Making a decision about your future shouldn’t feel like pressure—it should feel like power.

In this episode, Susan walks athletes and families through one of the most pivotal parts of the recruiting journey: how to make a decision you won’t regret. Whether you're weighing D1 offers, choosing between club teams, or wondering if it’s too late to change your mind—this is the mindset shift you’ve been missing.

Learn how to separate desire from obligation, tune out external noise, and get clear on what YOU actually want. Because when your decision is aligned with your values, your vision, and your why—you show up with energy, motivation, and long-term success.
