Dr. Roy Collins returns to the pod! He was a part of our series in 2020 “More Than a Diabetic.” Dr. Roy Collins is a Stanford Chief Resident, M.D., M.P.H., and Sports Psychologist. We are so excited to have him and his expertise back on the show!

In this episode Rob, Eritrea and Roy dig into:

• Getting comfortable with Diabetes while simultaneously being recruited by Yale

• Thriving as a young athlete regardless of limitations

• The transition from high school athlete to the accountability of being a college athlete

• The transition from being a lifelong athlete to a regular person in the real world

• Overcoming imposter syndrome and unfair comparisons

• Staying present and in the moment even with Diabetes always running in the background.

• “You’re not going to be successful all the time, but if you miss a bolus - failure is not final. What can I do better next time?”

• The inevitable interruptions that come with Diabetes.

• Being open to doing hard things and stepping outside of our comfort zones
