Ep. 28: TGIM (Thank God It's Monday) - Part 1

Do you get excited for Monday's or do you pout upon realizing it's back to class or work? Do you add energy to a conversation or suck energy out of the room? Truth is, your response to any given situation can dictate what comes next. While in undergrad at Marquette University, Spencer Bonahoom pursued a unique opportunity to try out for Marquette's D1 men's basketball team as a walk-on. Committing the first two years of college to early mornings of self-instructed drills and bettering himself, Spencer not only aimed to show the coaches his basketball skills, but his discipline and consistency in showing up. Processing a tough tryout and outcome, Spencer realized that he had the choice of what would come next.

Today, Spencer works as Senior Academic Counselor in Student-Athlete Development and Leadership at American University. He works directly with student-athletes in forming their leadership skills, pursuing a balance between their sport, academics, and other formational opportunities, and preparing them for what comes next after college. Spencer joins the Project: Incomplete podcast to discuss the meaning behind TGIM (Thank God It's Monday), the college experience of student-athletes, and the greatest strength and weakness of young adults today.
