Washington Spirit midfielder Maddie Elwell played at Vanderbilt and competed professionally in the NWSL. She also spent years learning how to separate who she is from how she performs.
In this episode of The Pressure Lab, Maddie and host Keith Wilford talk about athlete identity, the pressure of high-level competition, managing emotions on the field, and what it really takes to stay grounded when your sport defines how everyone sees you.
