S1E3: Anya Covington

Marci’s guest is Anya Covington, CEO and Lead Consultant of Human2Human, LLC who acknowledges that she is ready to “strip naked” to be vulnerable and share her truth. Anya shares her unique perspective on how sport shaped her life and how she never allowed it to take control of her identity. As important of a role basketball played in her and her family’s life, it was never the defining identity. Basketball was and is just one of the many vehicles that lead to Anya’s self-discovery and self-confidence. Being raised in a supportive, disciplined, and loving home, Anya embraced her identity to lead through sport with compassion by relying on her upbringing to enforce her values, her faith in God and to lead future generations to be the best versions of themselves. Lessons learned throughout her sport journey were never easy. Bravery and resiliency is a defining theme as she talks through her life-threatening health conditions and a jaw-dropping police attack. These challenges combined with all the other setbacks athletes face while making decisions for their future. Anya has come out on top, she’s proud, she’s humble, and she leads with heart to enhance human connection from a place of wholeness.
