In this episode of Unscripted with Ryan, Ryan is joined by Franklin Pierce senior volleyball player Annaka Lindstrom on National Girls & Women in Sports Day. Not only a family member of multiple NFL players, including standout Chris Lindstrom... but a leader on and off the court, Annaka reflects on her journey as a student-athlete, her time as a SAAC co-chair, and balancing athletics, academics, and multiple roles across campus.
They dive into what family truly means to her, growing up in a deeply athletic household, and the unique experience of playing volleyball alongside her sister at Franklin Pierce — mirroring the path her brothers took at Boston College. Annaka also opens up about finding her own identity in sports, finishing her collegiate volleyball career, and what it means to be a woman leading in athletics today.
Thoughtful, inspiring, and completely unscripted, this episode celebrates leadership, legacy, and the power of women in sports.
