Episode Description

How does someone juggle a chronic illness and the demands of being a two-sport college athlete, all while attending class full time? You’re about to find out. 

Meet Becca: Becca first got sick in 2014 and has been battling multiple health issues ever since, notably POTS. But this past year, after a long time of not playing because of her illnesses, she stepped onto the basketball court as a college walk-on!

I had to know how she did it, and Becca and I go into some great detail as she outlines how she went from a sedentary life to running up and down the court. Spoiler alert: it did not happen overnight.

Becca also has some battle-tested advice on how to navigate chronic illnesses while in high school. If you have a young Spoonie in your life, this interview is for them.

So take a timeout and huddle up, because Becca has the playbook for how she went from the hospital to the hardwood on this week's The Chronic Illness Playbook.

P.S. Go Lady Wolfpack!
