  • Great podcast!

    Thanks so much for producing this! I can’t wait to share it with my daughter. Very inspirational to hear from these young champions in such a under the radar sport! My daughter is a competitive saber fencer and I know she will be inspired. Love the content and can’t wait for the next podcast.
