Can I Play Pro Sports with Epilepsy? Yes, If You're Spenser Jaye.

This week I’m joined by Spenser Jaye—a former D1 and professional soccer player who’s been navigating epilepsy since she was 13. We get into what it really looks like to chase big goals when your nervous system has its own agenda: the decision points, the fear, the disclosure question, the stuff people don’t see… and the ways support can change everything.

We also talk about why Spenser built 1in26 Athlete Foundation—a space for athletes and active people with epilepsy to feel included, capable, and genuinely safe (without being told “you can’t” as the default).

If you’ve ever wondered, Can I still do the thing? — this one’s for you.
