About This Podcast
Athletes are celebrated for their performance, but what happens behind closed doors after a major injury or something else occurs?
You put your life and career in the hands of people who you’re told know better but unfortunately they can make it worse, much worse.
This happened to me…and yes, I got angry, I lost trust, but I didn’t lose myself and I didn’t give up on the game.
I’m Ellison Jordan, former D1athlete and I created this podcast to expose the pain and betrayal that athletes - and those who love them - experience more often than you may think.
This podcast is for athletes battling injuries, dealing with the mental strain of being sidelined and even forgotten. It starts right here, with my story.
