Ep. 7 | Life of a collegiate athlete, training high-level swimmers, and the benefits of becoming a more robust athlete with Arianna Luther

In this conversation, I speak with Arianna Luther, a sports performance coach at Bracy Performance in Chicago. We discuss Arianna's background in college athletics and her transition from the collegiate sector to the private sector.
