & captaining her HS team, & the two share on the struggles of finding healthy eating & exercise habits & relationship to body image. The convo dives into how Kayla’s ARPTC residency marked a turning point in her life, finding her way out of a “dark place”, & how she was able to start to appreciate her abilities in a new way. They finish up with thoughts about rugby after HS graduation & how powerful it can be to find friendships with teammates who help you navigate life. How do Iowa HS selects & hand-me-down rugby shorts tie into Kayla’s story? Listen all the way to the end to find out! ?

As always, WITH YOU is looking for more guests to come on the show! If you’ve ever been part of a womxn’s rugby program, I want to hear from you ? Find a participation survey on our website About page or email Sus for more info.
