Episode #54- Running Through It: Maddie Mooney

What happens when the sport you've built your identity around is suddenly challenged by injury, loss, and the pressure to perform? This week on The Dadger, Maddie shares her journey from a young runner in Colorado to competing at the University of Wisconsin, navigating the recruiting process, adjusting to the NCAA level, and learning who she was beyond her results. We dive deep into the realities of injuries, grief, mental health, athlete identity, and the importance of using your platform to create change. Maddie also talks about content creation, advocacy, and why women's voices deserve a larger spotlight in sports. Whether you're a current athlete, former competitor, coach, parent, or simply someone navigating challenges of your own, this conversation is a powerful reminder that growth often happens far beyond the finish line.
