International Student-Athlete Podcast
The International Student-Athlete Podcast exists to give voice and a platform to international student-athletes in the United States. We are dedicated to sharing stories, exchanging advice, and providing insights that make the college journey more manageable, rewarding, and empowering. Through honest conversations and practical guidance, we aim to support international student-athletes in navigating academics, athletics, and life away from home.
Our vision is to build a connected community of international student-athletes in the U.S. — a space where experiences are celebrated, resources are shared, and challenges are transformed into opportunities. By amplifying diverse voices and fostering connection, we aspire to become a trusted resource that helps international student-athletes thrive on campus and create the life they dream about.
