“That is the fun part for me – being able to be pushed to my limits, be out there doing it with other strong women, working off each other, and having a great coach and support staff. That's so fun to me: the really, truly hard work. There's just so much I love about this sport and this team, but that's definitely how I would describe this first semester so far. It's just been so much fun. I'm really looking forward to building with this team and just continuing to work hard and make some memories.”My guest for today's episode is Jane Hedengren, and if the last few months are any indication, we're watching the very beginning of something special. She is one of the biggest breakout stars of 2025.Just two weeks after finishing runner-up at the NCAA Cross Country Championships as a true freshman at BYU, Jane stepped onto the track in Boston and ran 14:44.79 for 5,000 meters, shattering the collegiate record — indoor and outdoor — and immediately vaulting herself to No. 2 on the U.S. all-time list indoors.Jane came out of high school as one of the most decorated prep distance runners ever, becoming the first high school girl to break 15 minutes for 5,000 meters and setting nine national high school records along the way. She arrived at BYU this fall, dominated her collegiate cross country debut, won conference and regional titles, and then went toe-to-toe with Doris Lemngole at the NCAA Championships, finishing second on the biggest stage.In our conversation, Jane talks openly about gratitude, patience, and keeping expectations from overshadowing the joy of competition. She reflects on how her training has become more intentional under Coach Diljeet Taylor, why fueling more has been a game-changer, and how learning to race with a level head has helped her grow faster — and happier — at the same time.We also look ahead to the Millrose Games, where she'll line up in the 3,000 meters against Lemngole — a race that puts Katelyn Tuohy's 8:35.20 collegiate record firmly on watch — and what it means to develop inside a program that prioritizes long-term growth over short-term results.____________Host: Chris Chavez | ⁠⁠⁠@chris_j_chavez on Instagram⁠⁠Guest: Jane Hedengren | ⁠@janehedengren on Instagram⁠ Produced by: Jasmine Fehr |⁠ ⁠⁠⁠@jasminefehr on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSNOMIO: Made with 80% broccoli sprout juice, 15% lemon juice, and 5% sugar, Nomio activates your body's natural defense systems to reduce lactate, speed recovery, and enhance muscle adaptation.

Our Coaches Corner series continues this week with Florida Head Coach Jenny Rowland, who is heading into her 11th season with the Gators.

She is one of the greatest basketball coaches in history, and an inspiration to generations of young women. Tara VanDerveer was head coach of the Stanford Women's Basketball team for 38 seasons. She led her team to three NCAA Championships. She also led the national women's basketball team to a gold medal at the 1996 Olympics.

Today on Better Than I Found It we welcome back long-time Georgia Tech head coach, Bruce Heppler. Bruce recently announced that he would be retiring after the 2025-2026 season, ending his 31 year tenure at Georgia Tech. In those 31 years he made 22 trips to the NCAA Championship, had 13 top-8 finishes, and was runner-up to the national champion 4 times. He has won 14 ACC-Championships, and is 10-time ACC Coach of the Year and a National Dave Williams Coach of the Year. He is in both the GCA Hall of Fame and the Georgia Golf Hall of Fame.

Angel Reese is Jussie Smollett 2.0. Have we learned nothing? On today's episode of "Fearless," Jason tackles the media storm surrounding Angel Reese's latest play for racial victimhood after a blowout loss to Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever on WNBA opening day. Despite her poor performance and emotional meltdown, Reese is once again being defended by the usual suspects — Ryan Clark, Emmanuel Acho, and others desperate to reframe criticism as racism. Meanwhile, more grounded voices like Robert Griffin III are calling it for what it is: personal hatred masquerading as activism. Jason breaks down the receipts — from Reese's taunts in the NCAA Championship to her ongoing obsession with belittling Clark. Caitlin Clark made Reese famous, and ever since, Reese has been determined to rewrite the story as one of oppression instead of obsession. But that's only the tip of the iceberg. The show also dives into the escalating tension between media personalities Ryan Clark and RG3. Is this really about the WNBA, or is there something deeper brewing between the two? Jason and Steve Kim analyze the underlying dynamics — identity, ideology, and even family life. Does RG3's interracial marriage play a role in his worldview? Why does Ryan Clark bend the knee so quickly to black female idolatry? Later in the show, Shemeka Michelle joins the conversation and offers her take on the deeper motivations behind the Clark-Reese dynamic and the Clark-Griffin debate. This episode is packed with the truth bombs mainstream media won't touch. Don't miss a minute — only on "Fearless." ​​Today's Sponsors: PreBorn PreBorn empowers women facing unplanned pregnancies to choose life by offering free ultrasounds and compassionate support.
