Brand Academy: More Than The Game Podcast Episode 2

My name is Caroline Jurevicius and I’m a member of our women’s volleyball Team. I’m launching a podcast project called “More Than The Game” where I will talk with individuals involved in Penn State Athletics about their life experiences beyond being a D1 athlete.

This week our guest is one of my teammates Jess Mruzik, tune in to learn more about her journey and goals in Volleyball and in life.

My goal is to humanize the athlete beyond just a number on the depth chart or stats on the court or field. I would relish the opportunity to have you on for an episode to discuss your personal experiences and the exciting things happening in college sports while allowing our fans to know you on a deeper level.

This will be an inspiring and the next generational conversation with insight into our lives as athletes.
