Madison Doucette is here to play for this episode of the Dream On Podcast. I am so excited for each of you to have a listen in to what makes Madison so great. Growing up in Kansas City, her main sport was hockey for the longest time, until she realized the trajectory her lacrosse career was on. Throughout getting to play alongside Madison this past year, it's evident that her work ethic is contagious on and off the lacrosse field.

Already having graduated in 3 years with an engineering degree from Northwestern and taking a gap year, Madison came back to lacrosse & school at Johns Hopkins. She crushed her return to the field, fell in love with the game again, and is now playing professionally while chasing after two more degrees and working an engineering job. Madison proves it's possible to wear a lot of hats, absolutely crush it while wearing each of them, and still find time to enjoy the little moments in life. I hope you enjoy this episode as we dive right into Douce's journey!

Katie O'Donnell is here for this episode, and I'm so excited for each of you to dive into our conversation with one of Penn State's most recognizable names in the game. We take a deep dive into KO's upbringing, having both a lacrosse and field hockey stick in her hands at a young age and viewing the game from a unique perspective as she supported her Mom's dreams as a lacrosse official in some of the biggest game atmospheres.

KO is now the head coach at Drexel University in Philly, and we talk a lot about some of her favorite pieces of advice, quotes to live by, and daily habits she focuses on that keep her dominating the dual life she lives, coaching Division I & playing professionally and for the Team USA training team. She has big dreams, and a lot of words of inspiration she's using to chase them. I hope you can take some little tidbits of wisdom from KO as you listen to this episode, because I sure know I did!

Sean DeLaney is the celebrated author of the newest book that I've personally added into my morning mindset routine, Masterpiece in Progress. He has written other masterpieces himself, and also is a decorated life coach and the host and director of the What Got You There podcast. Throughout this conversation we talk a lot about mindset, failure and success, working through doubt and hardship, and so much more.

Each conversation I have on the Dream On Podcast, I walk away from with so much wisdom and an undeniable amount of inspiration - this episode proved no different. From discussing Sean's journey to playing college and professional lacrosse, to developing skillsets that have brought him to success in his post-lacrosse life, to his outlook on life as a father and mentor today. We uncovered a ton in this episode, and I hope you get the chance to take away as much as I did from it.

Michelle Tumolo is a professional lacrosse player, Team USA Gold Medalist, and the coach at Wagner Women’s Lacrosse. Michelle was the first professional women’s lacrosse draft pick in 2016. Michelle and Kylie talk about being authentic, caring for others around you, and of course behind the back passes.

Emily Perrin is the founder and CEO of Perrin Wellness and Performance, a company bringing together elite female athletes to connect their mind, body, and soul through yoga and meditation (Kylie being one of them!) Kylie and Emily discuss their newfound partnership, turning negatives into positives, and reflecting on who they are outside of their professions.

Allie Drake is one of our KO17 Athletes, and someone we are so grateful to have as a part of our team! Allie is a Senior at Drexel playing Attack for their Women's Lacrosse program. She has been a part of game-winning Overtime goals for CAA Championships, and she has been a part of season-ending injuries. Through it all, she keeps a smile on her face and the rush that she gets from facing challenges head-on like she always has had.

She started playing club lacrosse as a sophomore in high school, grew up playing sports in an athletic household in Easton, PA; and now is studying User Experience and Interaction Design at Drexel while she crushes it on the field. She's officially back from a tough year dominating her ACL recovery, and we hope you can gain a ton of inspiring words from Allie throughout this entire episode as she explains her side of the journey.

Ellie Masera is here with us for this episode, and for those of you who don't know - Ellie and I both played collegiately for Stony Brook but our playing careers unfortunately never overlapped while we were there. Ellie is a star emerging at the highest levels currently - playing for Athletes Unlimited professionally and making a mark in her international career with Team USA on the Sixes and field training team rosters. If you've ever watched Ellie play, you know she's a speedster who just makes the game look so effortless -- the most difficult plays seeming to come easy to her time and time again.

But as we come to notice in talking through her journey on this podcast - she puts the work in when nobody is watching, she comes from a family whose passion surrounds the game, and she ultimately is a competitor that strives for success for her team no matter the circumstance. It was very intriguing for me to dive deeper into Ellie's story on this episode, and I feel closer than ever to my fellow Seawolf! I hope you can grab some inspiration from her too!
