The College Athlete Podcast With Skip Donald

This is my story. For this episode its just me, Skip, sitting down late night talking about the importance of mental health and how it has affected me throughout my 22 years on Earth. The first half of this episode talks about how different aspects of life growing up can cause mental health issues and the second half explains ways to turn life around, how to seek help and ways to get out of depression. 

Episode 13 was all gymnastics talk. I get together with a University of Florida gymnast, SEC Champion, NCAA Runner-Up and Fourth place finalist, and scholar; Leah Clapper. Leah talked about the differences between Elite gymnastics and NCAA gymnastics as well as being a vegetarian her whole life. Leah also goes on to explain the student-athlete NIL world and how well she has built her own name, image, and likeness.

In this episode I sat down with a Ukrainian national diver turned track star and back. Anton Svirskyi (2x SEC champion and NCAA All-American at the University of Florida) talked about growing up with the struggles of the Ukraine war, moving to the United States as well as the process of not only transferring schools but transferring sports at the same time.
