Finding Sports Science After College Softball.
Episode: #035.
Ceara Larson.Athlete: Softball.
Ceara Larson didn’t just play college softball.
At the same time, she was building a path in science.
In this episode, we unpack what it looks like to balance both, and what happens when those two worlds don’t unfold the way you expected.
From navigating college softball through COVID, injury, and uncertainty, to working in sports science with the Toronto Blue Jays, Ceara shares what it actually takes to build a career in sport beyond being an athlete.
But along the way, things didn’t quite unfold as expected.
What she thought sports science would be… wasn’t quite right. And that led to a completely new direction, moving to Australia to pursue a PhD in skill acquisition and finding a different way to stay connected to the game.
This is a conversation about:
balancing sport and academics
navigating life after college sport
the reality of working in sports science
refining your path when things don’t feel right
and finding your place in sport again, in a different way.
If you’ve ever tried to figure out how your passions fit together, this one will resonate.
