25 - Guest Expert: Myles Mensah, Student Athlete, Balancing Academics & Sports in College

Dr. Tara Egan, co-host
Anna, teenage co-host
Dylan, guest co-host
Myles Mensah, student athlete from Hofstra University

This episode was a family affair; Anna's younger brother, Dylan joined Tara and Anna to welcome their special guest, Myles Mensah (former Hofstra University athlete) to talk about "Balancing Academics & Sports in College". It is a great episode to listen to with your athletes, even those still a few years out from college.

Myles started playing sports at a very young age and proceeded through little league, to travel teams, all the way to playing baseball at a Division 1 college. He shared what it was like playing sports at that level in college and balancing academics.

We talk about; what parents can do to best support their athlete, how much involvement is best for parents, and what the recruitment process looks like.

Myles shared a lot of great insight and tips about mindset, time management, managing the demands of college athletes at that level.

He also shared some mistakes  he had made in the beginning of college and how he course corrected for later college years. What he really made clear was what a great experience it was overall, not just on the field, but off, and how it benefited him as a post graduate adult.

To learn more about Myles and what he is up to he can be found on Social Media, on his Podcast "Student Athlete Combo", and his website, studentathletecombo.com.
