Machaela "Mac" Simmons, was a 3 year walk-on for the Duquesne University Women's Basketball team in the A10 from 2018-2020.

After many hardships, constant struggle, unfair treatment and uncontrollable situations thrown at her, she decided to step away from the program.

Mac & Noah discuss:
- Coaching staff being weird from the start
- The lack of respect given to her
- Her mental health: wanting to cry all day everyday
- Going from validation seeking to believing in herself
- Coaches lying to her and leading her on
- How she got through it / what she took away from it

Mac is currently finishing up her degree in Physical Therapy & runs a newsletter & fitness account called 'GetMactive'. which focuses on connecting people to mindfulness through fitness; which she explains more about in the show.
