WPDSports Press On Podcast
Ever want to know what’s in the minds and hearts of both collegiate student-athletes and veterans athletes alike? Sometimes not much. Other times? To know would blow your mind! Just ask them.
Join educator and sports mentor Dr. Scott McNeal as he, collegiate student-athletes, and veteran athletes engage in personal, somewhat unscripted monthly conversations about life and faith at the intersection of soul and sport.

WPDSports Press On Podcast
“Steamboat Sally” - B. McDaniel. “More Than Running!”
Special Veteran Spotlight!
Dr. Scott McNeal (Dr. M.) talks with Elizabeth (Beth) McDaniel (Luckell), former DII All-American cross-country and track and field student-athlete. Beth is a wife, mother of two and member of the workforce. New identity markers for sure.
Beth reflects on her early athletic endeavors and her sudden attraction to running thanks, in part, to a less than stellar moment at marching band practice. After a rather “cocky” arrival to college, Beth recalls the first workouts that change her attitude.
A love for travel and missions makes a call during the college years. Beth reflects on one adventure where she and another friend travel the back roads of Ethiopia in search of…well...something. The kind of trip that Beth says she will never allow her daughter to make…RIGHT!
Finally, Beth reflects on motherhood and career, and the discipline it still takes to show up holistically to all these post-college “adult” identity roles – discipline she learns from both her growing faith and her continual love of sport.
*Listen for the abrupt and delightful presence of Master Theodore who simply wants some mic-time.
