Each sport and each individual has had a unique perspective on the return to fall sports. We decided to get one person from each fall sport in the same space (and when we say space we mean zoom) to have an open conversation and share experiences on what the past few months has been like from them and their respective teams. Jake Marwede from football, Mia Gyau from women’s soccer, Will Pulisic from men’s soccer, Alex Springate from volleyball, Olivia Sahaydak from field hockey and CJ Ambrosio from cross country join Rebecca Fiorentino on this week’s episode.

After four decades of service as both a coach and administrator at Duke University, Jacki Silar will retire from her position as Senior Associate Director of Athletics at the end of June.

Silar is also the lone Senior Woman Administrator in Duke Athletics history, holding the post since its inception in the 90s. Silar and host, Rebecca Fiorentino talk about her transition from coaching to administration, how the athletic department has evolved in the 41 years she’s been at Duke, plus advice she has for future student-athletes, coaches and administrators.
