Listen in as Host Nicky C and Special Guest Connor Hurren dive into Connor's athletic, social and academic journeys. As you listen you will learn about his football journey from 8th grade newbie to varsity star, his soccer past, his bulking and everything else in between.

The reason this episode has been posted so late after its recording is because I(the host Nicky C) have been busy with college apps, school, other extracurriculars, sports and mental health but also have procrastinated, been lazy and managed my time poorly. I apologize to Connor and all loyal listeners.
