Episode Synopsis

The reality of college club sports! In this honest conversation, Alyxandra sits down with her best friend and former MSU Club Volleyball teammate Liz Ko to expose the truth about court anxiety, playing time politics, and what college club sports are really like.Liz shares her journey from planning to not play volleyball after high school to accidentally making the MSU club team. We talk about the reality of less playing time, how one coach can destroy your confidence while another can rebuild it, and why being pitted against your own teammates for positions creates wounds that last long after the season ends.But this isn't just about the struggles - it's about finding your way through them. We discuss how court anxiety doesn't have to end your career, why your worth isn't determined by your playing time, and how sometimes the best thing that can happen is finding a friend who gets it."If it wasn't for volleyball, I don't know if we would've ever crossed paths. Neither of us thought we were gonna be playing in college and look where it got us."Whether you're dealing with anxiety, frustrated with playing time, or wondering if college sports are worth the mental toll - you're not alone. This is for every athlete who's ever questioned if they belong.Guest: Liz Ko (@lizbizko)Host: Alyxandra (@sheacedthat)New episodes every Wednesday!
