Ep 1: The Launch: A Real Look at the College Athlete Experience

In our very first episode of the Shining Athletes Podcast, we sit down with Tatum Settelmyer—an Arizona State University graduate and former women’s basketball and tennis athlete—for a real, unfiltered look at the college athlete experience.

Tatum shares her journey through different roles and transitions during her time as a student-athlete, opening up about time management, shifting priorities, leadership growth, and the realities of balancing it all. Whether you’re a high school athlete preparing for the next level or someone who just wants an honest glimpse into the life of a college athlete, this episode has something for you.

Join us as we officially launch Shining Athletes and kick off the podcast with an inspiring and relatable story about growth, grit, and finding your place.
