My guest today is Jacob Hunter. As a high school athlete, Jacob won multiple state championships in Virginia and was on the 2x Nike Cross Country National Championship winning team for Loudoun Valley. Jacob went on to compete for the University of Virginia, notching PR’s of 4:03 in the mile and 14:05 in the 5k. All of this is extremely impressive in it’s own right, but what makes it even greater is that Jacob has been managing Type 1 Diabetes since he was 11 years old.
In this episode, we reflect on the challenges he faced while navigating sport and performance in high school and college, and some key takeaways that will help any athlete, regardless of the circumstances they face.
