On Episode 2 of CORTside, we sit down with Lea B. Olsen and “Rethink the Win”.  Olsen is a former Division I athlete, current sports broadcaster and entrepreneur. Olsen has dedicated her life to the benefits and costs to winning. In this episode, Lea discusses the important positive impacts sports can have beyond the court. 

Following her playing days, Lea has carved out a career in sports journalism including experiences working for ESPN covering the WNBA’s Minnesota Lynx as an analyst and as a sideline reporter for the Minnesota Timberwolves. Olsen was inspired to form “Rethink the Win”, a non-profit organization that emphasizes to youth athletes the lessons learned through sports.

Lea is the host of The Youth Sports Intervention Podcast, which is an extension of her work on and off the court as she brings in a variety of guests from different areas of the sports world to help educate parents and players on the values that come from youth sports.
