THE JUCO JOURNEY: GRIT, TRANSITIONS & SECOND CHANCES
Description
In this episode of Under the Wing, I reconnect with a friend and former Delta College student-athlete, Alex Ramirez, for an authentic deep dive into the JUCO experience.
From our early days as childhood friends to reuniting in college, Alex shares her unique journey as a dual-sport athlete, tips regarding transitioning between schools, and the pivotal moments that shaped her both on and off the court.
But this episode goes deeper than sports. Alex opens up about overcoming adversity, including the loss of her father while at Delta, and how the unwavering support of her teammates and the tight-knit JUCO community helped her persevere. She also breaks down why JUCO is more than just a stepping stone—it’s a launchpad for personal development and lifelong relationships.
Tap in and hear firsthand why the JUCO grind builds not just better athletes, but better people.
