Episode Notes

We spent the day at the University of Virginia and sat down with Katie Grimes for a conversation that felt especially meaningful. In this episode, Katie opens up about her transition from training as a high school athlete at Sandpipers to life at UVA, how dramatically her routine and independence changed, and why the team culture has been the steady anchor through it all. She reflects honestly on a challenging NCAA season, learning to separate her identity from performance, and trusting the process when results didn’t immediately show up. We also talk about happiness, growth, gratitude, and the relationships that now matter most to her. Thoughtful, emotional, and wise beyond her years, this conversation is a powerful look at what it really means to grow up in the sport.
