Episode 8: Samantha Dodge

About this episode

Breton Hunt interviews Samantha Dodge about her journey as a dual-sport athlete and the importance of mental health in athletics.

In this episode of Unstuck, I sat down with Samantha Dodge, a former dual-sport athlete who is now a coach, podcaster and pursuing her masters degree at New Mexico State University. We discussed Samantha's journey through sports, the challenges of transitioning from basketball to soccer, and the importance of mental health in athletics. Samantha shared her experiences of feeling stuck, the role of faith in overcoming challenges, and how she balances her busy life as a coach, student, and wife. The conversation also touches on the significance of sharing stories and redefining success as progress rather than results.
