College Athletics w/ Bucknell University Women's Lacrosse Head Coach Jackie Dando (part 1)

Todays guest is Bucknell University’s Women’s lacrosse head coach, Jackie Dando. Bucknell University competes at the division one level, in the prestigious patriot league, and has had a tradition of many strong athletic programs. 

Building off of last episode, Cole and EJ wanted to continue the theme of navigating the college athletics process- and Coach Dando offers some great insight for the path that student athletes should be on if they want to pursue college athletics.

Some things discussed throughout this episode are:

· What characteristics coaches are looking at when recruiting athletes.

· The level of commitment it takes to play at the collegiate level.

· Advice for parents going through this process with their kids. 

· The importance of academics….and many more.

This episode was so impactful that we decided to split it up into two parts, so be sure to look for part 2 of our conversation in two weeks.
