I am aspiring podcaster who is passionate about exploring stories and experiences of women in the world of sports. Early on, I fell in love with athletic competition as I became fascinated with the mindset of athletes. I soon discovered that there has been a growing concern around mental health with young athletes. Personally, I struggle with navigating the highs and the lows, the pressures of expectations, and the unwavering pursuit of excellence.
Each episode, I will be interviewing female athletes in college and professional sports. Join me as I explore the world of sports and celebrate the achievements of these incredible athletes.
Our Name
Abby Kim
Abby Kim
The name is a combination of Latin and biology. The Latin word for athlete is "athleta". Since the focus of the podcast is on women, I chose to use the double x chromosome to represent women.
My Why
Growing up in an Asian family and Asian culture, I realized that mental health is not directly addressed but rather seen as an excuse for your shortcomings. I want to break that stigma and talk about the importance of mental wellness, especially among female athletes.
I am passionate about delving into different cultures and sub-cultures of sports and in life to find patterns and behaviors. I approach challenges as puzzles that are solvable as opposed to seeing issues as problems.
One of my inspirational quotes come from Henry Ford: "Whether you think you can, or you think you can't, you are right." And, I believe I can.
