<![CDATA[AD2 Podcast]]>Athletes Die Twice™ is a podcast hosted by Mychal Parker and Cameron Anderson about the side of sports we don’t talk about enough—what happens to the person behind the athlete.

Every athlete has a story beyond the highlights. Behind the wins, championships, contracts, and recognition are moments of pressure, self-doubt, sacrifice, rejection, injury, identity struggles, and eventually the realization that the game won’t last forever.

Through honest conversations with athletes at every stage of their journey, we explore the moments that shaped them mentally, the people and experiences that changed the way they saw themselves, and one of the hardest questions an athlete can face:

Who am I when I’m no longer an athlete?

Because for many athletes, retirement can feel like losing a version of yourself you spent your entire life building.

That’s why we say Athletes Die Twice™.

The first time is when the game ends.

The second is when life does.

The game ends. Your identity doesn’t.

In Episode 1 of the Athletes Die Twice Podcast, we sit down with Julian Bell, a former Clemson women’s lacrosse player and member of the first women’s lacrosse team in Clemson program history.

Julian opens up about what it meant to help build a Division I program from the ground up, the pressure and expectations that come with competing at the highest level, and the mental side of being an athlete that often goes unseen.

We dive into her journey through lacrosse, the moments that challenged her mentally, how her identity became connected to the game, and what happens when the sport that has shaped so much of your life begins to change.

This is a conversation about making history, navigating pressure, identity, and discovering who you are beyond your sport.
