This week on Real Talk, I had the privilege of interviewing Tiya Misir, a basketball player for Toronto Metropolitan University. In this episode, Tiya teaches us how to navigate the mental game of being an athlete. Listen to  the full interview as we cover the following topics:

1. Finding balance in your athletic life
2. Developing your drive
3. Life as a D1 athlete
4. Overcoming depression
5. Evolving your athletic identity

Background on Tiya Misir:

Tiya Misir is a high-performing player on the Toronto Metropolitan Women’s basketball team who also played Division 1 basketball at Long Island University for 2 years. Being an undersized female athlete at 5 '2'' and one of West-Indian descent, Tiya continues to break barriers for the next generation of female athletes. Most recently, you can find Tiya in a Jordan brand commercial and playing in Toronto’s first professional Women’s basketball league.
