The first interview of highlighting an athlete on the Podi Doni catches up with Tera Reed a young female basketball player currently playing in the USA. She shares about her experience and her journey. An insight into a college athlete and also a play on parental sacrifice.

In many professional sport there is always people behind the athlete. They don’t get any praise for the sacrifice that they make, they don’t ask for a handout. They just get on with it because they understand the implications if they don’t do it. In the world where it’s easy to be caught in the whirlwind of constant media attention and high paying salaries its easy to lose sight of the journey before. We look back on the journey with Mady and her partners success, as she is able to share some lessons.

Let’s talk about the ‘F’ word. An estimated 60 percent of professional athletes go broke within five years of retiring. If that doesn’t convince you to start looking at this, how about, money is the No. 1 thing couples argue about. So, it's no surprise that money-related conflicts are frequently cited as a reason for divorce. If you haven’t realised already the ‘F’ word is finances and we wanted to open this space up a bit. We discuss everything from savings, crypto to generational cycles. So, just come and listen with an open mind, you never know you might just learn something.

Join us for the first relationship sector of The Podi where Mady and Doni breakdown some truths around dating an athlete.
