What’s up Saints! Welcome back to The Shipp Show (with two p’s and no t) – The podcast where Maryville University President Dan Shipp and Maryville University Student Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) President Justin Brewer talk all things athletics. For first time viewers, thanks for joining us! For returning viewers, thanks for coming back to join us for episode 4!

Episode 4 builds of of what we talked about in episode 3. In this episode, we chatted about disappointment and setback and how to deal with those things. As people, disappointments and setbacks happen all of the time. It is an inevitable reality of life. As an athlete, those setbacks take a different form and can sometimes come much more frequently. With the fast-pace competitive environment of college athletics comes chances for great success. However, there are also chances for failures and it is important that all people (athletes included) can recognize that and shift the narrative of what “failure” means. Setbacks and failures do not define you but rather they are stepping stones to your future successes. Disappointments, setbacks, failures…these are all things that can motivate you, they don’t have to tear you down. Listen to the episode to see how Dan and Justin have managed these things in their lives. Maybe you’ll pick up a new strategy for yourself 👀
