Episode Synopsis

Today we have a very special guest — someone who has remained in the top 16 world rankings for men's foil each year since 2012: Alexander Massialas. We'll talk about three big topics:His own fencing career — how he got started, his Olympic experiences, and what keeps him competing at the highest level.His new role as a collegiate coach — why he chose this path, what it’s like to coach at Stanford, and advice for young fencers hoping to fence in college.How he balances it all — competing internationally while also leading one of the country’s most prestigious fencing programs.And at the end, we’ll wrap up with a fresh round of Quick Hits, where we’ll hit Alex with five fast, quirky questions that’ll put him on the spot in the best way possible.
