Welcome to the RU Strong Podcast, where we dive deep into the journeys of athletes who have faced adversity head on and come out stronger.I'm your host, Jeff Durr, and today, we have a story of resilience, faith, and personal growth.
Joining us is Kya Enos, a former University of Maine softball player whose journey was shaped by unwavering dedication, the guidance of her mother, and an unshakable commitment to self-improvement. From the overwhelming pressures ofthe recruiting process to the struggles of homesickness, anxiety, and the unknown, Kya found herself questioning everything. Four concussions, moments of doubt, and the weight of expectations made her journey anything but easy.
But instead of quitting, Kya chose to put in the work, not just on the field, but within herself. She learned that finding balance, routine, and self-discipline was key. She embraced positive self-talk, practiced gratitude, and leaned on her teammates, her army, to push forward. She realized that true success isn’t just about performance; it's about efficiency, patience, and trusting in God’s plan.
Kya’s story is a testament to the power of perseverance, theimportance of grounding yourself, and the strength in embracing who you are, body, mind, and soul. Ifyou’ve ever doubted your path, struggled with self-expectations, or feared the unknown, this episode is for you.
Stick to what you’re good at, trust the process, and remember, success isn’t just about talent, it’sabout the habits you build and the mindset you carry.
Let’s get into it, here’s Kya Enos on the RU Strong Podcast.
