Managing the MADness Episode 9 - The Definition of Grit with Maddie and Sydney Sheehan
In this episode, you'll meet sisters Maddie and Sydney Sheehan. Both were standout youth athletes in their respective sports, volleyball and soccer. Raised in Cedar Park, TX, they both earned Division 1 scholarships to schools outside their home state.
However, after successful starts to their college careers, both Maddie and Sydney suffered career-ending concussions within months of each other and decided to move back home to finish their education.
Their story revolves around learning how to deal with adversity, finding your voice and standing up for yourself, and how the bonds of family draw in even closer and prop you up when things don't go the way you expected.
A great watch for any parent or athlete looking to play at the college level or bouncing back from an injury.
