Life After Sport: There's More to It

By Life After Sport: There's More to It

Greta Ell and Liv Gott are eager to introduce you to Life After Sport: There’s More to It; a podcast by two former Virginia Cavaliers who played different sports and had completely different experiences, yet upon graduating in 2019 had one very common question, what do we do when our sport ends? No matter the sport you played, the level you competed at or even how your career ended, no one prepares you for that transition from being a college student athlete to a young professional figuring it out in the real world. So tune in and let's figure it out together!
