What happens when three record-breaking high school athletes gather to share their journeys? Pure inspiration.
Brothers With Opinions welcomes Emeryce Worrell, Rylan Stribling, and Hassan Akanbi – three extraordinary talents from John Handey High School who are redefining athletic excellence in their community and beyond.
Emeryce, now attending the prestigious University of Virginia, reveals how she captured five state track championships while simultaneously leading Handley's soccer team to their first-ever state title. With 104 career soccer goals and multiple athletic honors, she discusses the challenges of having "a target on her back" during senior year and how she maintained her focus despite mounting pressure.
Meanwhile, Rylan Stibling, described by hosts as having Olympic potential, shares insights into his training mentality and remarkable track accomplishments. Currently a Handley senior, he's already shattered school records and earned recognition as potentially the school's greatest track athlete ever. His humility shines through as he discusses drawing inspiration from both global icons like Usain Bolt and upperclassmen who blazed trails before him.
The conversation takes an exciting turn when Hassan Akanbi reveals he's already secured a starting running back position as a freshman at Lackawanna College, which recently moved up to Division II competition. His candid reflections on overcoming academic struggles and football injuries demonstrate remarkable resilience and growth.
Throughout the episode, these young stars discuss balancing academics with athletics, defining "Handley Pride," and the profound influence of parents and mentors. Their advice to younger athletes – avoiding comparisons, maintaining mental strength through setbacks, and seeking support when needed – offers wisdom beyond their years.
