What do you do when you get nervous on the golf course? ⛳️

She was offered the Athletic Director job at Concordia College.

She said no.

For over a year, she told people it was because her youngest wasn’t in kindergarten yet. Because the job was heavily fundraising-based. Because her strength was with coaches and students, not donors.

Those were the reasons she said out loud.

But that’s not why she didn’t take it.

In Episode 30 of the Athletes IN Sports Podcast, Rachel Bergeson shares what she wasn’t willing to admit at the time — and the message she now tells every woman thinking about stepping into leadership.

Save this one for the next time you almost don’t take the leap.

Her son wrote her a letter the morning she was deciding whether to take the AD job at Concordia College.

“Dear Mom — you should take the AD job. Love, Tyden.”

She was about to make a decision that would reshape her family’s daily life. That her kids would grow up at work with her.

That she’d miss games. That she’d forget them at the rink once or twice (her words, not ours — “use your skills and get home”).

In Episode 30 of the Athletes IN Sports Podcast, Rachel Bergeson — Concordia College’s Athletic Director — shares what it really costs to lead, and why her family had to understand the trade before she said yes.

This one’s for every parent who’s had to choose between the job and the carpool.

Olympic Silver Medalist 🥈 Korey Dropkin Dropkin was one win away from making the Olympics… and watched that dream slip away.
