Well, HOTYR listeners, this might just be our favorite episode yet. For this episode, we at down to talk with two members of the University of California San Diego Women’s Tennis team, Julianna Sabile and Clara Puscasiu. We discuss everything from the transition from high school to college athletics, what it’s like to be a part of a D1 tennis team, and the lifestyle of a student athlete to overcoming injuries, forming lifelong friendships, and how the recent success of so many former college tennis players on the pro tour has inspired Clara and Julianna. Julianna and Clara also discuss the unique experience of being a female student athlete, highlighting some of their team’s own activism to combat sexist discrepancies in the treatment of the men’s and women’s tennis teams at their university and also providing some much needed insight into the intersection between female athleticism, body image, and stigma. As a TW, we do want to note that we discuss eating disorders and body image from 14:54-16:50. We are so excited to share this episode with you and highly recommend it for anyone interested in or considering college athletics as a path forward! Go Tritons!
