In this episode of the Unit3d Podcast, PhD students Hallie Enderle and Jessica Wolf sit down with fellow Minnesotan, Olympian, and current LOVB Houston athlete Jordan Thompson as she explores the pressures and responsibilities that come with competing at the highest levels of sport while using her platform for advocacy.
Jordan shares reflections on her journey from Minnesota to the Olympic stage, navigating life in elite athletics and speaking out on issues that matter deeply to her, including the ICE occupation in Minnesota.
