Season 8 – Episode 21: From Fairways to Fast Ice, Eagles Chase Championships and Olympic Dreams

Season 8, Episode 21 centers on two in-depth conversations that highlight preparation and possibility across Eastern Michigan athletics. Men’s golf coach Andy Walker details how winter training, national rankings, and a deep roster have positioned his team for a MAC title push, stressing that “Golf is an outdoor sport” while embracing indoor work to refine “process and mentality and breathing.” He points to leaders like Charlie Box, who “wants to tear your guts out,” and a healthier lineup as key pieces in a postseason chase where “MAC determines postseason for us this year.” The episode then shifts to former track star Jasmine Jones, who reflects on her foundation at EMU and her path to the 2026 Winter Olympics in bobsled. “It’s definitely created this foundation that I needed,” Jones says of her Eastern career, recounting the moment she heard her name called for Olympic selection while “sitting on pins and needles.” From rebuilding confidence after her first World Cup win to balancing motherhood and elite sport, Jones shares a story grounded in belief, closing with a message that defines the episode’s tone: “As long as you believe it and you can strive to do it, then go do it.” See Privacy Policy at and California Privacy Notice at .
