The Runaround Podcast
Hi! My name is Sienna McEneaney and I am a high school journalism student and athlete who interviews other athletes about how sports affect their life. The Runaround Podcast will share the entire run-around of every guest’s experiences in and around athletics. Sports have the power to bring people together in a way not many other things can, and I want to help shine a light on that.

Playing Softball and Finding Meaning Outside of Sports with Kelsey O'Connor
Kelsey O'Connor shares her experiences in playing softball, getting recruited to compete in college, and dealing with injuries throughout her career. Kelsey shines a light on the less glamorous parts of high-level competition and how she learned to live a fulfilling life outside of softball. She also shares what it was like to give North Carolina State's commencement speech in 2023 and why she has since pursued a career in motivational speaking. This is such an important episode about athlete mental health and not letting your performances define you as a person.
